To press the button New seal+ in the upper right corner of the editor.

A menu appears in front of us where we select the type of print and set its dimensions.

After which the interface with tools opens. At the top we see 4 buttons: Text in a circle,Text,Circle And Images.

Text in a circle- by clicking this button, to the left of the blank, a field appears for entering text, which will be rounded in the circle of your print. To the right of the template, text editing tools appear. Where you can change its size, font, radius, arc length and starting point.

Text - By pressing this button, to the left of the workpiece, a field for entering text will also appear in the center of the print. To the right of the blank, the already familiar text editor appears. Where you can select the size, font, x position of the text, y position of the text.

Circle- this button adds new circles to your print. If you click on this button to the right of the workpiece, a new circle editor will appear. Where you can set the radius and thickness.

Images- by clicking on this button, to the right of the workpiece, a field for selecting a logo for your print will appear. But in addition to choosing from ready-made pictures, you can upload your own image.

1) The print type I chose was a circle with a radius of 38mm.

2) I want to add the name of my organization, ORGN and Taxpayer Identification Number. To do this I press the button Text in a circle. In the field that appears, I write the name of the organization “LLC Firm”. Please note that the number of times you write the text in this field, the number of times it will be repeated in the circle of your seal. We will add the TIN and ORGN in a new field by clicking the button again Text in a circle. Then we edit the text as needed using the interface on the right side.

3) Then I go back to the shape settings and edit its radius and thickness.

4) To separate the name of the organization, INN and ORGN from the print logo, I click on the button Circle. A new circle appears on the print, which I edit using the interface we are familiar with, to the right of the workpiece.

5) Now let's add text to the center of the print. To do this, press the button Text and in the field that appears, write the information we need. Then we also edit the inscription using the interface on the right.

6) We move on to the final stage of creating the seal. Press the button Images and choose a logo for your print. I'll choose scales. You can choose something else or fill in your image altogether.

To download the print to your computer, you need to click the button in the lower left corner of the designer. After which a dialog box appears where we can download the print for free in low quality, with an opaque background and a small size. Or for a small amount, but get a high-quality layout, with a transparent background and a large size. I will choose to download for 99 rubles. After which a window appears in which we enter the email address to which we will receive a stamp after payment. We agree to the user agreement and click pay. You can pay by bank transfer using a bank card or electronic wallets.

Now that we have the seal, we go to our document, select the tab at the top Insert. Click on the button Drawing. In the window that appears, select the print file and click Insert. Then right-click on our seal and select text wrapping and click there before the text. Actually, that's all. I hope everything worked out for you.

Quite often the question comes up about how to insert a seal and signature into a pdf. To solve this problem, you can use a special tool called “Stamp”, which is available in Adobe Acrobat. The seal in this case will be applied to the PDF document without any additional manipulations in an instant.

It should be noted that the image in the form of a seal or signature can be created independently or selected from a list of predefined ones. In general, applying a seal to a PDF document is not as complicated a process as it seems at first glance. In addition, it is possible to create a dynamic stamp that will receive all the necessary information from the personal computer and the “Personal Information” panel, which is located in the dialog box called “Settings”. This gives the user an excellent opportunity to indicate not only the name of the seal, but also its date and time of affixing. The tool itself is typically displayed in a panel called Annotation.

  • To solve the problem of how to insert a stamp into a pdf, you should open “Comments” and go to “Annotations”.
  • Click on “Stamps” and among the list of items shown, click on “Show palette...”.
  • To insert the desired option into a PDF document, you should click on the tool of the same name, and in the palette that opens, select a specific category, and then the stamp itself.
  • Click on the document page where you want to place the image as a stamp. You can also drag the rectangular area with the mouse pointer to determine where the future stamp will be placed and what size it will be.
  • If you did not specify a specific name in the personal information settings, then you will see a dialog box with personal information settings, where you should enter any name that interests you.

If you want to change the appearance and location of the image, then to do this you need to do one of the following using a tool called “Hand” or “Selection”:

  • To move a stamp you have placed, simply use one of the above tools and drag it to a new location.
  • To delete a newly added image as a seal, right-click on it and click on “Delete”.
  • To resize a stamp, click on it, then drag the handle that appears on the corner.
  • To change the color of the note that pops up near the stamp or its opacity value, right-click on it and then select “Properties.” Go to the Appearance tab and set the required values.

If you like one of the stamps and decide to add it to your favorites list, start by selecting the stamp's mark using Hand/Select. After that, click on the “Stamp” tool in the “Annotations” panel and click on the item that implies adding the current stamp to the list of favorites.

How to create a stamp?

If there is no suitable stamp in the form of a seal among the files loaded into the Adobe Acrobat program, then you can create it yourself. To do this, you only need to insert it. In addition, the inserted stamp will have all the same characteristics that other stamps have.

First, find a suitable seal on one of the electronic documents, and then solve the problem of how to cut it out - use any graphic editor for this. Or you can download any suitable seals for free from thematic web resources. If the print file is already ready, then follow these steps:

  • Open the “Annotations” panel, then go to “Stamps” and click on the item that opens the palette with stamps.
  • Click on “Import”, and then select “File”.
  • Next, you just have to select from the menu or enter your own category, giving the added seal a name. After this, click on “Ok”.

Insert a seal and signature using a special program

In addition to all of the above, it should be added that to add a seal to a PDF file, you can download and install PDFSign software. In this case, all you have to do is open the desired file, click on the add seal/signature button and place it in the desired location. Thus, printing using such software is added in a few clicks. The advantages of this program include quick signing of documents, the ability to save in PDF format, print a document from the software itself, and work with any images where there is a scaling option.

Applying a seal and signature using a virtual printer

Another simple way to stamp a document and save it in PDF format is.

So, let's say you have a contract typed in Word that needs to be signed, converted to PDF and sent by email.

  • We scan the document from which we will cut out the area with the signature in a graphic editor
  • We insert the cut out image into our contract and adjust its size
  • Click print document and select a virtual printer as the printer, which must be pre-installed
  • Select a disk space to save the PDF agreement

At one time, in order to pay for my services, I had to send clients a sample invoice with a blue stamp on it. I’m not good at accounting, but all my arguments that this is just a sample, pay and you’ll get a full package of documents with a blue seal, didn’t work.

I had to rack my brains and solve the problem.

In this article, I’ll tell you exactly how you can put a blue round stamp on any Word document.

How to make a round stamp design

The first thing that comes to mind is to create a print layout in the Word editor itself.

Everything is clear, Word is a text editor, and printing is best done in a graphic editor, but for our task, although it’s clumsy, we’ll still be able to do it.

In Word, there is a set of graphic shapes, having experience with which, it is quite possible to create a round, blue seal, without much hassle.

  1. Go to the “Insert” tab;
  2. In the “Tex” block, select the WordArt button (the letter “A” tilted to the right);
  3. Add text that will be located around the seal circle, select the font of interest and text size.
  4. After you activate the text you just created, a new “Format” tab will appear in the ribbon, in which in the “Change Shape” item you need to set the value to “Circle”.


    If the inscription is too compressed, you can always enlarge it using markers.

  5. Return to the “Insert” tab, click on the “Shapes” button and select “Circle”.

  6. Draw two circles with a line width of 2 pp and one circle with a line width of 4 pp.

    You can select the color and width of the lines in the “AutoShape Format” window, located in a pop-up window activated by right-clicking on the shape.

  7. Select all the created objects, go to the “Format” tab and select the “Align Objects” button. First align to the center, then to the middle.

  8. Add the text of interest in the center of the created seal. In my case, the print created in Word looks like this:

  9. Select all the created objects again and group the shape so that when you drag, nothing falls apart.

We agree, there is nothing complicated. Just 9 points and the seal is ready. Save it in a separate file and, if necessary, simply copy it into the desired document.

And yet, you need to understand that we created a primitive seal, not replete with a large number of objects.

What if live printing is much better thought out?

How to insert a stamp into a document

If a live print is too difficult to draw, I don’t recommend messing with it. Ultimately, if you work hard, of course, any print can be redrawn, even using Word, but most likely there will be differences and most likely they will be significant.

One piece of advice. Scan the circular stamp from the paper and save it as a regular drawing.

All that remains to be done is to simply add the seal as a picture to the Word document. Let's look at an example of how this is done.

  1. Scan and save the round seal as a drawing.
  2. Go to the “Insert” tab and click on the “Drawings” button.
  3. In the window that appears, select a picture with a seal image.

  4. Set the stamp at the location of interest and select the “Behind the text” wrap.

It’s not often that the average person needs information on how to make their own stamp. But there are still cases when advice of this kind will help in creativity or the implementation of creative ideas. We have put together several recommendations, but first we will look at the types of stamps and their purpose.

There are seals for official documentation:

  1. Stamp. Certifies the authenticity of government documents.
  2. A commercial. Used by individual entrepreneurs and legal entities.
  3. Stamp. Replaces handwritten text on institutional letterheads.

If everything is clear with the documents, then how to label your books, letters, personal belongings? Masters accustomed to standards are unlikely to make a creative sketch of an image. It's easier to make an impression yourself. Below we will tell you how to make printing at home.

Attention: the instructions contain tips on how to make a seal for personal needs. Illegal production of a stamp for commercial or other purposes is punishable by forced labor or imprisonment for up to two years. In the best case, you will have to pay a fine of up to 80 thousand rubles. (Article 327, paragraph 1).

Types of homemade prints:

  • Bookplate. You can use it to mark, for example, books in your home library. The print may contain a beautiful image or your family crest.
  • Logo. They are placed on hand-made products, paper bags, and packaging.
  • Blank for wax impressions. Used to seal letters.
  • Toy print for games with children.

Image creation programs

Making a print begins with creating a design for the print. Graphic programs are used for this:

  • Stamp is a popular and free software for creating image layouts. Intuitive, even an inexperienced user can work with it. You can only download the demo version for free.
  • "Stamp" is a free program with wide functionality.
  • Corel Draw, Illustrator - vector graphic editors for creating detailed images. Requires basic skills.
  • Fine Print is a paid program for inserting a print image into a text document.

The process of creating a print layout in Corel Draw

Methods of making seals

Here are 3 main methods: complex, simple, for children.

Complex: photopolymer printing

Photo exposure technology is capable of conveying the smallest details of a drawing. However, it is financially expensive and difficult to implement: you need to master graphics programs, buy film and polymer, find an exposure camera and a suitable laser printer.

Step 1. Need an image layout. To create a professional drawing, use Corel Draw, but other programs are also suitable.

Step 2. To print the layout, use a laser printer with a resolution of 600 dpi. Lomond or Kimoto films are suitable as a base.

Step 3. Straighten the negative and place it face up on the glass. Before doing this, moisten the glass with water so that the negative sticks better. It is advisable to cover it with protective film. Using smoothing movements from the center to the edges, remove air and remaining water from under the film.

Step 4. Cover the edge of the negative with border tape, leaving the corners free.

Step 5. Evenly, without breaking the stream, fill the negative with photopolymer. If bubbles appear, poke them with a needle or blow them out with a stream of air from a rubber bulb.

Step 6. Carefully place the film on the polymer with the rough side inward and the smooth side outward. Press it lightly in the middle and gradually release the ends. Place another piece of glass on top and use clamps (available at office supply stores) to secure it around the edges.

Step 7 Place the resulting “sandwich” in the exposure chamber. The front side should be on top. Set the exposure duration. When the process is complete, turn the composition over and repeat the procedure. Each polymer has its own exposure duration. For example, VX55 and ROEHM should be kept for one minute. To avoid mistakes, read the technical regulations.

Step 8 Carefully remove the glass and separate the negative from the resin. Leave the clear substrate in place. Use a toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any remaining uncured resin from the cliche. It is best to do this under running warm water.

Step 9 Soak the washed cliche in water for 5-10 minutes and re-expose it.

Step 10 Carefully cut out the cliche along the contour without touching the edges. Glue the workpiece onto the equipment. The print is ready!

Beginners often separate the substrate from the polymer after exposure. As a result, it is impossible to glue the stamp blank. Remember: the rough surface of the substrate comes into contact with the polymer, and the smooth surface sticks to the body.

This impression can be used to seal with wax or sealing wax.

Simple: stamp made using foil

Find an old stamp or board of a suitable size, preferably with a handle. Glue the resulting inscription to it, and you can test the quality of the print.

This technology does not require any special artistic talents from you. Materials for making blanks are available in every home. The wear resistance of such a stamp is lower than that of a photopolymer, but with its help you can make several hundred prints.

Step 1. Choose a suitable drawing. Transfer it to tracing paper and then to foil. To do this, you can take a pencil or a non-writing pen and trace the outline with light pressure. Any foil will do: food foil on a roll or from a chocolate bar.

Step 2. Carefully pour strong putty or epoxy glue into the resulting recesses. Set the workpiece aside for two days to dry.

Step 3. At the end of the period, remove the resulting inscription from the foil. The cast should come off easily.

Step 4. Find an old stamp or board of a suitable size, preferably with a handle. Glue the resulting inscription to it and test the quality of the print. Ready!
