Create custom stamp date format & presets & fit to width [Suggestions]

[MedBooster]

1) Please consider adding "fit to width" to this useful tool for creating dynamic stamps.

2) Is there a way to save certain presets so that you can load them into "create custom stamp" ?

So that you don't have to add shapes etc. every time if all you want to do is to create some similar stamps with the same shapes just different colors and text

3) Is there a way to edit already created "create custom stamp"-stamps? In the "create custom stamp"-window? (not appdata stamp folder)

Hello, MedBooster

1) The "arrange" tools are available from the right click context menu:

(Note that "fit to width" is specific to text comments, and cannot be applied to Form fields due to the nature of how their data is stored and presented)

2) Stamp templates are available in the top left corner, you can certainly create your own:

3) No, editing of an existing stamp is not possible in this way.

Kind regards,

Thank you

As a workaround

text-alignment can be set to center

PS:
under "create custom stamp" you can set the border color to transparent for DATE input, but you can't for the textbox border color.

The workaround seems to be to set the border width to 0

Please add a copy/paste formatting button (preferably with the same keyboard shortcut attached as the format tab in PDF-XCE
(for the create custom stamp tool)

As of now there are only these two

Is there a way to enable a grid view in the custom stamp tool?

Or is your best hope to use the arrow keys to at least get evenly spaced text / images?

Could you add a 24 hour clock , not just 12 hour... even the non tt, one without AM/PM seems to show 12h only?

is this based on your system settings?

post scriptum
p.s.

it is slightly annoying that it says
am pm in lower case...

isn't it usually either am pm, or A.M. P.M. (capital letters)

*Wouldn't have been much of an issue if you were able to add your own JavaScript additions into the tool*
Are you able to?

Hello, MedBooster

The supported formats are hardcoded at the moment, there is no relation to other settings. This request has been passed along to the Dev team and is awaiting approval.

Regarding the latter mention of AM/PM, It is a stylistic item, but I do not believe there is any official format these are required to be in.

[Edit]: We have a new ticket!
RT#7221: FR: New Custom Stamp - 24 hour time

Kind regards,

PS:
you wouldn't be able to allow for custom javascript in the custom stamp tool?

Or is this already the case?

Hello MedBooster,

You can create your stamp, and then modify it to change the JS if needed. So custom JS code is possible, it will just need to be added after you've used the tool initially. It is intended for people who do not have JS knowledge to still be able to create some dynamic forms, so it adds the code for the person using it, but that code can then be modified further as needed!

Kind regards,
Stefan

custom stamp templates, where are they imported, under which import setting do they go?

quite strange that dd/mm/yyyy hh:MM:ss is not a 24 hour clock. It doesn't make sense to have it as 12h without am/pm

Would you consider allowing for custom javascript input?
I myself would use formats such as these:
dd.mm.yyyy hh:MM:ss
OR
dd.mm.yyyy hh:MM:ss am/pm


In coding, the representation of time can vary based on the format used. Here’s how the 12-hour and 24-hour clock formats are typically spelled out:

12-Hour Clock
Format: hh:mm AM/PM
Example: 02:30 PM or 11:45 AM
24-Hour Clock
Format: HH:mm
Example: 14:30 or 23:45

Hello, MedBooster

custom stamp templates, where are they imported, under which import setting do they go?

To my knowledge, they should be part of either the "common" settings, or "presets", but I have not tested personally yet.

Regarding your feedback about the clock options, that is a good point, I will raise this with the team to see what can be done.


Kind regards,
