Il PDF Stamping è un metodo brillante per impedire ai vostri clienti di condividere i download digitali con altri. Naturalmente funziona solo sui file PDF, ma qui potete trovare maggiori informazioni su come impedire ai clienti di condividere altri tipi di download digitali.

Below is a video showing a stamped and locked PDF so the customer cannot remove their personal details. Preventing them from sharing the PDF with others because their identity is attached.

What do I need?

Di quale piano ho bisogno per questa funzione?

Risoluzione dei problemi

Se avete configurato la timbratura PDF ma state riscontrando dei problemi, consultate la nostra guida alla risoluzione dei problemi di PDF Stamp.

Limitation of 100MB to use PDF Stamping

Please note that there is a maximum file size of 100MB to use PDF Stamping. If you want to compress your PDFs, you can do this here on Adobe’s PDF Compression page.

It will be able to compress your PDF to less than 100MB while maintaining the quality. Adobe invented PDFs, so this service is the best you can get.

If you did compress your PDF, you could use the ‘Replace asset‘ button to replace the PDF. This will replace the current PDF, so you don’t need to do anything else. You will be asked if you want to inform customers of an updated file, but that’s up to you to say Yes or No.

The variables you can use

Our PDF Stamp allows you to place multiple dynamic variables, such as:

  • Customer’s email – {{email}}
  • Customer’s full name – {{name}}
  • Order number – {{orderNumber}}
  • Order date – {{orderDate}}
  • Order expiry date – {{orderExpiry}}

Customer’s email

The customer’s email address will be used on the PDF stamp if you use this variable.

Customer’s full name

The customer’s full name will be included on the PDF stamp if you use this variable.

Order number

The order number that is given to the customer.

Order date

The order date is straightforward. This is the date that the customer placed the order.

Order expiry date

The order expiry date is when the order’s downloads will expire. You can set this date by going to the limitations page and setting how many days it takes for the order to expire. Go to Settings > Limitations > add an Order expiry.
