How to remove/hide builtin stamps

Post by Anto »

Hi,

I would like to know how to remove the stamps that are included with the software. They are not in our language and no use to us as we will make our own.

I saw this code in another topic but don't understand where to execute it:

Code: Select all

long hiddenCnt = 0;
PDFXEdit.ICabNode pr = pdfCtl.Inst.Settings["StampsView.HiddenItems"];
foreach (PDFXEdit.IPXC_StampsCollection col in pxcInst.StampsManager)
{
    hiddenCnt++;
    if (hiddenCnt > 3) // to hide first 3 collections only, just for example
        break;

    string colID = col.ID;
    // colID - for all collections excepting built-in 'Standard' it contains full file name
    bool bAdd = true;
    for (int i = 0; i < pr.Count; i++)
    {
        if (pr[i].v == colID)
        {
            bAdd = false;
            break;
        }
    }
    if (bAdd)
        pr.Add().v = colID;
}
Thank you !

Hello, Anto

Our End user products do not offer a way to hide the built in stamps, you can collapse the categories and that effectively "hides" them as we remember the collapsed state of a collection.

The item you quoted below looks directed at our SDK products, which would require extensive developmental experience to be used correctly if they were still available, but unfortunately these products have been discontinued and are no longer for sale.

Thank you Daniel,

Then, could it be moved to feature request ?

With foxit reader / editor, you can remove the pdf containing the builtin stamps in the program folder to remove them from the GUI.

This same behavior would be much appreciated. :)

Hello, Anto

Don't worry, it already is a feature request, and one the team is aware of as we have a fair few other threads on our forums making the same suggestion. I have noted your support of that item, though I cannot promise a timeline for implementation.
