✨ PDFSTAMP 💅

okay bestie, welcome to pdfstamp — that's <kbd>pdfstamp.plx</kbd> to its friends — a lil Perl script from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection that just... slaps text on your PDFs. every page. no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

pdfstamp.plx — adds the given text in a given fonts, size to all pages at given location 🦋

(it's giving "watermark but make it text". yes it does every single page. yes that's the whole point. periodt.)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the vibe is: you hand it an infile .pdf, you tell it where you want the text to go, what font, and how big — and it adds the given string there. that's it. that's the function. it doesn't overthink, it doesn't ask questions, it just stamps. 🔥

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

pdfstamp [-f font] [-l locx,locy] [-s size] infile string

okay so here's the full rundown of every flag, bestie, because we're not skipping a single one 💖

  • -f font — the font name, picked from the standard fonts. default is Helvetica because obviously she's the moment.
  • -l locx,locy — where the text lands, measured in points from the bottom left corner of the page. default is 0,0, so if you don't say anything, that's the bottom-left corner, babes.
  • -s size — the font size to print at. default is 11.
  • -t ttfile — a TrueType font file to use instead of -f. so if you've got a cute custom font file, this is your girl.
and yeah, the non-flag args matter too: <italic>infile</italic> comes first, then <italic>string</italic>. don't flip them, i'm begging. 🙈

and that's the whole entire page, you ate that 💅 go forth and stamp.
