Q: Can I place more than one stamp on a document?

  • A: Yes. After adding a stamp simply select the stamp option again to add a second stamp. The fields for these stamps will need to be customized for each new stamp added.

  • A: Yes, simply scroll to the page that needs a stamp or use the “go to page” option in the top left-hand corner.

Q: If I replace a document do I have to edit it again?

  • A: Yes. Replacing the document will not keep any of the stamps, notes, highlights, or redactions made to the old document.
