Does the store owner get access to set up how their products would get stamped?
Shaon
Only marketplace owners, the message is mostly generic.

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

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

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?
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
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.

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?
Shahriar

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
Shaon
It requires to enable encryption from package settings:

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

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

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