, when a batch of PDF needs to add a review chapter, a pass chapter or an archive chapter on the last page, the operation efficiency of opening the files one by one is very low. This article describes how to pass HeSoft Doc Batch Tool Add stamp function to the PDF of, import multiple PDF at a time, set the processing range to the last 1 page, and select the stamp picture and fixed position to realize the unified stamp on the last page of multiple PDF.
When dealing with PDF files in the office, we often encounter a seemingly simple but time-consuming task: a batch of PDF documents have already completed the content confirmation, and now only need to cover a chapter on the last page of each document. For example, training materials need to be added with "PASSED" chapter, approval documents need to be added with "reviewed" chapter, and contract attachments need to be added with filing chapter. If there are a large number of files, manual processing will repeatedly open, turn pages, insert stamps, and save, which is slow and easy to miss a file.
This article describes the practice of using office software" HeSoft Doc Batch Tool "Complete PDF batch stamping. Its core value is to process documents in batches, reduce duplication of effort and improve document processing efficiency. Through the "PDF add stamp" function, we can add multiple PDF to the task list at one time, and specify that only the last page of each PDF is processed, thus realizing the unified addition of multiple PDF last pages.
Applicable scenario: batch last page stamp suitable for which office tasks
"Only stamp the last page of the PDF" is very common in actual work. It usually appears in scenarios where the document has been finalized and only needs to be marked with a status. For example, the teacher added a pass mark to the last page of the PDF workbook in batches. The enterprise adds a review stamp to multiple approved PDFs; When the project is delivered, add a confirmation stamp to the last page of the acceptance data; File management personnel add filing marks to the sorted PDF documents.
This type of task has several things in common: first, the number of files is usually more than one; second, the processing rules are completely consistent; third, the target page is the last page, not all pages; fourth, the stamp location needs to be as unified as possible. As long as these characteristics are met, it is very suitable for the use of batch processing tools to complete.
If the source file comes from Word, doc, docx, Excel or scanned documents, it is recommended to organize it into PDF format before adding stamps. The PDF format is more suitable for retaining the layout, and the visual effect after processing is more stable.
Effect Preview: Never Stamped PDF to Last Page Uniform Stamping
BeforeProcessing: Folder Has Multiple PDFs to Be Processed
the screenshot before processing shows that there are currently 4 PDF files, named 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, and 4.pdf respectively. They are the objects of this batch processing. For real office scenarios, the number may be more, but the processing logic is the same.
open one of the PDF to view the contents of the last page, and you can see that there is no stamp in the lower right area of the page. The position of the arrow mark is near the position where the stamp will be added later. At this time, if you manually operate file by file, you need to repeat the same action for each PDF.
After processing: the last page appears unified stamp
after the batch processing is completed, check the last page of the PDF again. A green "PASSED" stamp has appeared at the bottom right of the page. The stamp is not added to all pages, but appears on the last page, which is exactly what this article is trying to achieve.
Operation steps: batch to multiple PDF last page add stamp
step 1: open PDF tool in the "PDF add stamp"
start HeSoft Doc Batch Tool Then, select PDF Tools in the left navigation bar ". The right-side ribbon displays multiple PDF-related functions, such as PDF encryption, page deletion, watermark addition, and format conversion. This time I want to use "Add Stamp to PDF".
in the screenshot, the "PDF Add Stamp" card is marked to indicate that it is used to add stamps to PDF in batches. After selecting this function, the software enters a special task flow page. It is very important to choose the correct function, because "stamp" is more inclined to seal, audit chapter and status chapter, rather than ordinary text watermark.
Step 2: Import all need to stamp the PDF
after entering the function page, the first step is to "select the records to be processed". At the top, there are buttons such as "Add File", "Import File from Folder", "Empty", etc. For scattered files, you can use Add Files; if all PDFs are in the same directory, it is more time-saving to use Import Files from Folder.
the task list in the screenshot has added 4 records, corresponding to 4 PDF files respectively. The file name, path, extension, creation time, and modification time are displayed in the table. The purpose of this list is to allow users to check before formal processing, avoid adding PDFs that do not need to be processed to tasks, and avoid missing documents that should be processed.
After confirming that there are no problems with the file list, click "Next" at the bottom ". If you find a file addition error, you can delete a file through the action column, or use "empty" to re-select.
Step 3: Set the processing range to "the last few pages"
next, go to "Set Processing Options". In Scope of Processing, the interface provides several options, including all pages, first few pages, last few pages, odd pages, even pages, and custom. Because only the last page of each PDF needs to be stamped this time, the "last few pages" should be selected ".
after selecting this option, fill in 1 in the "Range" input box. The meaning of this setting is that each PDF only processes 1 page from the end to the front, that is, the last page. It is more reliable than entering fixed page numbers, because the number of pages may vary from PDF to PDF, and fixed page numbers cannot accurately represent the last page of all documents.
Step 4: Select Common Stamp and Import Stamp Picture
in the "Seal Type" area, select "Normal" in the screenshot ". Then click "Select File" in the "Seal Picture" area to import the stamp picture to be covered on the PDF. The screenshot shows "1 file selected", indicating that the stamp material has been loaded.
The stamp picture can be a company stamp, an audit stamp, a pass stamp, or other status identification. In order to obtain a better display effect, it is recommended to use a picture with higher definition and clean edges. The size of the stamp picture will also affect the final effect. If the picture is too large or too small, you can adjust the zoom in the subsequent effect settings.
Step 5: Set the stamp position to ensure that the stamp is unified
.In the "Location" area, the screenshot shows that "Fixed Location" is selected, and the lower right corner position is selected in the nine squares. Fixed position is suitable for batch processing, because it can ensure that each PDF is in accordance with the same rules, to avoid manual drag caused by position deviation.
If there is a signature column, page number or important text in the lower right corner of the last page of your PDF, you need to test whether the stamp obscures the content first. For PDFs with large differences in content layout, the position can also be adjusted according to actual needs. The post-processing effect in the screenshot shows that the stamp is located in the lower area of the page and is more eye-catching as a whole.
Step 6: according to the need to adjust the stamp effect
on the right side of the screenshot, you can see the "Effect" setting area, including options such as rotation angle, cropping edge blank, opacity, zoom-out or zoom-in, etc. For ordinary office stamps, it is usually necessary to focus on stamp size and transparency. If the stamp is too large, it may block the text, while if it is too small, it is not obvious enough. If the transparency is too low, it may not be clear, while if it is too high, it may affect reading.
If your stamp picture has extra white edges, you can pay attention to the settings related to the blank of the cropping edge. If you want the stamp to show an oblique stamp effect, you can use the rotation angle. In actual processing, it is recommended to test the effect with one or two PDF before applying it to all documents in batch.
Step 7: Set the save location and start processing
when you have finished setting the processing options, continue to click Next ". In the interface process, there are "Set Save Location" and "Start Processing". It is recommended to save the output file to a new folder instead of mixing it directly in the original PDF directory, which is more convenient to compare the effects before and after processing and can also keep the original file as a backup.
When processing begins, the software processes the PDFs one by one according to the task list, adding the selected stamp to the last page of each PDF. After the processing is completed, open the output file to check the last page to confirm whether the batch stamping is successful.
frequently asked questions and precautions
of1. batch stamp will change the pdf other pages?
according to the settings in this article, the processing range is "the last few pages" and the range is 1, so the target is the last page of each PDF. Other pages will not be added as a range for this stamp.
2. If the PDF pages are different, can you accurately cover the last page?
you can. Select "the last few pages" and fill in 1. The software will calculate the last page for each PDF instead of using a unified fixed page number, so it is suitable for PDF files with different pages.
3. stamp pictures should be prepared in advance into what?
it is recommended to prepare clear, clean edges and clear stamp pictures. Common uses include "PASSED", "audited", "archived", etc. If the picture itself is blurred, it will also affect the reading and visual effect after being added to the PDF.
4. Why is it recommended to test a small number of files first?
page margins and content areas may vary from PDF to PDF. Test a small number of files first to confirm whether the stamp position, size and transparency are appropriate, and then batch process all PDF to reduce rework.
