I don't have a exact soluation for your problem, however, I had a similar one, namely that I wanted to add fields to a pdf from VBA.

I can tell you that Adobe has a JavaScript API which you can control through vba.

Here is the link to the API https://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html

And this is a part of the code I used in VBA to control fields in the PDFs.

Set app = CreateObject("Acroexch.app")
app.Show
Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Set AForm = CreateObject("AFormAut.App") 'from AFormAPI
AVDoc.Open(pathsdf, "")

Ex = "Put your JavaScript Code here"

AForm.Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript Ex

You should probably look at the insertPages method in the API.

What is als possible is using the build in reference from VBA to Acrobat. However, I found it very limited and I did not work with it. There are only a few objects available, here are some examples:

Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.AcroApp
Dim objAcroAVDoc As New Acrobat.AcroAVDoc
Dim objAcroPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim objAcroPDPage As Acrobat.AcroPDPage
Dim annot As Acrobat.AcroPDAnnot
