Use the Document Subtables table to stamp your data in precise locations
Go to the Document Template record you want to stamp the data onto. In the PDF Stamping Details section, select the Add Document Subtable button to add new data to be stamped.
The Add Document Subtable form has three sections:
PDF Template—Document Template Name (required) is the template record this stamp belongs to. The template's Master table dbid is displayed next to it, followed by an Is Fillable checkbox. See the fillfid parameter in PDF Stamper formula URL parameters.
PDF Stamping Settings—the fields described below.
PDF Subtables—the settings and Template Reference fields, used only when you include related records in a table. See Include related data with subtables.
