Add Custom Text and Image Stamps to Your PDFs with VeryPDF PDF Stamper Command Line
Meta Description:
Stamp PDFs with text, images, and graphics in bulk using VeryPDF PDF Stamper Command Lineideal for legal, business, and enterprise workflows.
Every time I sent out client documents, I'd get the same question:
"Can you add our company logo and date to every page?"
Manually? That was a nightmare.
I'd either open Adobe Acrobat and click through each page (ugh), or try some dodgy free tools that broke the formatting or slapped a watermark across the entire page. Not ideal.
Then I found VeryPDF PDF Stamper Command Line, and let me tell you, it changed how I handle PDFs forever.
Here's what this tool doesstraight up
It lets you stamp anythingtext, images, lines, rectanglesonto PDFs using a command-line interface.
You can customise the position, rotation, size, colour, opacity, and even add Bates numbers or links.
If you're in legal, finance, IT, government, or anywhere that deals with tons of PDFs, this thing is built for you.
Real use cases I've tackled with this tool:
1. Auto-stamping logos and signatures
I had to send out hundreds of NDAs.
With one line of code, I stamped my client's logo in the header and a digital signature at the bottom of every page.
No manual editing. No mistakes. No delay.
2. Adding time-stamps and contact info for document tracking
During an audit, we needed every page to show who generated it and when.
I used the dynamic text stamp feature like this:
Every page had the correct date and time, automatically.
3. Bates numbering made easy
This is gold for lawyers and legal teams.
Instead of fiddling with other clunky software, I just ran:
BoomBates numbers applied, formatted, and consistent.
