2. Ivy says:

   Hi Jared, Yes you can have different size PDF pages and landscape.
3. Jared Zichek says:

   Does this plugin work with PDF files containing pages of various sizes? I want to sell a PDF with regular letter size (8.5″ x 11″) and legal size pages (8.5″ x 14″), the latter in landscape format. Thank you in advance for your response.

   @Graham, I haven’t used Digital Product Demon but Clickbank integration should be fine.
5. Graham says:

   Looks very cool. I’ve read the 3rd Party Integration guide, and wonder if you’ve integrated with Digital Product Demon and Clickbank before? Cheers, Graham

   Hi Erin, At this time this will only work for PDF files.
9. Ivy says:

   Hi Michael, The PDF Stamper has it’s own API so all you need to do is use one of the following integration options:

    What a *great* tool!

    Is there an EPUB version of this, too? Or is that a completely different “animal?” I’m thinking about EPUB books promoted through Amazon, iBooks, Stanza, etc.
11. Michael says:

    Will the WP PDF Stamper Plugin also integrate with WP eCommerce plugin? I’m running a e-shop using this, and would like to stamp the e-books/pdfs sold!
12. admin says:

    You can manually stamp any PDF file with any text from the admin dashboard.
13. Sandra says:

    Can you only use stamper for purchases? Sometimes I give away a pdf copy for marketing purposes, but I’d like to add a stamp to discourage people from sharing the free copy.

    Thanks,
    Sandra

    Any of the decent hosting companies should meet the requirement. I have a few recommendations on this page:

15. angie says:

    I’m not sure my hosting company meets the minimum requirements; still awaiting response from their support. I case they don’t can you recommend any hosting companies that do?
16. Graham says:

    Thank you so much for your hard work on this! Our company was in the middle of a website that desperately needed this ability. This was EXACTLY what we were discussing and y’all were already developing it when I found out about your website!

    GREAT WORK!
17. Sandra says:

    Thanks Ivy
18. Ivy says:

    Hi Sandra, You can adjust the location of the stamped information in the footer or you can also set the text you want stamped.

    Example:

    Business Name: Tips and Tricks short message: Business Website: http://www.yoursite.com Then the customers information you want stamped.
19. Sandra says:

    What if you have a line of information in your footer (website link, business name)…will the stamp appear over what I currently have in the footer or would I have to leave the footer blank for stamper to work properly?
20. admin says:

    The PDF stamper can be integrated with any shopping cart as long as you can use the API of the PDF Stamper from your post payment processing script:

    Do you know if this works with Zen cart? Or do you know of a product which does work with zen cart?
22. admin says:

    PayPal doesn’t allow you to make the business field mandatory. It will have to be custom coded so the visitor enters the business name when adding the product to the cart and then after the payment the plugin will use that info to stamp it. I have sent you an email to discuss this.
23. Graham says:

    We love this plugin, but I need some help.

    I’m not very familiar with PayPal and the whole checkout process.

    Is there a way to customize the checkout process with the ability to make certain fields required? I know y’all have added the BUSINESS field to the stamping process as an additional option, but I don’t see it during the actual PayPal checkout. I want to make this field required for customers (non-PayPal members and PayPal members alike). How can this be done?
24. Ivy says:

    Hi Peter, The PDF Stamper will not work with “Password Protected PDF” files. The PDF Stamper needs to be able to access the file to stamp it.
25. Peter says:

    Does this work for password secured PDFs (ie. locked PDFs)?
26. Ivy says:

    Hi MD, Yes you can customize the information you want stamped on the PDF.

    You can find a list of the variables/tags that you can use here under the section called “Footer Text Dynamic Variables”:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-pdf-stamper/how-to-configure-the-settings-menu-68

    The PDF is a single site license like the Affiliate and eMember plugin.
    The eStore and Infinity Remix theme are multi-site licenses that can be used on as many sites and you own and operate.
27. MD says:

    Hi,

    I was wondering if it is possible to customize how much of the customer’s information that is displayed in the footer. I think I might want to only display their name and e-mail address only.

    – I thought I could use this on all of my sites like your other plugins? Am I right? I would need to confirm this before purchasing.

    Thanks!
28. Kim Doyal - The WordPress Chick says:

    This is a GREAT plugin!!!
    Any chance of making a developer’s license available for this or a license allowing installation or use on more than once site?
    Great job….again!
    Thanks,
    Kim

    @David, Yes it will stamp all the items in the bundle given that they are PDF files.
30. David Martin says:

    If I have a bundle set up in WP Digital eCart as described in your eCart instructions that sends several items can PDF stamper stamp all of the items in the bundle.
31. admin says:

    @Mark, It depends on the system that you are going to use to handle the selling side of things.

    As far as this plugin is concerned it can be integrated so it works even when the request comes from another site (e.g a minisite). You just gotta be able to integrate it this way. The integration instruction can be found here:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-pdf-stamper/third-3rd-party-integration-guide-10

    So to sum it up.. all this plugin needs are few pieces of details and it will stamp the PDF file and give you the link of the stamped file. It doesn’t care where the request is coming from (your minisite or the mainsite).
32. Mark says:

    Yes this plugin does look very interesting.

    What I would like to know is, my plan is to create a central blog with a few sales page minisites branched off this central blog selling products like PDF’s and so on. So is it be possible to stamp these PDF’s from my sales pages, because this is actually the WP plugin and not residing on my ministes?

    The reason I want to do it this way is because I intend to list my sales pages in the click bank market place even though they are branched off from my central blog.

    Hope all that made sense?
33. Ivy says:

    Hi David, Yes updates are free. You can read how updates work here:

    Ivy
34. David Martin says:

    Hi again. you mentioned to my previous query that you plan updates to the plugin that will automatically delete versions of the ebooks that are created by the stamper. If I purchased the plugin would subsequent updates be free?
35. applicazioni iphone says:

    great plugin
    i was just looking for this
36. admin says:

    Hi David, yes it will be stored on your server. You can find a list of all these files in the “Manage Stamped Files” menu of this plugin.

    Form here you can manually bulk delete all the files every few weeks or so (e.g. delete all files older than 72 hours).

    I have plans to add an automatic file deletion scheduler whereby you can specify a time (e.g 72 hours) and the plugin will delete any stamped file that reaches the specified time.
37. David Martin says:

    Once an ebook is purchased is the stamped copy saved somewhere on the server. Would this not mean that I could end up with thousands of files on the server? How does it work?
38. admin says:

    @Vasopro, It can work with any payment gateway as long as you can do the integration explained here:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-pdf-stamper/third-3rd-party-integration-guide-10

    After the payment you most likely have a post payment script that gets executed and you just need to add some code to that post payment script which will interact with the PDF stamper and stamp the file for you.
39. Vasopro says:

    Does this work with Clickbank?
40. Peter says:

    I can’t believe how well this works. I have seen big companies stamp the footer of the PDF file with personal data but never thought that I would be able to get my hands on a solution like that!!!

    Thanks a ton for making this plugin and also making it affordable!
41. Edwin says:

    What a wonderful plugin!

    This is exactly what I need for my upcoming eBook.
    You guys rock! Always creating such useful and high quality plugins!
42. admin says:

    @Babs, glad to hear you like the plugin 🙂
43. Babs says:

    Very impressed and one to share with quite a few people I know who love writing ebooks.

    Another great plugin from you guys – thank you
44. admin says:

    @Emily, yeah you can customize it in the settings menu of the plugin.
45. Emily says:

    Can I customize the font color and style of the stamped text?
46. asif says:

    I have been looking for something like this for so long. Its a unique wordpress plugin in the market at the moment. I am going to use this plugin for my upcoming eBooks. Thanks for such a wonderful and useful plugin.
47. Umesh says:

    This will be very proactive decision for e-book writers. Everybody has to honor the knowledge.
48. admin says:

    @Darren, maybe you will use it for your upcoming eBook 🙂 How are your chickens doing btw?
49. flac to mp3 converter says:

    Very happy to see this pluign… been looking for something similar for my eBook site.
50. Darren (Green Change) says:

    Awesome, this looks like another must-have for eBook authors!

    I can’t see many people uploading your eBook to a BitTorrent site when their name and address is stamped across the bottom :-).
