Adding Custom Stamp Image

[rmcmanamy]

Is it possible to add a custom stamp programatically? We can create them through the pallette and add them but I would like to just tell the Style to be able to use a filename.

And how does the Type property correspond to the Style Pallette? It gives me some weird GUID type of value when it's a custom stamp.

To choose a stamp programmatically, call:
SetProperty("Commenting.Stamp.Styles[0].Type", "<Stamp Name>", 0);
<Stamp Name> represents internal, unique name of stamp object (for new stamps, which are added by the viewer, it should be GUID).
You can see the stamp's internal name in the drop-down menu for the 'Stamp Tool' in tooltips with the 'Ctrl' key pressed.

It would be extremelly helpful if we could either pass the filename for the stamp or somehow programatically query the list of defined stamps to get their display name, filename, and GUID.

Hi, rmcmanamy.

These features can be added to the next version of our pdf-viewer(v3).
Thanks for your patience.

Can you tell me how to programattically add a stamp using a filename (bmp file)? I am using VB6.

Hi, promisekey.

Sorry, it is not possible with current version.
We will implement this feature in our new version V3.

When is V3 scheduled to be released?
How does "V3" relate to the PDF XChange versions? I currently have Version 4 of the SDK installed.
How do your develpers insert the "PDF-XChange Viewer - Click to buy NOW!" in the corners when saving?

Hi promisekey,

V3 of the end user Viewer is planned for release by the end of this month, and the SDK will follow shortly after.

We have two ranges of products - the printing drivers which are currently at v5 (named PDF XChange 2012) - and the Viewer -which is currently at v2 and v3 is upcoming.

Best,
Stefan

This is an essential feature for us to consider implementing your software. Do you offer any betas of v3 so I can test this new feature?

Hi promisekey,

Sorry but no beta is publicly available yet.

Best,
Stefan
