How do I add the same image to multiple pages of a PDF?

I have a multiple-page PDF, and I need to add an image in the same place on every page of the PDF. Is there a way to apply the same image to all pages without having to place it on each page individually? (No big deal if it were only a few pages, but it's thousands of pages of merged variable data).

Unfortunately the original file is coming from someone else. I'm intercepting the PDF after the merge has already been done. All I have is the multiple-page PDF. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you have Adobe Acrobat one idea is Add a Watermark from an image file, keeping its opacity as 100% and setting the image position as needed, such as at the top-right of each page.
To do this go to menu View -> Tools -> Page, click on Watermark and choose Add Watermark.
Then you will be able to choose an image file and configure its position.

Another idea is to place a button using an image as an icon in its layout and duplicate it across pages, flattening the pages with a script after that.
