# PrintToVeraeTimeStamp
|
|
|
|
Print / CLI helper that saves `{name}.pdf`, stamps the digest with Verae, and writes `{name}-verae-timestamp-{RECEIPTID}.pdf`.
|
|
|
|
Only the SHA-256 digest is sent to Verae. Document bytes never leave the machine.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Downloads: [printit.verae.ai](https://printit.verae.ai/) (macOS `.pkg`, Windows `.zip`, Linux `.tar.gz`).
|
|
|
|
**macOS (recommended):** open `VeraePrintStamp-macos.pkg`. First launch opens **customer.verae.ai** for an **xVerae-** signing key.
|
|
|
|
**Windows (GUI installer):**
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Download VeraePrintStamp-windows-amd64-setup.exe from printit.verae.ai
|
|
Run the installer → Finish with “Run setup” → paste your xVerae- key
|
|
verae-print stamp .\document.pdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Debian / Ubuntu:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install ./verae-print_amd64.deb
|
|
verae-print setup
|
|
verae-print stamp document.pdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Linux (tarball, any distro):**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tar xzf VeraePrintStamp-linux-amd64.tar.gz
|
|
cd VeraePrintStamp-linux-amd64-*
|
|
sudo ./install.sh # CLI + optional CUPS queue
|
|
verae-print setup
|
|
verae-print stamp document.pdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From source (macOS):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /Users/marchon/research/PrintToVeraeTimeStamp
|
|
go build -o "$HOME/bin/verae-print" ./cmd/verae-print
|
|
verae-print setup # create account + save xVerae- signing key
|
|
verae-print install-printer # Print → Destination → Verae Timestamping
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional (buried PDF submenu): `verae-print install-macos`
|
|
|
|
Ensure `$HOME/bin` is on your `PATH`. For the legacy Verae Time JWT channel:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uvx verae-mcp-timestamping-server setup
|
|
# or session check:
|
|
uvx verae-mcp-timestamping-server session
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For the Zapier channel, store an `xVerae-` token from [customer.verae.ai](https://customer.verae.ai/portal/) / [zap.verae.ai](https://zap.verae.ai/portal/) Security tab:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.verae
|
|
chmod 700 ~/.verae
|
|
printenv XVERAE_TOKEN > ~/.verae/xverae-token # or paste once
|
|
chmod 600 ~/.verae/xverae-token
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
In any app: **File → Print → Destination → Verae Timestamping → Print**.
|
|
|
|
Also: drop a PDF on **Verae Print Stamp** in `/Applications`, or **Open With**.
|
|
|
|
CLI:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
verae-print stamp [--channel=verae|zapier] [--out-dir DIR] [--name STEM] [--open] file.pdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default output directory: `~/Documents/Verae Timestamps/`
|
|
|
|
| File | Content |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `{name}.pdf` | Exact printed bytes (proven artifact) |
|
|
| `{name}-verae-timestamp-{RECEIPTID}.pdf` | Registration / certificate PDF |
|
|
| `{name}.verae.json` | Receipt sidecar |
|
|
|
|
Channels:
|
|
|
|
- `zapier` (default after setup) — `zap.verae.ai` + customer `xVerae-` signing key + `attachPdf:true`
|
|
- `verae` — `api.veraetime.net` + JWT in `~/.verae/auth.properties` (opt-in: `-channel=verae`)
|
|
|
|
## Signed macOS installer (.pkg)
|
|
|
|
Same FlightLookup Developer ID + notarization path as Verae Timestamping.app (`~/fie/installers/macos/signing.env`).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /Users/marchon/research/PrintToVeraeTimeStamp
|
|
chmod +x platform/macos/pkg/build-pkg.sh
|
|
./platform/macos/pkg/build-pkg.sh
|
|
# → build/macos-pkg/dist/VeraePrintStamp-0.1.2.pkg
|
|
# → build/macos-pkg/dist/VeraePrintStamp-macos.pkg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The pkg installs:
|
|
|
|
| Path | Role |
|
|
|------|------|
|
|
| `/Applications/Verae Print Stamp.app` | Drop / Open With |
|
|
| `/Library/Application Support/Verae/PrintStamp/bin/verae-print` | Stamp CLI (universal) |
|
|
| `/usr/local/bin/verae-print` | Symlink |
|
|
| LaunchAgent + CUPS queue | **Print → Destination → Verae Timestamping** |
|
|
|
|
Requires: `Developer ID Application` + `Developer ID Installer` (FlightLookup), App Store Connect API key in `signing.env`, Node for bundling the registration PDF builder.
|
|
|
|
## Windows / Linux release archives
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/build-win-linux.sh
|
|
./platform/windows/build-installer.sh # NSIS GUI setup.exe (needs makensis)
|
|
# on Debian/Ubuntu host:
|
|
VERSION=0.1.2 BIN_AMD64=... BIN_ARM64=... ./platform/linux/deb/build-deb.sh all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Windows ships an NSIS GUI installer; stamp via CLI after setup (virtual printer still on the [spec](docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-03-print-to-verae-timestamp.md) roadmap). Debian/Ubuntu use `verae-print_*.deb`; other distros use the tarball + `install.sh`.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
macOS Destination printer (notarized `.pkg`), Windows/Linux CLI packages, and branded registration PDF are published at [printit.verae.ai](https://printit.verae.ai/).
