Stamp rotates when resized

Post by gspence »

When placing a stamp using PDF- XChange Editor (Version 7.0) the stamp rotates when I resize the image.

Hello gspence,

The problem with this file comes from the fact that when creating the PDF,
the content was rotated, but it was not the elements that got rotated, instead the whole coordinate system was turned, and this causes some issues as in this case when you try to resize stamps.
This problem will not occur frequently, and only a handful of files will have this issue.


I have passed a similar problem to our devs for investigation, but in the mean time try to use this workaround:
After you resize your stamp grab the green pin at the top and use it to rotate the stamp back in the needed orientation:

You can hold down the Shift Key so that you do the rotation at predefined steps.

Kind Regards,
Dimitar

Got the exact same problem here. We do a real lot of stamps here per pages and the workaround is to much work. Hope you find a fix soon

Hello All,

I've just dug up the bug ticket for this issue and it seems it was reported quite some time ago. A developer is assigned to this, so I have raised the priority and requested a timeline for the fix.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
