This stamp places an image on top of the contents of the page. Select the file icon to browse to your desired image. It is recommended the image be a PNG, but a JPEG can also be selected. PDF Image Printer has support for alpha channels, so the PNG image can be transparent. If PDF Image Printer cannot find the selected image when creating the output file, no image stamp will be added to your output file.
For advanced users and programmers automating the printer, environment variables and registry keys can be used to specify all or part of the path to the stamping image, as explained in Using Environment Variables and Registry Keys.
A folder named Images has been provided in the product installation folder. Any images used for stamping can be placed here. When using an image from this folder, the location of the image command is stored in the profile using a macro. This allows the image and profile to be deployed and to work on any computer, no matter where the product is installed.
Adjust image width on page and image height on page as desired. The image size set should either match the dimensions of the image or at least maintain the aspect ratio. By default, image width on page and image height on page are set to 1.0000 inch or 2.5400 cm.
