Hi, quick question related to in design, i have a stamp design i need to copy and paste 300 times and number each stamp P1,P2,P3 .... P300 

so the design on every stamp has to be same but the numbering of the stamp differs in order to have 1 to 300 stamps, is there any fast way i can do all of the above ? Please let me know !

If you are providing individual page PDFs for each stamp, the easiest way is to use the automatic page number as mentioned by @Dave Creamer of IDEAS.

But it sounds more likley from your question you are laying out a certain number on a page (like 8-up on a letter-size sheet), That would be a perfect job for a data merge.

Let us know which you way you are planning to go and one of us will give you a quick heads up on a procedure, even if you want the same number more than once on each stamp..

Yes ! The print house probably needs more than one stamp on a page, hence i need to add around 10-20 stamps on one spread (or page) and have a total of 300 stamps numbered. I have already executed the method of automated numbering and I now have 300 stamps (numbered) but each on a different spread hence each on a pdf page. Is there any quick way I can merge like 10-20 on every spread ?

Check with your print provider, generally they would impose the individual pages for you in a method that would make it easier for them to cut and process the stamps in order.

I'm not picturing what you want to do.

Do you have one stamp per page or 300 stamps per page?

Depending on what you need, page numbering could be used or an auto number could be used.

I would build the design on a parent/master page, set up your numbering as a page number, back in the document add another 299 pages.
