A dynamic PDF stamp usually consists of some dynamic information, such as system date, time, and company information. This article will introduce how to add a dynamic rubber stamp to PDF by using Free Spire.PDF for Java.
Import jar dependency (2 Method)
● Download the Free Spire.PDF for Java and unzip it. Then add the Spire.Pdf.jar file to your project as dependency.
● Directly add the jar dependency to maven project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.
