PDF Stamper – Accessing Variables

[jrose801]

I’m not quite understanding how access and use variables with PDF stamper. Are the variables only available with eStore integration?

I just need a simple implementation of the stamper to use, where the customer and download a variety of PDFs on a page that are stamped with meta-data contained from fields in their user profile.

For example, John doe is a registered and logged in user. (registering a user with wp esignature and gravity forms due to requiring users to sign an NDA) His profile contains meta-data collected from the registration process for his first and last name, his email address, and his company name {company_name). He visits a page and can download a pdf, which will be stamped with his full name and company name on the pdf he downloaded.

Is this possible to do this and use the pdf stamper plugin without the implementation of eStore or any other add-ons and/or applications? I tried using the shortcode “PDF Stamper – Creating a Download Now Button for WP Users” to display a download button, but the browser just displays it as text.

Yes… if you are proficient with PHP programming:

So, unless you integrate one of the other add-ons with stamper, you can only manual stamp, and it’s only the additional add-ons like, eStore, that stamp and create those dynamic watermarks with the variables?

That is not true.

You can integrate the plugin with whatever you want. If you want to use “just the PDF Stamper” plugin with WordPress, you must follow the earlier referenced instructions, and integrate the PDF Stamper into whatever you are trying to do.

Because you talk about using Gravity forms; the assumption is that you have some idea of how to do PHP programming.

I can look at possibly modifying it, but I am not a PHP developer. I looked through the link sent above, and understand the concept of what is required, but I guess I just don’t understand what is triggering the creation when a visitor wants to access/download the stamped file, even if the stamper script is customized to pull in the user’s standard wordpress profile data. Could you explain or point me to somewhere that explains that. Thanks.

PDF stamper plugin has a shortcode that can be used to embed a download button which will stamp the file with WP user’s name and email. The following documentation explains how this works:

The requirement you have is of custom nature so you will need to get some customization done to fit your particular setup. If you are a developer yourself, then you can read our API documentation and do the coding. If not, you need to hire a WordPress developer who can customize it according to your needs. You can hire us to customize it for you also:
