How to Stamp a PDF Document permanently

As an author about to release eBooks in the form of PDFs (I use Indesign to create), how can I stamp ever page of a PDF with the registered user's details and make that stamp permanent? I want to do it in batch mode so that I only have to literally drag and drop my master PDF documents into a field already set with the user's registered details for the stamp to appear at the top of every page in every PDF document dropped into the field.
I have tried VeryPDF's PDFStamper tool and it does this exactly but the stamp is not permanent as I was able to remove the stamps using another program (even when the stamped PDF was batch encrypted). I have not been able to find a batch encryption program that prevented me from removing the stamps. The PDFs can not be password protected as i want the end users to be able to open them like you would start a music file that has been paid for (ipod users don't enter a pw every time they play their music files). I have researched other commercial solutions but the PDF delivery is either restricted to proprietry delivery or very expensive (upwards of US2000) alternative software.
There must be a lot of authors like me wanting to do this but I have drawn blanks at every step trying to find a solution. I wrote to Adobe about this 5 years ago and never got a reply. I've waited thinking something worthwhile would come along but so far I can't find it.
Anyone got a solution? thank you for your time and help with this.

Hello,
I am equally interested in this as well. I attended a publishing conference and found out that piracy is pretty high, however just like any other theft if we can take preventative measures to make it more difficult than the less worries and that most people are genuinely honest. DRM's are very expensive and not security proof. Through my research I came across a shopping cart ejunkie.. they describe the stamping technique as well and how to include it in the shopping card URL to eliminate passwords, etc. I am totally a novice..
My questions if you don't mind are,
1) How does the stamping keep people from copying the content? Is this allowing them only the ability to use with a reader but unable to print and copy? I can't see too many people traveling in the same circle unafraid of using someone else's download with stamp or not.
2) I also want to ask you another question about using other services to download your ebook. Can you email me too at pj at nobrokenhome dot com. Thank you

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

Preview has limited PDF editing capability. You can get a lot more on:
http://www.pdfescape.com/
or with Wondershare's PDF Editor.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is the most expensive solution.
Since you posted under iMac PPC forum, which is for iMacs that can't run any operating system newer than August 28, 2009, I can't say specifically what the capabilities of your version of Preview are. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. If you have an Intel, you do not have a PPC. If you have a G5, G4 or G3, you posted to the right forum, and just need to find the version of Preview you have in Applications folder.

Ah ok,
then the only way I know is to get hold of some one with skills in Smart Forms, and alley up with them. Or better yet, use it as an excuse to learn to do it your self
With a Smart Form, you can parse data into it, create the file, and then use the GOS functionality to attatch it to your BO. All this in back ground!

How to include several PDF documents into just one file?

I have a Word document with 6 pages that I saved in PDF.
I wanted to transform the entire document in JPEG (JPG) immage, so that I could use it in other tools, such as Facebook for example.
The problem is that using Adobe Photoshop it opens and saves page by page.
Can you give me s solution or hint?

Thank you!
I already saved all pages as .pdf w/ Acrobat and have all 6 pages saved in
.jpg, using Photoshop.
Problem is that I want to post the whole text in my Facebook page, and to
have it in six pieces is not quite readable...
Thanks anyway and have a joyful Xmas!

How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

Hi,
I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter

The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets. They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe. Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format. Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document. Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page. This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs. It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another. Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange. If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages. If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF. Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.
