Output file name Specify the name of the output file. This name will be given to the template file after the file is processed and before it is passed to the next component.
Print on original image Select this check box to print a stamp on an input file instead of the template.
Input files In this combo box, select a mask of the input files which the component will stamp. You can select it from the list or specify your own value. The component provides the following predefined values for this combo box:
  • *.pdf,*.tif: this means that the component will try to stamp all input files of PDF (.pdf) or TIFF (.tif) format. This is the default value.
  • *.*: this means that the component will try to stamp any input files.

You can use the wildcard characters in this combo box. For example, *processed.tif will stamp all image files with TIFF format that have the 'processed' suffix; in the case, the following files will be processed: autumntlen_processed.tif, myprocessed.tif and just processed.tif.

You can specify a number of masks; in this case they should be delimited by a comma.
