👀 Heads-up: This opens the live editor where your changes will be previewed in real time.

🎨 Step 3: Customize the PDF Stamping Design

You'll see a preview panel on the left and an editing panel on the right. Use the editor to personalize your stamping details.

Here’s what you can customize:

• Text Size: Adjust the font size to make it bold or subtle.
• Text Color: Pick a color that matches your brand identity. (Hex codes supported!)
• Alignment: Choose whether the stamp appears left, center, or right aligned.
• Font: Select from available font styles to match your design.
• Page Size: Set to A4, Letter, or any standard format.
• Page Layout: Choose between Portrait or Landscape.
• Vertical Adjustment: Fine-tune the margin from the bottom (in pixels) to position your stamp perfectly.
• Pages to Stamp: Select specific pages (e.g., first page only, all pages, etc.)

✅ Pro Tip: Want to include a buyer's name or email? Use dynamic tags like this:

Below are the available stamping variables that can be replaced in stamping text.

• {order.receiver_email} for Receiver email - the customer email
• {order.id} for the order ID
• {order.date} for the order date
• {product.name} for the stamped product name

🔐 Step 4: Set PDF Access Permissions

Scroll to the PDF Options section in the same editor panel:

• ✅ Allow Printing: Toggle ON if you want customers to print the PDF.
• 🚫 Allow contents to be copied to clipboard:

Before you leave the editor:

1. Double-check your layout and permission settings.
2. Click the Save button at the bottom right of the editor.
