Acquire - Help - /text option
Usage
acquire ... /text:attr:attr...="some text"This option causes Acquire to draw some text into each image, after scanning and before writing the image to file. By default, the text is written in plain black 12pt Arial at the bottom-left of the image.
Any number of attributes can be applied - see the Attributes table below.
Any special placeholders in your text will be replaced - see the Placeholders table below.
If you omit the ="text", Acquire uses "$file[$page] ($user) $date"
The text is placed relative to the edges of the image, with a 0.3 inch margin. That is, when we say the text is drawn at the "left edge" of the image, we mean 0.3in from the left edge.
Examples
acquire /text
acquire /text="scanned on $date by $user"
acquire /text:underline:times:0.2in:top:center:180="Document A00057732"
