Add text to a pdf

[simonwait]

Hi

I have a pdf which is generated by others. In it are details for a sports club team. I have a registration number held in an access database which I need to apply to each member of the team but the trouble is that every time the pdf is produced it seems to randomly place the members of the team.

I'm trying to figure a way to find the players name in the pdf and then add the registration number at an x and y position offset to that name. The document will then be printed (probably to a new DPF)

While I have done VBA on several projects I have no idea where to start or if its even possible with this one..

Thanks in advance

I have manually edited text in OCR-enabled PDF and it can be frustrating because often the text is not well-structured. I can imagine accomplishing with VBA would be very difficult. To even start, would likely need Adobe Acrobat Pro installed.
