# setName(_:)

Sets the name associated with the stamp annotation.

## Declaration

```swift
func setName(_ name: String!)
```

## Discussion

Discussion The name must be representable in ASCII. You can set a stamp annotation’s name to help you identify it, but that name is not displayed on the PDF page. You must provide the string you want displayed on the page, such as “Draft” or “Top Secret”, in the appearance stream for the annotation.
