MemberFrom what I gather from https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/file-name, each stamped file has an unique ID associated to it (i.e. Veggie-Bouquet_4e508b530351e.pdf).
Is it possible to get that unique ID stamped in the PDF instead of the customer details?
EDIT: I’m using it in conjuction with WP eStore.

KeymasterAn unique ID (generated randomly) is appended to the file name to make sure if another customer purchase the same item it won’t cause an error (for example: file already exists). However, this ID is generated randomly so I am not sure if this is a good idea to just stamp a random ID. A better option could be to stamp the “Transaction ID” of the purchase (each purchase via PayPal gets a unique transaction ID that can be used to uniquely identify that transaction)?

MemberHey,
Yes, the Transaction ID would be better choice. Thank you for suggesting it.
How difficult would it be to get it implemented?

KeymasterNot too difficult (probably take an hour and half in terms of time). You can contact us using the contact form on the site if you want to get this custom developed.

SpectatorJust want to add my 2 cents – I would much prefer this solution as well. Some of my products are NSFW and I know customers do not want to see their personal details stamped on every page.
Also, while only a few bad apples might pirate the works, this solution penalizes the other 99.5% of law-abiding buyers. As a customer, seeing your email address on the file is like getting a message saying “I don’t trust you” stamped across every page. I don’t want to send that kind of message.
BTW I haven’t bought pdf stamper for this reason but if you make this change I will definitely buy it.

SpectatorSorry, one other thought. I do comics, which often have artwork that extend out to the edge of each page. Is it possible to have some kind of “virtual stamp” that doesn’t actually cover the artwork?

KeymasterJust added the option to stamp the unique transaction ID in the PDF file. You can now use the following tag in the “Footer Text” field to stamp the transaction ID to the PDF file:
{transaction_id}
