My company is considering purchasing your software. I have two questions
though.
1: When I run the utility from the command line, it seems to return
immediately, even though processing is going on in the background. If we
were to call this from a shell script, how would we know when processing is
done?
2: Is it possible to just stamp the 5th page from the last, or can we only
stamp the last page? The documentation on the -SR option is a little
unclear to me.
Cheers,

Thanks for leaving a message for us.
1. Once the stamping finishes, there will be output PDF file.
2. This software allows you to specify stamping page range.
Please check more details here.

Hello,
Thank you for the response, but I am still a little unclear.
1. A script (not a human) is calling this program, how will the script know
when the stamping is finished? The output file exists immediately upon
calling the pdfstamp -- it initially copies the original file and then
works on that copy -- but there is nothing to indicate that it is finished.
In other words, the presence of the output file doesn't mean that the
output file is complete. Am I missing something?
2. The documentation is incomplete. Can you give me an example of what
range parameters I would use if I just wanted to stamp the 3rd from last
page?
Cheers,

pdfstamp.exe will not exit until stamping be done completely, so you can simple run pdfstamp.exe and wait until it exit.

You can use following command line to try,
pdfstamp.exe -PDF "example.pdf" -o "opacity.pdf" -AT "VeryPDF Opacity" -SR -S3 –E99999
