Hello,
I'm looking for software (free or not) that allows me to overlay 2 .pdf files
Example:
- The pdf1 file contains this: /
- The pdf2 file contains this: \
- After overlay, I would get this: X
Well, that's for those who might not have understood!!!
I know it exists; I've found it on the internet, but apparently, it requires coding... and I'm not familiar with that at all... I have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but I can't find the function...
So I would like to have a link to the program as well as an explanation of how it works...
Thank you for your replies

I found it!
A brief explanation for those who are looking like I was:
- Download pdftk (the folder contains a pdftk.exe file)
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the downloaded pdftk folder
- type: pdftk.exe
- type: pdftk dessus.pdf background dessous.pdf output superposition.pdf
where:
- "dessus.pdf" is the name of the top file
- "dessous.pdf" is the name of the bottom file
- "superposition.pdf" is the output file
Note: you need to place the files "dessus.pdf" and "dessous.pdf" in the downloaded "pdfkt" folder, and the created file "superposition.pdf" will appear in the same folder...
There you go! A little guide for this handy little program!
