Acrobat 9 dynamic stamp customized transfer from previous version

client of mine made a custom dynamic stamp and they can get it set up fine (dynamic field inserted in the stamp) and in the correct folder where it pulls the other stamps, but it is not finding it in the stamp list in the program, is what they've told me. This was functioning properly in our old computer when they were an earlier version of Acrobat. I want to know how I can get it to show up. The custom stamp I believe is a jpg cause it was created in photoshop.

The Acrobat/Reader stamp file specification has not changed sinced Acrobat/Reader 6. So if the stamped worked in an earlier verion it will work in Acrobat 9 and later as well. Since she recreated the stamp it is very likely that she did something different, because it sounds like the stamp was made incorrectly.
Not all pages in the stamp file are stamps. Stamp pages are marked in a special way. You typically make a dynamic stamp by first creating a static stamp, and then manually modifying that static stamp. So, did she create a static stamp first? and does this static stamp show up where it should on the stamp menus? This is the starting point for a dynamic stamp, and the first thing that should be checked before adding dynamic features to the stamp file. See the link below for the "All About PDF Stamps" book. You'll find everything you need to know about creating stamps there.
BTW: it is not a good idea to add new custom stamps to the built-in stamps, and especially if it means editing the original built-in dynamic stamp file. It is much better to create your own stamp categories.
You also need to restart Acrobat after creating the dynamic stamp file.

    Pages 5.52 does not open my custom templates from previous versions?
    Pages freezes and I have to force quit
    Whats happening

    Pages v5 (including v5.5.2) lacks about 100+ features found in Pages '09 v4.3. When Pages v5 encounters unsupported content in Pages '09 (or very early Pages v5) templates, it communicates this to you as an application freeze. As Pages '09 v4.3 runs on Yosemite, and you may still have it in /Applications/iWork '09, you may want to use it instead. Recreating templates is not the best use of your time.

  • To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?

    To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?
    I had two laptops stolen and the reinstall is a real pain. This also applies to reformats and changeovers to Windows 7, etcetera.

    Windows 7? Then don't waste your life minutes fumbling with an Acrobat 8 - Windows 7 combination.
    If you are to be using Win 7 you'll need the current release of Acrobat (XI). "X" will function but it is no longer marketed by Adobe.
    Be well...

  • Can I import Events and Projects from previous versions of iMovie

    I just installed the latest version of iMovie - but I have a bunch of projects, events, etc. from previous version - going way back.  Is there a way to move those items into the new version.

    Yes.  File - Update Projects and Events.  Your iMovie 9 folders will still be available.  (I would not delete any iMovie 9 stuff untill you are happy with iMovie 10 - its quite different.)

  • Delayed response of when moving objects in diagram and panel, happend in LV 6, only for vi's compiled from previous versions. any suggestions?

    When I using the mouse to select portion of the diagram or the panel, or when I moving objects- I found that in all the vi's that I compiled from former versions of labview- there is a delay of close to a second to the actual selection or movement of the item. This happens in 2 machines out of 5 that I tested it, and it happened both in windows 2000 and in windows 98. any suggestions?

    Sometimes a video driver issue. Update your video driver.
    Or turn down the video driver hardware acceleration. Right-click an
    empty area of the desktop, choose the Settings tab, choose the Advanced
    button.
    The location of this differs in different versions of Windows.
    Win2000: go to Troubleshooting, and turn down the slider for hardware
    acceleration.
    Win98: I think it's on another tab.

  • Bring back lost Creation types from previous versions of Elements?

    I would like to see some of the Creation types from previous versions of Elements that appear to have been lost in the lastest verions reinstated - either within the product or as downloadable options. Specifically I use the 'Album Pages / Seasons' creations in PE4 a lot but looking through a download of PE7 they are no longer there.
    If this can be addressed it would also help me enormously to be able to repeat text boxes on each page (same text, font & position) on each page in just the way I already can with headers and footers.
    Any support for this type of thing?

  • Adobe Supplied Templates from previous versions.

    does anyone know where i can find Adobe-supplied templates from previous versions of AI?
    i used a swatch for a client graphic and have since lost the laptop it was on. Am now in cs5 and think the swatch was from cs2 or 3.
    searching this (or any site) for templates, AI CS2/3, not getting me far.
    any help much appreciated.

  • I cannot recover back up's from previous versions?? Really??

    Every time I try to recover back ups from previous versions of iPhoto, it crashes as it doesn't see the image as a jpg file. Any suggestions? These photo's are an invaluable part of my business!!

    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.  Now insert the disc in the optical drive and try copying photos from the disc library into the new library.  If you can then that means you current library is damaged.
    If that's the case then make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Reconnect from previous versions of pse

    I accidently deleted some files where  photos are stored. Can I somehow reconnect from previous versions of pse that are backed up on cd's. I am running pse 11.

    You can copy the photos to your computer from your backups and PSE Organizer will find them automatically if you put them in the correct folder which your current configuration knows about it.
    You just need to copy the photos and organizer can do the rest.
    Good luck.

  • Does iDVD have all the themes from previous versions?

    If I were to get a new iMac with iLife '08 installed will I have all the themes from previous versions of iDVD? Can someone with a new iMac and an older machine with iLife '06 & 05 confirm?
    If the are not all there can I move them over and hopefully iLife '08 iDVD will convert them?

    My upgrade yesterday maintained all previous themes.
    I recall reading this week that you could get old themes from Apple if needed. Don't know if that's a download or snail mail request.
    I don't see anything about that here:

  • Directory for "Save as" from previous version

    When opening an InDesign document from a previous version, the "Save" command brings up the "Save As", asking to verify overwrite. Understandable, no issue with that.
    However, I'm wondering if there is a way to have the "Save As" location default to the directory of the original document opened?
    I have hundreds of InDesign documents saved in various directories for customer accounts. It's really annoying that every time I upgrade to the latest CS, I have to "Save As", then go looking for the original document to overwrite.
    Any ideas?

    You can delete the whole SQL Developer\systemXXX folder under the (hidden) Application Data of your Windows user profile. This will reset all settings to default and ask for migration.
    Have fun,

  • Migrating Presets from previous versions

    There was chat about this an other thread, but I can't find it now.  Someone mentioned that their Topaz plugins all worked, and as I'm betting the beta will be the primary version of Photoshop for most of us ntil the final release, it does make sense to get it fully functional.
    The Topaz plugins install from an .exe file with Windows, but a quick hunt round found that it puts shortcuts to a central installation at:
    and
    So it was just a matter of copying the shortcuts to the same folders in CS6 (without mixing up the 32bit and 64bit versions like I did first time I tried.)
    I was also lookijng for my Type DNA plugin, but the migration process had worked fine, and it was there in Adobe Extension Manager CS6 (Start > All programs), but needed to be Enabled.  After that it appeared in Window > Extensions, and launched as per my custom workspace which had carried over from CS5.   A big thanks to the development team.  It's little touches like an easy migration of previous version settings that make all the difference.

    This comment brought something to my mind...
    At the moment I have Photoshop CS6 beta installed in a VMware virtual machine.  As a rule I *don't* install beta software on my production host environment, because stability is supremely important to me (I rely on this system to do a tremendous number of things, and it's rock solid).
    Photoshop CS6 beta works surprisingly well in the VM, but not every GPU feature is available because the virtualized display driver environment simply doesn't provide as much capability as a real display driver on real hardware.  I do see enough GPU support to know that Photoshop CS6 is doing a fine job, and it seems quite stable.
    What I can't really tell is how well it's going to work on my host system, with ATI Radeon HD 5670 video card.  I could be unpleasantly surprised when I install it and find that there's some driver glitch that keeps things from working even as well as I've seen in the VM.
    But at the moment I'm torn...
    Do I go ahead and install the beta on my host system, and chance breaking something, but have more information about any potential bugs so I can be prepared for the release?  Perhaps I could supply such information to Adobe and/or ATI and get them working on a fix?
    Do I wait, and just deal with any issues when it's released, knowing I will still have Photoshop CS5 to drop back to for important work, and conceivably could continue using CS6 in a VM even then.
    This is just a risk management issue for one who wants to have his cake and eat it too. 
    At the moment I'm still slightly tipped toward just waiting for the release and continuing as I am now.  It's a philosophy that has worked remarkably well.

  • Aperture 3.4.5 - update from previous version not working

    Hi, I have updated Aperture to 3.4.5 via the App Store update and now it won't startup correctly.  I get this...
    I started with Aperture 2 via disk install and then upgrade to V3 via the App store, all other updates have worked fine.
    Any ideas guys?
    I can use Time Macjine to go back a version and get things working again but this is preventing any further updates and enhancements from being applied.
    Thanks.

    In previous versions of Aperture it helped to trash it and to install it again from the App Store (don't empty the Trash), when Aperture was asking for the serial number.
    I don't know, however, if it will still help with the new AP 3.5.
