Hi all Thought I'd just share this with you. I've been messing with a "simple" project for weeks, all the customer wants to do is stamp a pdf with the name of the person it has been given to. You would not believe how much hassle this has been I've just found a tool called pdftk which is a command line exe for pdf. http://www.accesspdf.com/index.php?topic=pdftk
* Merge PDF Documents * Split PDF Pages into a New Document * Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required) * Encrypt Output as Desired * Fill PDF Forms with FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms * Apply a Background Watermark * Report on PDF Metrics such as Metadata, Bookmarks, and Page Labels * Update PDF Metadata * Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document * Unpack PDF Attachments * Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages * Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams * Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible) Pdftk allows manipulate PDF easily and freely. It does not require Acrobat, and it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Solaris. Looking at this all I need to do is copy the existing pdf to a temporary file Create a pdf with the watermark Run pdtk tempname.pdf background stamp.pdf output newfile.pdf Send the file Delete the temps How cool is that! ps not affiliated in any way shape of form with the author either...!!
