How to add a Signature stamp to Okular

  • 772

I'd like to have my own signature as a stamp for Okular.

In folder /usr/share/okular there is a config file drawingtools.xml and in folder /usr/share/okular/pic the is a stamps.svg containing some pictures with stamps. But it seems not to be made for adding more pictures.

Is there a easy, lean and clean way to insert my own graphic?

Edit:

I found this:

Eigene Stempel definieren

Okular bietet die Möglichkeit, eigene Stempel zu definieren, die dann als Markierung ins Dokumment einfügt werden können.

Dazu muss man zuerst den gewünschten Text oder das gewünschte Bild als .png oder .svg Datei im Homeverzeichnis unter .kde/share/icons speichern, Dateinamen und Dateiendung dürfen ausschließlich aus Kleinbuchstaben bestehen. Sollte das Verzeichnis nicht existieren, dann muss man es vorher noch anlegen.

Danach wählt man das Menü "Einstellungen -> Anmerkungen einrichten" und dort "Hinzufügen -> Typ:Stempel". Im oberen Feld kann man einen eigenen, frei wählbaren Namen eingeben, im unteren Feld unter "Stempel Symbol" gibt man den Namen der zuvor gespeichert Stempeldatei ein. Findet Okular diese, wird eine Vorschau rechts neben der Eingabe angezeigt. Mit einem Klick auf "Ok" ist der eigene Stempel angelegt und einsatzbereit. Im Menü mit den Werkzeugen wird der Stempel jetzt angezeigt.

And the Google Translate version:

Define your own stamps

Okular offers the possibility to define own stamps, which can then be inserted as a marking in the document.

To do this you must first save the desired text or image as .png or .svg file in the home directory under .kde / share / icons, filenames and file extensions may only consist of lowercase letters. If the directory does not exist, you have to create it first.

Then select the menu "Settings -> Set up notes" and there "Add -> Type: Stamp". In the upper field you can enter your own, freely selectable name, in the lower field under "Stamp Symbol" you enter the name of the previously saved stamp file. If eyepiece finds this, a preview will be displayed to the right of the input. With a click on "Ok" your own stamp is created and ready for use. In the menu with the tools, the stamp is now displayed.

But putting a sig.png in .kde/share/icons didn't helped. It's not shown if entering the name as Stamp-Symbol.

  1. First, please place your image in ~/.kde/share/icons, creating the icons folder if need be. (To be on the safe side, please use lowercase for the image name and avoid spaces).

    Adding your own stamp in Okular

    Then, as shown in the image above, you need to type or paste in the entire path and filename like

    /home/rundekugel/.kde/share/icons/mysignature.png

    assuming that your username is rundekugel and that mysignature.png is the relevant image.

    This is a recognized usability issue in Okular version 1.3.3 that ships in Bionic and is being addressed in Make custom stamp image support more discoverable.

  2. the only way that adding my signature works is by putting the full path /home/me/.kde/share/icons/stamp.png, and not ~/.kde/share/icons/stamp.png

    I tried putting the link to my images folder and it didn't work either.
