Can any one help us to find out a way to flatten stamps (so other users cannot move
the stamp) on a PDF .

Currently we are using itext PDFEncryptor class to do it. But this is making the pdf secure with a password to it. We dont want to make the pdf secure.

Can any one help us in finding out a way to flatten stamps without securing the PDF.
