Stick on PDF Pages is a new command in version 4.0. It allows you to add pages of one PDF on top of another. We will discuss this in terms of the “source”, the pages which are to be added, and the “target”, the current document which will get the new additions.

You can add a single page from the source to a single page in the target. For example you can add a graphic, logo, advert, or other identification.

You could add a single page from the source to all pages, or a range of pages, in the target. For example you could add a stamp to each page.

You can add also add multiple pages from the source to multiple pages in the target. If the source pages run out, the source range is used again and again. If the target page pages run out, there is no error.

You choose the location to add pages with an offset relative to a corner, edge, or the centre. The offset is in the “natural” direction. For example from the bottom left hand corner, distances are measured to the right, and up. You can place a page dead centre by choosing centre and offsets of 0 and 0.

A red box appears on the target page to show you where the source will be placed.

Like Stick On Text and Numbers, you have an Apply, Close and Undo button. If a page is not added in the right place, you can immediately undo and try again.

Selecting a file (4.0)

You select a source file by going to the pull-down and choosing Browse. The list will contain the files you have most recently used, to save time. Next to the file name is an “i” icon. Click this to see a summary of the page sizes and page count in the source.

You may need to choose a specific page or range of pages in the source, but if there is only one page, you can simply choose Entire document.

The range of target pages is chosen under Pages to process.

Scaling (4.0)

Most often pages are placed at 100%.

You can also choose any other percentage.

However, sometimes you do not know the exact percentage needed because you just have to fit a particular space.

So you can give the dimensions of the space on the target page where the source page will be placed. Pay close attention to the red preview box to see where this will be.

If you choose Preserve aspect ratio the aspect ratio (shape) of the source page will not change when it is placed on the target page. Either the width or the height will be reduced as needed.

Pay close attention to the red box to see where the source will be placed. This will reflect your choice of  Preserve aspect ratio.

It is not recommended to use different sized pages in the source, but it will work, and the red box will preview each size used. When scaling to a size, the pages are scaled independently.

Rotation is also available.
