pdfa/transparent_stamp_for_pdfa

Apply a transparent stamp to an existing PDF/A document while maintaining PDF/A conformance.
Import all pages from an existing PDF/A document and place a stamp on the page. The stamp is filled with a pattern color, where the pattern consists of a bitmap. The bitmap is used as a mask to create a certain percentage of transparency. This is required since real transparency is not allowed in PDF/A. Transparency by pattern color is PDF/A compatible, so we use it to apply a transparent stamp on a PDF/A document while maintaining PDF/A conformance.
