Class AnnotationStamp

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable
    public final class AnnotationStamp
extends PDFAnnotation
    A "Rubber-Stamp" annotation, which can also contain a longer message in an associated pop-up window. A number of predefined rubber stamps exist, or for custom stamps they can be created from a PDFCanvas object. For example, to add a rubber stamp to page, try something like this: 
       AnnotationStamp stamp = new AnnotationStamp("stamp.standard.Approved", 1);
   float x = page.getWidth()/2;
   float y = page.getHeight()/2;
   float w = stamp.getRecommendedWidth();
   float h = stamp.getRecommendedHeight();

   stamp.setRectangle(x-(w/2), y-(h/2), x+(w/2), y+(h/2));
   page.addAnnotation(stamp);

      • rebuild

        public void rebuild()
        Description copied from class: PDFAnnotation
        Rebuild the annotation's appearance. This will be done automatically when required, usually just before saving the PDF or rasterizing it to a bitmap. However this method can be called explicitly if necessary, usually to ensure the rebuild (which may fire a PropertyChangeEvent) is run on a specific thread.
        Overrides:
        rebuild in class PDFAnnotation

      • setCanvas

        public void setCanvas​(String name,
                      PDFCanvas canvas)
        Set this stamp to use the specified canvas
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the stamp
        canvas - the canvas to use as the body of the stamp
        Since:
        2.11.6

      • getRotate

        public int getRotate()
        Get the rotation of this stamp, as set by setRotate(int)
        Since:
        2.11.7

      • setRotate

        public void setRotate​(int rotate)
        Set the rotation of the specified Stamp. We recommend the page and rectangle of the stamp are set before this method is called. Rotating an already rotated stamp will give the same broken results that you get in Acrobat, due to a specification fault.
        Parameters:
        rotate - the rotation in degrees clockwise;
        Since:
        2.11.7

      • getType

        public String getType()
        Returns the type of Stamp used. This will probably be a textual description of the contents of the stamp, but is not guaranteed to be.
        Overrides:
        getType in class PDFAnnotation

      • getRecommendedWidth

        public float getRecommendedWidth()
        Return the recommended width of this stamp

      • getRecommendedHeight

        public float getRecommendedHeight()
        Return the recommended height of this stamp

      • toString

        public String toString()

      • putLiteral

        public void putLiteral​(String key,
                       String tokens)
        Put a literal token sequnce. For debugging
        Parameters:
        key - the key
        tokens - the token sequence, eg "true" or "/foo" or "[/Foo/Bar]". No refs, just direct objects.
