dynamic stamps

[arielzusya]

As an attorney I routinely submit electronic documents, in PDF form, as exhibits. Each exhibit must have a label on it listing certain unique identifying details associated with the particular case (for example, the third defense exhibit to a motion in a criminal case where Smith is the name of the defendant would need a Defense Exhibit sticker with three lines of dynamic text beneath it that say something like:

People v. Smith
26CR1234
Exhibit C

and so on for each subsequent exhibit: D, E, F, etc.)

I created a dynamic set of stamps for Adobe Acrobat Pro that allows me to enter the content for each of the three lines before placing the stamp on the page and then flattening the page to incorporate the stamp. (Instructions for creating those stamps can be found on the adobe website here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/create-custom-dynamicstamp.html.) Essentially, Adobe allows the use of mini forms as stamps with one stamp on each page of a pdf and then one saves that pdf into acrobat's stamps folder to use as dynamic stamps.

I am so ready to dump Adobe and move to stirling, but I'd really like that functionality of those dynamic stamps I created. Ideally it would be great to just use the same PDF full of stamp templates I now use in acrobat (that PDF with a single, dynamic stamp on each page stored in Acrobat's stamps folder), but in stirling. Short of that, I'd like some mechanism to create similar dynamic stamps in stirling.

I looked around both in pull requests and in discussion and didn't see someone else talking about this--so apologies if I missed it.
