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

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!

Does this work with Clickbank?

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

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?

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.

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?

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

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?
#20 by admin on June 29, 2010 - 10:55 pm
@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:
http://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).

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.

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

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!

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”:
http://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.
#26 by Peter on July 25, 2010 - 10:29 am
Does this work for password secured PDFs (ie. locked PDFs)?
#27 by Ivy on July 25, 2010 - 10:20 pm
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.
#28 by Graham on July 26, 2010 - 12:06 pm
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?
#29 by admin on July 27, 2010 - 11:22 pm
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.
#30 by Nancy on August 6, 2010 - 7:17 pm
Do you know if this works with Zen cart? Or do you know of a product which does work with zen cart?
#31 by admin on August 6, 2010 - 11:27 pm
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:

#32 by Sandra on August 16, 2010 - 6:58 am
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?
#33 by Ivy on August 16, 2010 - 10:57 pm
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.

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!
