Adding Stamps
Now ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0 allows you add stamps to PDF documents as if they were printed on paper. For example, you can
place the stamp "Approved" anywhere on a PDF page.
Stamps can only be added when converting to searchable PDF. If you add stamps in this mode and then switch to any other
conversion mode, the stamps will not appear.
To place a stamp on a PDF page:
1. Select the tool and place a stamp anywhere you need.
2. Double–click on the stamp.
3. In the window that appears, select the desired options:
● Stamp text
Type the text of the stamp here. Your stamps may contain the date and/or time of the stamp. For more information, see
Current Date and Time in Stamps and Bates Stamps.
● Font
Select font type, size, and color.
