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.

Assembly reference:

.Net Script Configuration:
Parameters:

Results:
Code:
SET InputFilePath TO $'''C:\\Users\\Documents\\PAD_Document.pdf'''
SET OutputFilePath TO $'''C:\\Users\\Downloads\\Output_result.pdf'''
SET Append_Text TO $'''Hello!! This is deenu from PAD community!!'''
SET Image_Path TO $'''C:\\Deenu\\PAD_Image.jpg'''
Scripting.RunDotNetScript Imports: $'''iTextSharp.text
iTextSharp.text.pdf''' Language: System.DotNetActionLanguageType.CSharp ReferenceRootPath: $'''C:\\Deenu\\Assemblies''' Script: $'''
// 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);
}
}

@neerajpokh
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.
