In my perspective, I believe it's possible, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could initiate a discussion on this topic.

Hi @Deenuji
thank you so much it works for me
Please use version 5.5.13.3
My recommendation is to initially try the code in a Visual Studio console application. This way, we can properly identify all the dependencies before integrating the code with PAD.
Thank you for bringing this question to our community forum. I truly appreciate the opportunity to delve into such an out-of-the-box topic. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience crafting solutions for it.
I managed to accomplish this using .NET scripts.

// Create a reader for the input PDF
using (var reader = new PdfReader(inputPdfFilePath))
{
// Create a stamper for adding content to the input PDF
using (var stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(outputPdfFilePath, FileMode.Create)))
{
// Iterate through the pages of the PDF
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
// Get the content byte array for the current page
PdfContentByte content = stamper.GetOverContent(i);
// Example: Add text
content.BeginText();
content.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(), 12);
content.SetTextMatrix(100, 50); // Set position
content.ShowText(text);
content.EndText();
// Example: Add image
Image image = Image.GetInstance(imagePath);
image.SetAbsolutePosition(100, 100); // Set position
content.AddImage(image);
}
}
