PDF Stamping

PDF stamping is a popular way to discourage people from sharing e-books widely, by adding a text such as Prepared exclusively for on to the bottom of each page in the PDF file.

1. Select the gear icon from your Simplero Dashboard to go to your Settings

2. Select the Products tab

3. Scroll down to the PDF stamping section

4. In the PDF stamp text area, customise the text you want to be stamped on each page of your PDF files to discourage copying

5. Scroll down to the bottom and click the Save changes button
