Just as a shot in the dark, try this as a first guess at proceeding:
filelist=glob.glob('*.pdf')
# filelist is a list variable; each *.pdf file name is an item in the
# list variable.
#now we will walk the list, doing the same trhing to every item.
for file in filelist: # do the same stuff to every file listed
dosomething
dosomethingelse
See if thie helps getting something started. I know nothing about how to
insert data into an existing pdf file, can you advise?
