Frequently Asked Questions

Why stamp a PDF instead of renaming the file?
A filename helps in storage, but a visible stamp communicates status directly on the document when it is printed, forwarded, or opened outside your folder structure.
What stamp labels are most common?
Approved, Draft, Reviewed, Void, Internal Use, and Copy are the most common labels in legal, operations, and finance workflows.
Is this useful before e-signature?
Yes. Teams often stamp working copies during review, then remove or replace the status mark before the final signature version is sent.
