    Hello, pre-purchase question:

    Can i custom design the stamp? my company has rounded stamps with company logo, and manual customer details inputted into it. Can i use this plugin to create custom stamps based on customer info such as name, email, …etc?

    Cheers

    1. Shahjada

      If you use text stamp option, you can dynamically stamp customer details in text format, how for there is also an option to stamp a pre-designed image. However, to create the stamp image dynamically, there will require additional customization.

  4. Sindy Lallemand

    I have just taken out the full subscription of the extensions that you offer but I cannot find the file to activate this extension, what is its name? THANKS

    1. Shahjada

      wpdm-pdf-stamper.zip

      1. Sindy Lallemand

        the zip folder is empty?!?

        1. Shahjada

          Sorry for your inconvenience., it is fixed now, please download again.

  5. Sowmedia

    Is it possible to add a new font for the PDF Stamper?

  6. Rafael Aguiar

    Hello, please insert compatibility with php 8.0

    1. Shahjada

      It is now.

  7. Rafael Aguiar

    Hi, is it compatible with php 8?

  8. Trágora SCA ESF18763177

    Hi! When I stamp the PDF the links do not work. Any way to solve it?

    1. Shahjada

      Please update to the latest version.

  9. Juan Jesús Pavón

    Hi,
    is compatible the last version with php 7.3.21?
    Thanks

  10. Erick

    Purchased the PDF Stamper and uploaded the zip file via the plugin add- then activated the plugin. Now, I cannot see the the plugin in my WordPress dashboard. I can find it under plugins but there are no additional setting links, etc associated with it.

    Any ideas?

    1. Shahriar

      Have your installed the Download Manager? PDF Stamper is an add-on of Download Manager.

      1. Erick

        Ah, got it. Thanks!
        Also, how do I get the watermark to show on my PDF document? Everything is installed and seems to be working properly from what I can see.

  11. Brian Grinter

    Have purchase this add-on and it generally works well, however I notice it does not work with packages that contain multiple files as a zip. Is this possible?

    Regards
    Brian

    1. Shahjada

      PDF stamper will work for only individual PDF attachment, not for zipped PDF files. When you have multiple pdf files with a package, and needs to be stamped, please use only [file_list] tag with thw page template, and skip [download_link] tag.

  12. Mirko

    Hello,

    does it requires Woocommerce or a buy process or does it simply apply watermark to .pdfs downloads created with Download Manager with users account details?

    Thank you

    1. Shahjada

      None of the items at http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com have any dependency on Woocommerce. PDF Stamper is also developed specially for download manager files. Yes, It will apply a watermark to .pdfs downloads created with Download Manager and you can control the watermark text from settings page..

  13. Chelsea Schonhaut

    In the documentation it says it “is specially developed for WordPress Download Manager” — is this a plugin, or just the generic WordPress download management tool?

    I’m wondering if this plugin would be compatible with the “PDF Viewer for WordPress” plugin

    If it isn’t compatible – do you know of any PDF viewers/managers that *would* be compatible with this plugin?

    Thanks

    1. Shahriar

      PDF Stamper is an add-on for WordPress Download Manager Pro. We have a PDF viewer add-on too https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wordpress-pdf-viewer/ which works with PDF Stamper.

  14. Filip Pusca

    Good day, i am thinking to update my PHP version to 7 and i run a plugin checker to see the compatibility of installed plugins.
    So it detected this WPDM – PDF Stamper – Warnings: 1 Errors: 2
    Is it safe to update does it will still work normal?

    1. Shaon

      Please post the php7 errors in forum http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/forum/download-manager-pro/ , we shall check and let you know.

    Hi
    Just updated to the lates version expecting to get stamping for zip files as promised months ago. BUT, it still doesn’t do it!
    Is it ever gonna happen?
    Thanks

  17. ozone

    Hello,
    in your demo (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/wordpress-download-manager-pro-demo/) I can’t find any option to enable pdf protections or encryption.
    I downloaded the file from https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/addons/download/pdf-stamping/ and I was able to print and edit the file, so the file protection or encryption is not automatic.

    Can I have more informations about this?
    Thank you, best regards

    1. Shaon

      It requires to enable encryption from package settings:
      PDF Stamper

      1. ozone

        Ok, I see.
        So is a per-package setting, not a global one.
        Thank you!

  18. Filip Pusca

    Hi, have some questions before buy this add-on.
    1st. Does it work with free version of download manager?
    2nd. Where are the security settings to encrypt the PDF files?
    3rd. Is the download-manager-files folder secure to store files?
    4th. Is it possible to add opacity to text watermark in the plugin codes?

    1. Shaon

      #1. Yes.
      #2. All you need to do with setup explained above in the description.
      #3. Yes, they are protected
      #4. You can set “Watermark Transparency” level for image based stamp

  19. piersmcleish

    I came across this plugin as a result of needing this functionality to add to my site built on Easy Digital Downloads. Is this still compatible with EDD?

    1. Shahriar

      Sorry, it will not work with your plugin, this plugin is for WordPress Download Manager and Premium Package ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/premium-package-wordpress-digital-store-solution/ )

  20. autozak

    Also, is there a way to try all the features of this plug-in out first before purchase? Not all the features are available on your demo website. Also, your Dropbox and Amazon links don’t work on your demo website (admin area). Thanks.

  21. autozak

    Questions >

    1) Can this plugin stamp if the file is delivered from Dropbox or Amazon?

    2) Can I use a 3d party product to restrict access to the page on which the download link appears?

    3) Are you using liquid templating for the PDF stamper?

    1. Shahriar

      1) Sorry, stamping will not work with remote files, as files need to be stored in the same server to customize it.
      2) You won’t need to use 3rd part plugin, wpdm pro has roles based and other kinds of protections you need to apply
      3) No

  22. services

    Could you provide a sample image of a stamped document please?

  23. tbarto002

    Hi Shaon – Recommendation – Consider adding this to the next update of the PDF plugin. It would be very useful to anyone who needs to watermark the document with a time/datestamp in the event they are not “purchasing” the PDF, but just downloading it and want it to be marked with the download date.

    $arr[‘{today}’] = ”;
    $arr[‘{today}’] = $blogtime = current_time( ‘mysql’ );
    —————————————————
    {today} – The date of the PDF download- free

    Thanks

  24. richardwing

    Does the store owner get access to set up how their products would get stamped?

    1. Shaon

      Only marketplace owners, the message is mostly generic.
