Verae Print Stamp for Windows
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Print any document to "Verae TimeStamp PDF" to save it as a PDF and register
|
|
a Verae timestamp of its fingerprint (SHA-256; the document itself is not sent).
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
1. Double-click VeraePrintStamp-windows-amd64-<version>-setup.exe and accept
|
|
the Windows administrator prompt.
|
|
2. Verae key: keep the key that was found, sign in with your Verae email and
|
|
password (plus authenticator code if you use 2FA), create a new account,
|
|
paste an xVerae- key from https://customer.verae.ai/portal/ (Security), or
|
|
skip (you will be asked on your first print).
|
|
Your password goes only to customer.verae.ai over HTTPS and is never saved.
|
|
Only the issued key is saved, in %USERPROFILE%\.verae\xverae-token
|
|
(readable only by you).
|
|
3. After each print: "Ask for a file name for each print" (on by default)
|
|
shows a Save As dialog for every print; also choose whether to show the
|
|
new certificate in File Explorer (default), open it in your PDF viewer, or
|
|
do nothing.
|
|
4. The last page lists each step as OK / FAIL / SKIP.
|
|
|
|
Printing
|
|
--------
|
|
* Printer "Verae TimeStamp PDF" (main): built-in Microsoft IPP driver, served
|
|
by the Verae helper that runs in your session.
|
|
* Printer "Verae TimeStamp PDF (Local Port)" (fallback): built-in Microsoft
|
|
Print to PDF driver; use it if the main printer is not available.
|
|
Save As (promptForFilename on, the default): after each print a Save As
|
|
dialog appears on top of your app. It starts in the folder you used last
|
|
(first time: Documents\Verae Timestamps) with the document's name filled in
|
|
(or "Printed <date> <hhmmss>"). The printed PDF is saved where you choose and
|
|
the certificate and receipt are saved next to it:
|
|
<chosen name>.pdf
|
|
<chosen name>-verae-timestamp-<RECEIPT>.pdf
|
|
<chosen name>.verae.json
|
|
If the file already exists, Windows asks whether to replace it (the
|
|
certificate and receipt are never overwritten; they get "-2", ...).
|
|
Cancel discards the print: nothing is timestamped and no credit is used.
|
|
|
|
Without the dialog (promptForFilename false), results go to
|
|
Documents\Verae Timestamps:
|
|
<name>.pdf the printed document
|
|
<name>-verae-timestamp-<RECEIPT>.pdf the timestamp certificate
|
|
<name>.verae.json receipt details
|
|
Existing files are never overwritten: a second job with the same name gets
|
|
"-2", "-3", ... (fallback-printer jobs are named "Printed <date> <hhmmss>").
|
|
|
|
If your key is missing, expired or revoked
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
The print job is never lost. It is kept in %APPDATA%\Verae\PrintStamp\pending
|
|
and a Verae sign-in window opens (email, password, 2FA code; or Create account /
|
|
Paste key). After you sign in, waiting jobs are timestamped automatically.
|
|
If you cancel, they stay waiting and are retried when the helper starts again,
|
|
after you sign in (Start > Verae > Setup signing key), or after the next print.
|
|
|
|
Settings (%USERPROFILE%\.verae\config.json)
|
|
--------
|
|
{ "promptForFilename": true } Save As dialog for each print (true/false;
|
|
read for every print, no restart needed)
|
|
{ "openOnComplete": "folder" } folder | pdf | none
|
|
{ "logLevel": "debug" } verbose helper logging (or set the
|
|
environment variable VERAE_LOG_LEVEL=debug)
|
|
Restart the helper after changing settings (sign out/in, or Start > Verae >
|
|
Start print helper).
|
