"Instamping" - PDF Stamping Feature to Personalize Your Ebooks
At Instamojo, we spend a lot of time understanding your needs and requirements which helps us create a better product that you can use daily to sell directly to your audience through a link from virtually anywhere.
Also, we always hide the complexity while exposing the simplicity of a tool/feature so that you can easily benefit from it.
How does it work?
Instamping lets you stamp your PDF files with the buyer’s information at the time of sale automatically.
With each page having buyer’s information stamped, greatly discourages sharing and posting of copyrighted content.
With the growing demand of digital book, publishers get increasingly confronted with the issue of online piracy. Even though there are terms & condition that alerts the users implication of distribution, but one cannot be tracked if this gets uploaded in a torrent or a free share website.
This feature will make the user responsible to own the content, and even if re-distribution happens, the user can be tracked down.
This feature is extremely useful to those writers, designers, developers etc who create things for a wider audience, and we want to make sure the effort doesn't go in vain.
How to get started?
You will simply need to log to Instamojo, upload your PDFs you want to sell. And then, just check the "Secure your PDF" (see screenshot above) option after uploading the file. Doing this will ensure that the user’s email id (by default) is stamped in the PDF file's footer.

Is this feature chargeable/mandatory?
Absolutely Not. We have made this feature available for all and have kept it simple and flexible.
Here what one of our beta-users has to say –
“It fast, simple and all it needs is 1-click. And that's it. This feature allowed us to relax the pricing and thus reach a wider audience. We knew our content was unique and receive a good user response, but we observed this was getting shared over torrent. Eventually we didn’t take the risk this time and have started to get higher volumes due to better price."
