PDF Stamp is an advanced product that enables you to stamp content into a PDF document. Besides images, texts, PDF Stamp is able to add links. These processes can be realized in a determined number of pages with precise control over the size and position, the stamped text and/or images become a permanent part of each PDF document. There is no limit to the amount of stamps you could apply to a single document and no limit to the amount of documents you can stamp, as special feature you can integrate PDF Stamp into yourself programs (Include client side and Server side applications).

PDF Stamp lets you stamp watermarks such as "Confidential" on pages that include sensitive information or "Draft" on a preliminary PDF document to be distributed for review. You can stamp PDF document names, revision numbers, Date/Time stamps, bates numbering, pages numbers, contact information or any text that you need added to the file.

With the JPEG image support you can stamp company logos, author signatures, products, charts or any artwork in JPEG format. A Scale feature is provided with image stamping to easily increase or decrease the size of the stamped image, leaving the original image size intact.

Use stamp PDF to apply text, watermarks and backgrounds to a PDF document. With stamp PDF, users can customize the content, appearance and action of each stamp as well as combining multiple stamps into one stamp profile. This includes aligning and setting the size of each stamp, or even making your stamps behave like hyperlinks.

With PDF stamp COM/SDK, you can:

Stamp text and dynamic text
Apply page numbers
Apply image watermarks (JPEG, GIF, TIF, TIFF, PCX, PNG, TGA, ICO, BMP, JP2, PNM image formats)
Specify the position, scale and angle of rotation for text and image stamps
Set actions for individual stamps
Use all of these functions in batch process

String

String is the content of the stamp that you will create. In your stamp the text to be stamped must be enclosed in quotation mark, as with all other parameters in the stamp content.

Using variables in stamp content

When you are working with documents, there is a lot of information that varies from document to document - dates, times, filenames, etc. Even within a document there are things that change from page to page, such as page numbers or headers and footers. PDF Stamp software provides a large series of variables that access this dynamic information and stamp it into your document.

Note: All variables must be preceded by the slash (\) character. If the \ character is missing, the variable name will appear in the stamped text. If you want to use the \ character in a stamp it must be listed in the stamp file as \\.

Below is a table of all variables available showing the variable name, what it does, and an example.

Variable	Format	Example Output
\t	Local time	e.g. 10:10:10
\d	Local date	e.g. 2003-12-30
\D	Local date	e.g. 30-12-2003
\p	Current page number	Maybe "Page \p" equal "Page 3"
\P±n	Current page number ± a specified value	Maybe "Page \p+1" equal "Page 4"
\c	Total page number	Maybe "Total \c" equal "Total 3"
\T	Title of this PDF
\A	Author of this PDF
\S	Subject of this PDF
\n	New line. Use for multi-line stamps	Sample stamp, line1 Sample stamp, line2 Sample stamp, line3
\\	\ (Use when stamp must include percentage symbol)	\
\f	Filename	e.g. abc.pdf
\F	Filename + file path	e.g. C:\abc.pdf
\B	\B(Bates Numbers)	e.g. \B(000001)
