Specify Cover Page Tips

Adding files

• Full, OS-specific paths must be used in all cases. AppendPDF DE will automatically use the correctly formatted, full path when you add files. If you use a pre-existing XML parameter file, make sure it specifies full path names. On Windows, you cannot type in the file name.
• Drag files onto the File Name and Stamp File fields in the AppendPDF DE Cover Page pane.

Stamp files

• A stamp is a piece of text or an image that is placed in your document, as if it is “stamped” onto the page. Text or images added by stamping become a permanent part of the document. A stamp file is a text file you create that specifies how AppendPDF DE applies stamps. For information on creating stamp files, refer to our StampPDF Batch documentation. The stamp file specified in the Cover Page pane only applies to the Cover Page of the document. It does not apply to the body of the document or the Table of Contents.
