You can either use pre-made exhibit sticker files or create a sticker for a PDF from scratch in Adobe.

Pro Tips: What to Know before Adding Exhibit Stickers to PDF

When it comes to how to add an exhibit sticker to a PDF, you should break the question into three parts. Here is a detailed explanation. 

  1. Create the custom stamp from the beginning: if you don't have a prepared sticker or stamp, you should combine Adobe Acrobat DC and a sticker tool. For example, you can integrate the E-Sticker with Adobe to create one by yourself. The exhibit sticker plugin can automatically number the stickers when you add exhibit stickers to PDFs.

After installing the tool, open Adobe Acrobat Pro and select “Add-on Tools”. Then, choose the “E-Sticker” tool and customize the sticker options to create your own stamp. Go to “Add a stamp” > “Stamp” > “E-Sticker”, and choose the created sticker to add to your desired PDF page.

  1. Add exhibit stickers to a PDF as images: If you saved the exhibit sticker template as a JPG or other image, you can add the image to the PDF. You can achieve that by using SwifDoo PDF editor. To add exhibit numbers to a PDF, select the typewriter tool under the “Annotate” menu, and click on the image to type the case number or exhibit number on it.
  1. Add pre-printed labels: you can search and download Off-the-shelf exhibit sticker PDF or image files from online websites. For instance, the United States Courts (.gov) or Northern District of Ohio (.gov) site. This way, you can directly import the saved files into the PDF solution and add the sticker without the creation process.

Final Words

Reading through this article will clarify how to add an exhibit sticker to a PDF. You have three options to simplify your life and pick your favorite one according to your liking. The SwifDoo PDF is compact, smooth, and affordable, offering advanced features. Adobe Acrobat is powerful, but it consumes significant system resources and is expensive. Regardless of which method you use, a time-saving trick is to obtain the sticker PDF or image in advance and then directly stamp the PDF as an exhibit using the stamp function.
