PTStamper

@interface PTStamper : NSObject

Stamper is a utility class that can be used to stamp PDF pages with text, images, or vector art (including another PDF page) in only a few lines of code.

Although Stamper is very simple to use compared to ElementBuilder/ElementWriter it is not as powerful or flexible. In case you need full control over PDF creation use ElementBuilder/ElementWriter to add new content to existing PDF pages as shown in the ElementBuilder sample project.

  • Stamper constructor

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (instancetype)initWithSize_type:(PTSizeType)size_type a:(double)a b:(double)b;

    Swift

    init!(size_type: PTSizeType, a: Double, b: Double)

    Parameters

    size_type

    Specifies how the stamp will be sized -e_relative_scale: Stamp size is relative to the size of the crop box of the destination page. ‘a’ is a percentage of the width of the crop box (e.g.: 0.5 is 50% of the width of the crop box) ‘b’ is a percentage of the height of the crop box. If ‘a’ <= 0 then only b will be used. If ‘b’ <= 0 then only ‘a’ will be used.

    -e_absolute_scale: Stamp size is explicitly set. 'a' sets the width of
of the stamp's bounding box. 'b' sets the height of the stamp's bounding
box. The width and height are constant, regardless of the size of the
destination page's bounding box.

-e_font_size: This type only applies to text stamps. 'a' sets the font
size. 'b' is ignored.
