This could be inserted in your document control procedure , to establish how to proceed.
In my opinion, but the decision to comply is up to you, you can upload without any stamp as PDF, because in the intranet company you can link these documents that are controlled by default in your document system.
You shall assure that clicking on the related document, it appears the last version of the desidered document.
Hope this helps

Agree with this.
Stamping of documents is basically a "hard copy" function in my opinion. Documents loaded onto an intranet and access to the intranet properly controlled should provide sufficient security.
Just make sure that your procedures accurately reflect this.

I would also suggest making any copies printed from the intranet "uncontrolled", or "valid only on the day printed" or something of that nature. This prevents people from printing off a document and then never checking back for revisions.

We just added a note to the footer of the documents placed in our intranet stating printed copies are uncontrolled copies. Simple & effective.

I agree that this is a simple approach....could you state that printed copies are uncontrolled in your procedure and not need the footer?

I'm currently revising our system and your post gave me this thought. I suppose it will depend on the individual business, but if it works with the footer, couldn't it work if stated in the DC procedure?

This might depend on the level of training of those printing and using the documents.

There is no requirement to stamp any document with anything.

It can work certainly.
