All Implemented Interfaces:

PdfEncryptionSettings, PdfViewerPreferences

Direct Known Subclasses:

PdfAStamper
```
public class PdfStamper
extends Object
implements PdfViewerPreferences, PdfEncryptionSettings
```
Applies extra content to the pages of a PDF document. This extra content can be all the objects allowed in PdfContentByte including pages from other Pdfs. The original PDF will keep all the interactive elements including bookmarks, links and form fields.
It is also possible to change the field values and to flatten them. New fields can be added but not flattened.

- Method Detail
  - getMoreInfo
```
public Map<String,String> getMoreInfo()
```
    Gets the optional String map to add or change values in the info dictionary.
    
    Returns:
    
    the map or null
  - setMoreInfo
```
public void setMoreInfo(Map<String,String> moreInfo)
```

    Parameters:
    
    moreInfo - additional entries to the info dictionary
  - replacePage
```
public void replacePage(PdfReader r,
                        int pageImported,
                        int pageReplaced)
```
    Replaces a page from this document with a page from other document. Only the content is replaced not the fields and annotations. This method must be called before getOverContent() or getUndercontent() are called for the same page.
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - the PdfReader from where the new page will be imported
    
    pageImported - the page number of the imported page
    
    pageReplaced - the page to replace in this document
    
    Since:
    
    iText 2.1.1
  - insertPage
```
public void insertPage(int pageNumber,
                       Rectangle mediabox)
```
    Inserts a blank page. All the pages above and including pageNumber will be shifted up. If pageNumber is bigger than the total number of pages the new page will be the last one.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pageNumber - the page number position where the new page will be inserted
    
    mediabox - the size of the new page
  - getSignatureAppearance
```
public PdfSignatureAppearance getSignatureAppearance()
```
    Gets the signing instance. The appearances and other parameters can the be set.
    
    Returns:
    
    the signing instance
  - getXmlSignatureAppearance
```
public XmlSignatureAppearance getXmlSignatureAppearance()
```
    Gets the xml signing instance. The appearances and other parameters can the be set.
    
    Returns:
    
    the xml signing instance
  - flush
```
public void flush()
```
    Causes any pending changes to the direct under/over content (e.g. stamps) and page replacements to be applied to the output PDF. References to the adjusted content are released. If very large numbers of pages are being modified, call this method periodically to write the changes to the output PDF file and release the stamps from the heap. A few precautions about using this method: 1) After using flush() method, over/under content objects should be updated via getOverContent() or getUnderContent() calls respectively in case you want to make any further stamps to the same page; 2) PdfReader, that is associated with PdfStamper which is flushed, must not be used for any other purposes. This is due to the fact that after flush some new references in PdfReader's inner structure appear, but you won't be able to get actual objects behind those references.
  - close
```
public void close()
           throws DocumentException,
                  IOException
```
    Closes the document. No more content can be written after the document is closed.
    If closing a signed document with an external signature the closing must be done in the PdfSignatureAppearance instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    DocumentException - on error
    
    IOException - on error
  - getUnderContent
```
public PdfContentByte getUnderContent(int pageNum)

                                         char pdfVersion,
                                         File tempFile,

                                         IOException
```
    Applies a digital signature to a document, possibly as a new revision, making possible multiple signatures. The returned PdfStamper can be used normally as the signature is only applied when closing.
    A possible use for adding a signature without invalidating an existing one is:
```
 KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");
 ks.load(new FileInputStream("my_private_key.pfx"), "my_password".toCharArray());
 String alias = (String)ks.aliases().nextElement();
 PrivateKey key = (PrivateKey)ks.getKey(alias, "my_password".toCharArray());
 Certificate[] chain = ks.getCertificateChain(alias);
 PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("original.pdf");
 FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("signed.pdf");
 PdfStamper stp = PdfStamper.createSignature(reader, fout, '\0', new
 File("/temp"), true);
 PdfSignatureAppearance sap = stp.getSignatureAppearance();
 sap.setCrypto(key, chain, null, PdfSignatureAppearance.WINCER_SIGNED);
 sap.setReason("I'm the author");
 sap.setLocation("Lisbon");
 // comment next line to have an invisible signature
 sap.setVisibleSignature(new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200), 1, null);
 stp.close();
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    reader - the original document
    
    os - the output stream or null to keep the document in the temporary file
    
    pdfVersion - the new pdf version or '\0' to keep the same version as the original document
    
    tempFile - location of the temporary file. If it's a directory a temporary file will be created there. If it's a file it will be used directly. The file will be deleted on exit unless os is null. In that case the document can be retrieved directly from the temporary file. If it's null no temporary file will be created and memory will be used
    
    append - if true the signature and all the other content will be added as a new revision thus not invalidating existing signatures
    
    Returns:
    
    a PdfStamper
    
    Throws:
    
    DocumentException - on error
    
    IOException - on error
