IFX> Sender URI Stamp

Hi,

 

It's occurred to me that with PDF we have level of portability that we
didn't have before.  However the IFX spec requires that the sender add
the URI of the sender:

 

The Sender MUST place the Sender's URI, i.e., the value of the 

"sender-uri" attribute (see section 8.3), along with the date 

and time, in one of the following places, DEPENDING ON 

IMPLEMENTATION:

1.    On a cover page automatically generated by the Sender that is sent
before the rest of the document.

2.    Merged with the first page of the document.

3.    At the top of every page of the sent Document. 

The Sender MAY include additional data (Sending User, Receiver 

identity, etc.).  As for regular FAX, it is RECOMMENDED that 

this information be represented as bit map data, so that it is 

more difficult for it to be modified before it gets to the 

Receiver.

 

 

My first thought was to add an optional field to the PDF that indicated
where the Stamp was located.  If the doc was resent, then the second
sender could replace the Stamp with its own stamp.  But if the doc was
digitally signed then either the Signature would be lost or invalidated.

 

Anything thoughts on how we should handle this?  

 

Gail
