StampPDF Plug-In

Add Useful Imprints to any PDF File

Modify and Personalize PDF Files with High Quality, Consistently Placed, and Uniform Stamps

If your organization needs to add text-based stamps to documents on a regular basis, Appligent’s StampPDF® Plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® has the answer for consistency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

The plug-in lets governmental organizations, corporations and law firms add page numbers, copyright notices, disclaimer statements, file names/numbers, Bates numbering, and more to existing PDF files.

Add one stamp or many stamps to PDF documents. The stamps become a permanent part of the document.

If your organization requires dynamic stamping or batch stamping of PDF files, check out StampPDF Batch, our Server-based software application for adding content to existing PDF files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you create a Bates stamp?

A: In StampPDF Plug-in, Bates numbering works similarly to regular page numbering. The variable used for Bates numbering is %J. If you would like to start numbering at a number other than 000001, place the number to start before the J. Learn more about working with StampPDF variables.

Q: How do I remove the old page numbers and re-apply new page numbers to my PDF?

A: You can set up your stamp file to apply a white jpeg image over the area that contains the old number and also have a stamp item to apply the new page numbers. Learn more about using StampPDF Plug-in.
