custom stamp names and thumbnails

[fabrizio]

Hi there, I just created a custom collection of stamps using PDF Viewer SDK. The PDF file containing my collection is placed in C:\Documents and Settings\user.name\Dati applicazioni\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps and that's good for me.
Now I need to place stamps using javascript addAnnot:

Code: Select all

this.addAnnot({page: 0, type: "Stamp", author: "me", name: "stampname", rect: [200, 200, 350, 300], contents: "", AP: "APStampName" });

Opening the PDF file I noticed a section with the stamps name list.

Code: Select all

/Names [(14c2dce6-a09e-471f-a2fe870168f4cfd1=name_0) 16 0 R (1aeb5984-3b3e-41d2-be7e3f378809e355=name_1) 8 0 R (35d9e9c1-44ef-43c0-b5cb60a6191d34a5=name_2) 15 0 R (365d0d9c-2b16-4c64-b9348f8c83c91a0d=name_3) 18 0 R (3bc51fe5-548e-47cd-b52a17502bd4cd14=name_4) 19 0 R (3dc4ba11-8642-4336-bdca88f17c4c02dd=name_5) 14 0 R (42bab11a-36fe-4f8e-97dae012608612ba=name_6) 12 0 R (4d4cddf6-b38d-4462-b2c3c0b9e9dfe758=name_7) 17 0 R
(7201d91d-ec88-4dfe-bc64392b5eea4dee=name_8) 13 0 R (b927a5c8-ab46-40ad-bc0a602646cc0c6d=name_9) 9 0 R (c4f65d01-9d93-4d65-9d70fbdab4f2dc15=name_10) 11 0 R (c828c8b1-87e0-4f0a-9887c5134a9141b1=name_11) 10 0 R (d65f8c01-7cd6-45b3-b98ca866fc807977=name_12) 7 0 R]

So my question.. Is it possible from the PDF AX component to get the stamp name list? Can't find a solution in the SDK Manual.
And is there a way of getting stamp thumbnails from the PDF stamp file too?
Thank you for any hint on this.

Hello Fabrizio,

Thank you for your question. I am not sure it can be done directly with a single AX function, but we are discussing the problem here, and as soon as we have any suggestion for you we will post in in the topic!

I'm afraid for now there are no way to enumerate available stamps names.

[fabrizio]

Ok. Is there any plan to include this feature in a future release?
Thank you

Hello fabrizio,

I just spoke with Ivan, and he told me that this feature is not currently on our radar - but in the long term anythign can change!

Best,
