I am trying to use a graphic as an overlay and I am having trouble. Please see the attached files and let me know what I am doing wrong
====================
Please add "-L" parameter to place the image at underlay, for example,

pdfstamp.exe -PDF "D:\temp3\doc1.pdf" -o "D:\temp3\doc2.pdf" -AI "D:\temp3\Form0001.tif" -h25 -w25 -opacity 0 -L

the function of -L parameter:

Use the -L parameter to stamp under the existing text and/or graphics of the input PDF document; the default is top most of all layers.

Hi Support,

We have been using the OS 2003 32 bit version of pdfstamp.dll and able to stamp successfully using Domino applications. Recently we have moved to OS 2008 64-bit and we have purchased the new DLL files for the OS 2008 Windows -64 Bit with the above mentioned order number.
When we tried to register the new dll files we had some problems. Please let us know the detailed registration and configuration process.

Domino Error: We have an error message while loading the DLL. "Error in loading DLL".

Below are some of the error messages when we tried to register. Please help us as soon as possible as the business is effecting and also provide the contact number for more clarification. Thanks.
================================
Please run following command line to register PDFStampOcx.dll COM interface,

C:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe PDFStampOcx.dll

PDFStampOcx.dll is a 32bit COM interface to the PdfStamp.dll library, after you registered PDFStampOcx.dll, you can call "PDFStampOCX.CPDFStamp" from your code to stamp PDF files easily, please refer to following sample ASP code,

--------------------------------------------
Very_Set_Range = 131
Very_Set_Opacity = 240
Very_Get_Opacity = 240
Very_Get_PdfPageCount = 206
Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp = 260

Set oTest = Server.CreateObject("PDFStampOCX.CPDFStamp")
Response.write "Create Object Success!"

szPDFFile = "d:\testtt\example.pdf"

oTest.veryRegEx("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
'//%text stamp%
'//%page header and page footer%
'//%Stamps are placed in the duplicate file, leaving the original copy unchanged%
id = oTest.veryOpenEx(szPDFFile, "d:\testtt\1.pdf")

If (id > 0) Then
page = 1
pagecount = oTest.veryGetFunctionEx(id, 206, 0, 0, 0, 0)
For page = 1 To pagecount
left = oTest.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, page, 0, "left", 0)
top = oTest.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, page, 0, "top", 0)
pagewidth = oTest.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, page, 0, "width", 0)
pageheight = oTest.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, page, 0, "height", 0)

iRet = oTest.verySetFunctionEx(id, 131, page, 1, 0, 0)
strStampBuf = "Page:" + Str(pagecount - page + 1) + ", Page Box: [" + Str(left) + " " + Str(top) + " " + Str(pagewidth) + " " + Str(pageheight) + "]"
iRet = oTest.veryAddTextEx(id, 2, strStampBuf, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 300, 0, 10, 1, "https://www.verypdf.com", 0)
Next page
code = oTest.veryAddTextEx(id, 7, "\d\n\t", 255, 0, 50, -30, 0, 0, 0, 0, NullString, 10, 0, NullString, 0)
code = oTest.veryAddTextEx(id, 5, "Page \P3+1 of \c", 255, 0, -50, -30, 0, 0, 0, 0, NullString, 10, 0, NullString, 0)

oTest.veryCloseEx (id)
Response.write "1.pdf Success!"
Else
Response.write "Open file failer!"
End If
--------------------------------------------

PdfStamp.dll is a Win32 DLL Library, you can call it from your code directly, but you can’t register it by regsvr32.exe application, because it is not a COM component.

In the PDFStamp SDK/COM v2.5 version, you can also use PDFStampCom.exe COM interface, this COM can be used from both 32bit and 64bit systems, you can run following command line to register it,

PDFStampCom.exe /regserver

You need register it in a CMD window by administrator privilege, after you register it, you can use following code to call it,

------------------------------------------
strPDFFile = strFolder & “\example.pdf”
strOutFile = strFolder & “\vbcom-test.pdf”
Set pdfstamp = CreateObject(“PDFStampCOM.CPDFStamp”)
pdfstamp.veryRegEx "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
id = pdfstamp.veryOpenEx(strPDFFile, strOutFile)
‘id = pdfstamp.VeryStampLayerOpenEx(strPDFFile, strOutFile, “PDFManWatermark_Overlayer”, “PDFManWatermark_Underlayer”)
If (id > 0) Then
Page = 1
iRet = pdfstamp.verySetFunctionEx(id, Very_Set_InsertMultipleImageCopy, 1, 0, 0, 0)
pagecount = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PdfPageCount, 0, 0, 0, 0)
MsgBox “PDF file: ” & strPDFFile & “, Page Count = ” & CStr(pagecount)
For Page = 1 To pagecount

leftpos = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “left”, 0)
top = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “top”, 0)
pagewidth = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “width”, 0)
pageheight = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “height”, 0)

‘We need to control which pages the stamp goes on
iRet = pdfstamp.verySetFunctionEx(id, Very_Set_Range, Page, 1, 0, 0)
strStampBuf = “Page:” + CStr(pagecount – Page + 1) + “, Page Box: [" + CStr(leftpos) + " " + CStr(top) + " " + CStr(pagewidth) + " " + CStr(pageheight) + "]”
Next
pdfstamp.veryCloseEx (id)
End If

======================================
Are you using VB.NET code?

In general, you can’t call "PdfStamp.dll" from your 64bit source code directly, because "PdfStamp.dll" is a 32bit DLL Library, it can only be called from 32bit application, please notice this matter.

We suggest you may register PDFStampCom.exe first, and import “PDFStampCOM.CPDFStamp” from your source code, please refer to following sample source code, “PDFStampCOM.CPDFStamp” com interface can be called from both 32bit and 64bit applications,

you can use administrator privilege to run following command line to register PDFStampCom.exe into your system first,

PDFStampCom.exe /regserver

then you can use following source code to call “PDFStampCOM.CPDFStamp” com interface,
------------------------------------------
strPDFFile = strFolder & “\example.pdf”
strOutFile = strFolder & “\vbcom-test.pdf”
Set pdfstamp = CreateObject(“PDFStampCOM.CPDFStamp”)
pdfstamp.veryRegEx “XXXXXXXXXXXXXX”
id = pdfstamp.veryOpenEx(strPDFFile, strOutFile)
‘id = pdfstamp.VeryStampLayerOpenEx(strPDFFile, strOutFile, “PDFManWatermark_Overlayer”, “PDFManWatermark_Underlayer”)
If (id > 0) Then
Page = 1
pagecount = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PdfPageCount, 0, 0, 0, 0)
MsgBox “PDF file: ” & strPDFFile & “, Page Count = ” & CStr(pagecount)
For Page = 1 To pagecount

leftpos = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “left”, 0)
top = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “top”, 0)
pagewidth = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “width”, 0)
pageheight = pdfstamp.veryGetFunctionEx(id, Very_Get_PageBoxForStamp, Page, 0, “height”, 0)

‘We need to control which pages the stamp goes on
iRet = pdfstamp.verySetFunctionEx(id, Very_Set_Range, Page, 1, 0, 0)
strStampBuf = “Page:” + CStr(pagecount – Page + 1) + “, Page Box: [" + CStr(leftpos) + " " + CStr(top) + " " + CStr(pagewidth) + " " + CStr(pageheight) + "]”
Next
pdfstamp.veryCloseEx (id)
End If
------------------------------------------
If you still can’t get it work, please create a remote desktop account on your test machine, after we logged into your test machine, we will figure out a solution to you asap.

VeryPDF
====================================
We are using Lotus Notes Script to execute the function to stamp the documents.

FYI,
We have been using the stampPDF.dll from 2005 in our application.We have purchased the first version in 2005 and after that we have purchased the latest SDK version.
Presently we are using this Stamp functionality in more than 350 applications .
It is very difficult to add VeryRegEx() function in all the applications.
So please provide the full custom-build version of pdfstamp.dll to solve our problem as well as please do consider that the dll provided will work for All MS-office versions.
==============================
Thanks for your message, are you compile your source code at AnyCPU platform? If yes, we suggest you may recompile your source code at x86 platform, then you can call pdfstamp.dll from your source code directly. If you compile your source code at x86 platform, you needn’t call COM interface, you can call 32bit pdfstamp.dll directly, you needn’t change anything to your source code.
