Custom Stamp Editing

Post by CBF_M_2025 »

No direct editing:
PDF-XChange Editor does not allow direct modification of the content within a stamp once it has been applied to a document. Please change this to allow for editing/updating custom stamps. It is very frustrating to have to recreate a stamp in its entirety for minor changes.

Hi, CBF_M_2025

I am afraid that is dictated by the ISO PDF specifications. Once placed stamps are immutable.

This is intended. If you want to change what you stamped, you will need to apply a second stamp, or use a different approach. Comments for example may be modified after applying them.

It is the nature of stamps however that they cannot be changed after applying them.

I expect you will find all other compliant PDF software does the same.
Best regards
