How to put a for deposit only stamp on a PDF

In Bluebeam, Markup then Image places the for deposit only stamp, and the result behaves like any other markup until you flatten it. Flattening matters on anything going to a client or a reviewer: before it, the stamp is an object anybody can select and drag off the page.

What size should a for deposit only stamp be?

Text is the limit, not the shape. Every line you add to a for deposit only stamp makes the rest smaller, and letters below roughly 6pt at true size stop surviving a scan or a fax. Three to five lines is the practical ceiling on a 40 mm mark.

What a for deposit only stamp does not prove

The organisation receiving the document decides whether a for deposit only stamp is acceptable, and practice varies more than people expect. For invoices, internal approvals and routine correspondence an image is widely accepted. For deeds, filings and anything going to a court or a registry, confirm before you rely on it.
