How to add approved stamp in Cover Page in ColdFusion

Question

I need some help on ColdFusion I am trying to create a Cover Page and then add Approved Stamp next to the Reviewer. However, I can able to add the stamp on the page but not next to the Reviewer. Here is the ColdFusion code.

<cfset sourcefile = "E:\http\docs\psdr\sample.pdf">
<cfset destinationfile = "E:\http\docs\psdr\sample_output.pdf">

<cfset cur_event_date  =  DateFormat(now(), "mm/dd/yyyy")> 
<cfset cur_event_time =  TimeFormat(now(), "hh:mm tt")> 
<cfset reviewList = "Electrical Engineering Review, Mechanical Engineering Review
, Management Approval">

<cfdocument format="PDF" name="coverPage"> 
    <html> 
        <body> 
            <h1>Reviewers Approval</h1> 
            <table class="table" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th scope="col">Step</th>
                        <th scope="col">Action</th>
                        <th scope="col">Name</th>
                        <th scope="col">Date</th>
                        <th scope="col">Time</th>
                        <th scope="col">Comments</th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>
                    <cfloop list="#reviewList#" index="reviewers">
                        <cfoutput>
                            <tr>
                                <td>#reviewers#</td>
                                <td></td>
                                <td></td>
                                <td>#cur_event_date#</td>
                                <td>#cur_event_time#</td>
                                <td></td>
                            </tr>
                        </cfoutput>
                        <br>
                    </cfloop>
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </body> 
    </html> 
</cfdocument>

<cfpdf action="addStamp" source="coverPage" overwrite="yes">
    <cfpdfparam pages="1" coordinates="397,532,519,564" iconname="Approved"/>

<h1>Add Stamp</h1>

Right now there is no guidelines/requirement to use any particular HTML but since this being a Cover Page all I need to do is create a list and add stamp next to the reviewer. We can use the grid, table any format is fine, and anyway is fine like deleting pages from existing PDF and then creating using cfdocument.

What is your code doing now? Show us an example of the PDF that code is creating. Then explain how that output is incorrect. — Miguel-F, May 08 '20 at 12:09
If you can create an image file of the approved stamp, you could place it in the appropriate `` element. — Dan Bracuk, May 08 '20 at 17:53

Thanks for your suggestions. I implemented it by using img in the td element. Here goes the code.

<cfset sourcefile = "E:\http\docs\psdr\sample.pdf">
<cfset destinationfile = "E:\http\docs\psdr\sample_output.pdf">

<cfset cur_event_date  =  DateFormat(now(), "mm/dd/yyyy")> 
<cfset cur_event_time =  TimeFormat(now(), "hh:mm tt")> 
<cfset reviewList = "Electrical Engineering Review, Mechanical Engineering Review
, Management Approval">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../util/reportdisplay.css"></link>

<cfdocument format="PDF" name="coverPage" localUrl = "yes"> 
    <html> 
        <body> 
            <h1>Reviewers Approval</h1> 
            <table class="table" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th scope="col">Step</th>
                        <th scope="col">Action</th>
                        <th scope="col">Name</th>
                        <th scope="col">Date</th>
                        <th scope="col">Time</th>
                        <th scope="col">Comments</th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>
                    <cfloop list="#reviewList#" index="reviewers">
                        <cfoutput>
                            <tr>
                                <td>#reviewers#</td>
                                <td><img src="https://mesdev.intranet.cnb/e/images/approved_stamp.JPG" width="120" height="38"></td>
