Programmatically modify stamp collection

[dougk@bbsoft.com.au]

Is it possible to perform the following programmatically from a c# application:
1) Add a new PDF file (which has the stamp) to a custom stamp collection
2) Replace an existing PDF file (which has a replacement stamp) to the same stamp collection

The reason I am trying to replace the stamp is that information on it has to change each time.
I can recreate the PDF stamp with this changed information (date, unique number, etc.) and utilise this as the stamp.

Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm afraid but you have no possibility to manage programmatically the stamp collections using our Viewer SDK. Such features are available for you in our new Editor SDK only.

Cheers.

Okay. Would you have any samples on how this is done using the Editor SDK.

Hello dougk@bbsoft.com.au,

Here's a small code snippet that I had on this matter:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IPXC_StampsCollection SC = pxcInst.StampsManager.CreateEmptyCollection("MyStamps");
PDFXEdit.IAFS_Name name = fsInst.DefaultFileSys.StringToName(@"C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Editor\Stamps\ENU\DynamicDate.pdf");
PDFXEdit.IAFS_File file = fsInst.DefaultFileSys.OpenFile(name, (int)PDFXEdit.AFS_OpenFileFlags.AFS_OpenFile_Read | (int)PDFXEdit.AFS_OpenFileFlags.AFS_OpenFile_ShareRead);
SC.AddStamp(file, "Red", 0);
file = fsInst.DefaultFileSys.OpenFile(name, (int)PDFXEdit.AFS_OpenFileFlags.AFS_OpenFile_Read | (int)PDFXEdit.AFS_OpenFileFlags.AFS_OpenFile_ShareRead);
SC.AddStamp(file, "Blue", 1);

Also, there is a IPXC_StampsCollection::RemoveStamp method that allows removing the stamp from the stamps collection.
Also, check out this interface - it is used to work with Stamp Collections:
