The action Add stamp-watermark

Purpose  

Adds one or more stamps (watermarks) automatically to PDF or image files as part of a scenario. Use this action to brand, date, or annotate documents and images before saving or sending them.

Where to add  

Insert the Add Stamp action in any scenario step that receives PDF, JPG, PNG or TIFF files (the action only applies to these file types).

Main settings

• Choose the stamp(s) to apply
  - Select one or more stamps from the drop‑down list. Multiple stamps can be applied in the order they are selected.
  - Only text-based stamps are currently supported. A stamp can include static text or fields (for example filename, processing date).
  - Create or edit stamps by clicking Stamps editor, this opens the stamp designer where you define text, font, size, color, position, opacity and rotation for each stamp.
• Password to open the file (optional)
  - If incoming files may be password-protected, enter one password per line in the password field. Rofiles will try the listed passwords to open the document.  

Supported file types  

- PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF. Other file types will not accept this action and will typically cause the action to be skipped or to fail depending on scenario settings.

How it works (quick steps)

1. Add the Add Stamp action to your scenario.  
2. In Choose the stamp(s) to apply select one or more stamps from the list. If needed, click Stamps editor to create or edit stamps.  
3. (Optional) Enter passwords (one per line) if files may be protected.  
4. Click OK to save the action.

Behavior notes and tips

• Use transparent colors or low opacity for unobtrusive watermarks.  
• Prefer common fonts to avoid substitution on the server — if a font is not available a fallback font will be used.  

Examples

• Add a processing footer: create a stamp with text "Processed on {date}" in small font positioned at bottom-right and apply to all pages.  
• Confidential diagonal watermark: create a semi-transparent red stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" rotated 45° and apply to PDFs.  
• File-specific info: use tokens in a stamp to include filename or folder name on the first page only.

Troubleshooting

• Stamp not visible: check font color/opacity, position and whether the stamp is applied to the targeted pages.  
• Action skipped: confirm the file type is supported (pdf/jpg/png/tif) and the action is placed after any conversions that may be needed.  
• Password not working: verify listed passwords are correct and in the correct file-type field; try opening the file manually to confirm.

That’s it, use Add Stamp to automatically watermark PDFs and images with configurable text stamps created and maintained in the Stamps editor.
