Hello,

We are using Aspose PDF version 22.6 for JAVA and we apply a stamp to all the incoming document. However, we have a requirement to overwrite the previous stamp in some cases and if the new stamp length is shorter than the one that is already on the document, we can see a part of the old stamp. Upon looking at your website we see an option to replace stamp by id but we are not creating any id when we apply stamp. Are there any alternate options to achieve the same? We would want to make the entire area blank and then apply the new stamp or add a plain white stamp that could eliminate the previous text.

Attached the code and documents for your reference.
TestDoc.pdf - Original document without any stamp
TestDocWithFirstStamp.pdf​ - After applying the first stamp​
TestDocWithReStamp.pdf​ - After reapplying a new stamp. The word “Confidential” in the first stamp was replaced with “Test”. You can see part of the previous stamp

Thanks,
B

For the case of adding TextStamp to a document without ID - it will be placed as regular text after saving. There is no such instance as TextStamp in the pdf standard, this abstraction was created for the convenient editing of a pdf document.

The following code can be used to clear the area and to make the desired area blank.

Use it to prepare the initial document with an old stamp for example for page 1.

Document pdfDocument = new Document(name);
Page page = pdfDocument.getPages().get_Item(1);
Rectangle rect = page.getMediaBox();
double width = rect.getWidth();
double height = rect.getHeight();
int heightOfArea = 20;
RedactionAnnotation annotation = new RedactionAnnotation(page, new Rectangle(0,height, width, height- heightOfArea));
annotation.setFillColor(Color.getWhite());
annotation.setColor(Color.getWhite());
page.getAnnotations().add(annotation);
annotation.redact();
