    Default Add lines to pages in a file

    Ok, I've heard that I can do this with templates. But I'm not sure how to do this. Here is what I want to have. I have a PDF with several pages. Each page has some UPS mail tags, but now I would like to add some lines to divide each tag. These lines will always be in the same position. How can I add these lines to every pages. Mind you that each PDF has different amounts of pages. The way I'm doing it right now is a pain in the buttttt. Here is what I do. I open the mail tags PDF. I then insert my lines at the end of the PDF pages. I select my TouchUP Object tool and I do a select all that is on the last page. I then go to the first page and I do a paste. The lines paste in position I then do a Print of the first page. Then I go to second page and do a paste and print and so on for the rest of the pages. I would like to have the added lines on all pages but the problem is when I go to the second and do a paste I lose the lines on the first pages. And if I go the third page and paste I lose the lines on the second page. And this takes on until I go to my last page. That's way I have to print before I go on to the next page. So, is there a way where I can have these lines added to all pages so I can do a print of all pages at once and not one at a time?

    My personal opinion is that you are asking too much of Acrobat, which is neither a word processor nor a layout program. I would do the edits in the original files (from which the PDFs were produced), and generate new PDFs.

    Yeah that would be ideal. Have it done in the original files. However, the program that I use does not create these lines I would like to add. In Acrobat 5 I was able to create a AppleScript that would add these lines for me but not in Acrobat 6.
