PDF editor: stamps and symbols like check mark, cross or "Sign here

[ribsa3]

I love PDF24 as a free replacement to Adobe Acrobat, however there are some shortcomings;

Specifically, I would like to be able to easily add custom shapes (stamps) and objects to the Edit/Annotation tool(s), but as far as I've found so far, this is not currently possible. As examples, symbols like ❌, ✅, ❔ and predefined "sign here" or "account:" stamp-like shapes would be great to easily apply.

As far as the unicode symbols I used as examples above, yes; I could just use a textbox and add those, but it is inconvenient when several need to be added.

Is there any hope to see something like this in the near future? Also; I am focused on the on-prem tool, not the online version, but I feel this could benefit both versions.

Thank you for reading and considering!

Of course, we have a lot of TODO items and we regularly bring improvements to the software.

Thank you for responding, Stefan. I am very happy with the work you are doing!

Hello,

a short update on your question: the online editor now has a "Stamp" tool: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/edit-pdf

• "Standard" contains ready-made stamps, e.g. "Sign Here" and "Initial Here".
• "Symbols" contains a check mark, a cross, both also in a circle, a star, an arrow and a warning sign.
• Under "My stamps" you can create your own text stamps, e.g. "Account:", and reuse them.

In the desktop Toolbox ("Edit PDF") these stamps are not available yet. Thank you for the suggestion, we will add it to our list.
