AnnBatesStampComposer is the main part for Bates stamping operation as it connects annotations containers with Bates stamp objects.
public class AnnBatesStampComposer : IDisposable
Use this composer to add target containers to apply Bates stamps to.
It allows the addition of AnnBatesStamp objects. Also this composer have ability to save and load the Bates stamp list.
This example will create Bates stamp object with multiple elements then use the composer to attach the Bates stamp to target container.
