Batch add signature blocks to PDF files

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know of a way that I can add a signature block to a specific part of a PDF file for every PDF file in a directory?

Sadly, the environment I am in does not allow me to install any third-party programs out side of MS Office and Adobe acrobat (pro if need be).

So I am mainly looking for a scripting solution (VB, or other) that can add a signature block (signature form block) to a specific part of a PDF file, and then I plan on implementing a loop that applies that signature block to the same position in a bunch of other pdfs files.

Process:
Run script
Script adds signature to  c:\pdfs\pdf1 at location x,y
script adds signature to  c:\pdfs\pdf2 at location x,y
..
..
..


Any help would be much appreciated thanks!!

if acrobat pro is installed you can use the api of acrobat to add a signature to your pdf files. you do that by adding a customized menu function (i think i used a function called 'binder' or similar which is part of acrobat pro installation) and then you could call that menu function from your program by using the api.
