Scale – Change the original image to the size you want your stamp to be
Rotation - The angle the image should be rotated
Compression - The image compression to use when creating the image stamp. Only PDF compatible image compression can be chosen.
- JPEG: lossy compression that will reduce image quality and size
- JPEG2000: less lossy compression that will reduce size and some quality
- FLATE: Lossless compression does not reduce quality
- JBIG2: Lossless compression that can only support black and white colors. Color images will be converted to black and white.
Convert White to Transparent - when checked will change any white background to be transparent.
Tolerance - This option removes the white background from an image. Tolerance affects the range of colors that are considered "white" to be converted to transparent. Higher tolerance converts more pixels. For hand drawn signatures it is recommended to use a bold thick pen.
