\noindent The position commands in \Sref{position} can be used to locate the stamp more precisely (they are calculated relative to the crop box of the stamp). Or, preprocess the stamp with \texttt{-shift} first.
The \texttt{-scale-to-fit-stamp} option can be added to scale the stamp to fit the page before applying it. The use of positioning commands together with \texttt{-scale-stamp-to-fit} is not recommended.
The \texttt{-combine-pages} operation takes two PDF files and stamps each
