Where in my comment did I stated the documents had to be given back scanned?

  Why the negativity? Why not just say that you need to provide original paper documents? The previous comment was just trying to be helpful.

    Had I explicitly mentioned scanning, I would have welcomed, I didn't.

      A more polite, charitable response might have been "My job is _____ and in this field it's required for documents to be delivered by courier." You haven't made it clear why you necessitate printing in your workflow, just that it's required and that anyone who thinks otherwise clearly doesn't understand _your job_ as well as you do. Nobody thinks you're clever or cool for shutting down someone trying to be helpful.

        ====> Work stuff requires offline archives for contracts and legal stuff Easy enough for anyone that decides to read before doing clever comments. Should we also discuss the semantics of what offline means?

        I don't think I'd want to discuss anything with you, actually. You come off as a remarkably sour individual.

        That's probably for the better & no they do not.

        Well, a nice way to start is not provide feedback that wasn't asked for. In Germany we have a word for it, Besserwisser.

    they stated that they print regularly, then without knowning anything of their use case and needs, came the "ackchyually" like they know it better or the original commenter is an idiot, why is it so unfathomable that they have done their research

I'm searching for something that would stamp a custom date on a PDF, like "Received\n$(date)". I'm solely printing my stuff to stamp a date and then scanning them back... Haven't found anything yet.
- voltaireodactyl 3y ago
  The general trick I’ve found for things like this is the missing step is to first convert the PDF to image files, THEN watermark it with the dynamic date, then convert back to PDF. Which is a pain in the ass to automate but effective.
