JavaScript Text Box

Post by pjPDF »

Hello,
i want to add a TextBox to my document and format it, chance the text and position.

Hello, pjPDF

I assume you mean you wish to add a dynamic text field to the stamp, so that users can be prompted to type upon placement of the stamp? If so, that is possible, but will require some JavaScript knowledge. This article details the process:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... p-Creation
If instead you meant that you wish to place a stamp and have a new empty form field appear inside of it which can be edited after placement. I am afraid that this is not possible, All stamp content must be determined during placement, as it is flattened to be placed as a single object.
