Feature Request: Stamp multiple pages in one step

Post by mbode »

I would like to be able to select several pages in the Pages Thumbnail Pane and apply a stamp to all selected pages with one action. The stamp should appear in the same size and position on all pages marked in the pane.

Alternatively one could copy-paste stamps and also copy their properties if the paste is on a new page. When paste is done on the same page the 2nd stamp must be inserted on a slightly moved position. Otherwise the user might not realize that duplication is already done.

It would be great if this could be implemented in the near future! Currently it's a pain to recreate and reposition stamps every time.

Thanks!
Matt

That's a valid point. Haven't thought of it as it did not happen in my cases yet.

If the position of a stamp can be defined as X cm/inch from left margin and from top margin then I would place the pasted object on that point even when changing from portrait to landscape. The repositioning for these exceptions would have to be done manually. You already have a routine in the app that prevents a stamp from being moved over the right margins once an existing stamp is moved. That would be the second condition. (1st) Place it on the coordinate of the original object, but (2nd) if that is outside the right margin place it close to the border.

Does your question indicate that you don't find the request too weird?

I echo this request. One should be able to multi-select the thumbnails and stamp the selected in one go.
