Acrobat stamp tool!

Hello Guys,
Good day!
I have a small question to know if it is possible. In acrobat 'STAMP' tool is great option. I use often this tool. I would like to know, if there is any possibility to scale the stamp to certain value. For example I want to scale 150% current stamp. How can I do this?
currently I am scaling the stamp manually. But if there is possibility to give certain value, that would be helpful to me.
For your information: i use my own stamps (not from the default adobe). OSX 10.7.2. Acrobat X.
Please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
FroQ

It's possible with JavaScript to add a custom toolbar button to Acrobat. When clicked, the button would execute the code that does what you want. What you want will involve some moderately complicated scripting, so it can't really be fully explained here. If you're not familiar with scripting for Acrobat, you might want to look for someone who can do this for you if you think the developement cost would be worth the benefit.
I can't think of another way to do what you want short of a custom plug-in, but that would be a much bigger project.

Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp - Acrobat X

My issue is pretty much what the title says. Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp. According to the Help screens and training videos, it should. I've checked Edit > Prefernces and could not find a setting that adjusted this behavior of the Stamp tool. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? BTW - It's not just my installation of Acrobat X. Other users at my firm are having the same issue. The OS is Windows 7. Users have administrator rights. Thanks in advance.

Hello Abhilasha,
So, what your saying is that this function, the ability to select the most recently used stamp by clicking the stamp tool, has been removed, in spite of the fact that Acrobat's Help pages says it can be done (Using Acrobat X Standard > Collaboration > Commenting > Apply a Stamp > Step 1 > Second bullet). I wish they would put it back. It was quite handy.
Perhaps I should adjust my request. Do you (or anyone else) know of a way to use the same stamp several times in a row without having to choose the stamp from the stamps list? For example, if you needed to put a check-mark stamp in several places in a document, it would be a pain to have to go back to the list each time. Is there perhaps an undocumented feature (maybe holding down a particular key while using the stamp) that would allow for multiple stamping?
Thank you,
Phillip

Enable Stamp Tool in PDF Form Created in LiveCycle

I've created a form in LiveCycle to send to users for their own use in completing/saving using Acrobat Reader. Is it possible to enable the use of the stamp tool for their use within the PDF form? Or, alternately, can I embed an image field in the LiveCycle form that would allow them to click to add an image to the form?
Thank you ......

There is an image Field object that will allow you to click it and choose an image.

Stamp tool Paste clipboard image as stamp is greyed out & not selectable -

Stamp tool Paste clipboard image as stamp - This command is greyed out & not selectable - I have copied an image to the clipboard Acrobat X v10.1.4 o OS X 10.7.4 Lion does not find it. Under OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard it worked
Has anyone else got this working with OSX 10.7.4 Lion with Acrobat X ?- Its a consistent problem for me on both my MacBookPro & IMac computers

Exactly, that feature was so valuable for me in previous versions. I am not sure why someone who sells something would eliminate a feature that customers use. What person made that call? They are probably working at Microsoft now making those "great products" (though I do like Excel, but only because they haven't changed it, esentially, for years...of course, how much can you really change a calculator?).
Please fix this Adobe...I would be your biggest fan

Removing "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" from toolbar

Somehow the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" button appeared on my Comment & Markup toolbar, and I can't remove it. Also, when I go to Tool > Comment & Markup > Stamps > the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" option is always dim, as if it's already selected, but the other options such as "Dynamic" and "Sign Here" are bold, allowing you to select them by clicking on them. I'm not trying to make the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" bold so I can select it, I'm just saying this to help someone figure out why I can't remove the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" button from my Comment & Markup toolbar. Thank you.

Likely that you activated the clipboard by copying something like an image from Photoshop or Illustrator and did this while Acrobat was open. If nothing is in your clipboard the option will be dimmed, otherwise it will be colorful and allow you to paste into the PDF.

Stamp Tool?

I'm trying to figure out if the stamp tool is the best way to do the following:
I need a repeatable "stamp" that I can add to a document, then edit or add text to.
I need to fill in the blanks in several area, as well as X in one of several tick boxes.
I have been able to make a stamp with the correct info, but don't know how to add editable text and check boxes.
Any suggestions?
Using Acrobat Pro 9.5.0

The usual way to do this is to use a custom JavaScript-based dialog to prompt the user for this information just prior to the stamp being placed. Setting up custom dialogs can be complicated, so there's is a learning curve involved. The best and most complete information is available at the subscription site http://www.pdfscripting.com. This is run by Thom Parker, who has also posted a lot of tutorials at http://www.pdfscripting.com. Of particular interest for you is this: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamic_stamp_secrets
If you don't want to pursue custom dialogs, you can prompt the user for information using a series of app.response dialogs. More information here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/alert-response-and-other-popup-windows-in-acrobat-javasc ript
There is also a good amount of information on this subject that you can glean from the old forums at acrobatusers.com. Just do a google search and include the following: site:acrobatusers.com. For example:

How to add a submenu to the Stamp tool button?

Hi,
I'm a developer who wants to create a plugin for Acrobat X. I don't have any experience with the Adobe SDK, but I did read the plugin developers guide.
I have several questions about adding a submenu to Comment->Annotations->Stamp tool.
1. Is it possible, because here http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/what-developers-need-to-know-about-acrobat-x it states the entire commenting pane is inaccessible?
2. If it's possible, then what are the internal names of the Annotations toolbar and the Stamp tool button?
Can any of you help me with this?

As stated in #1, that remains true.
You would be better served to create your own Stamp menu. That's what a number of developers have done over the years to address this requirement.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Try this:
Open your picture file
Access the clone stamp tool
Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
TIPS:
It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
Let us know how you make out with the error message now.

"Could not use the clone stamp tool because of a program error". How to fix this fault?

When I try to use the Clone Stamp Tool I am met with the message shown above. I have tried in all the ways I could find to beat this: different photos, switched the computer off and on again, run a de-bugging program through it (Advanced System Care 5 Pro) and Microsoft's own stuff. The problem exists solidly and, without one of its most important picture repair tools Photoshop is pretty much useless.
I have just set this new Photoshop Elements 10 program up on my Windows 7 (64) laptop. I have plenty of memory and a large enough hard drive; the machine is fairly new, stable and does not usually suffer from programming problems. I have found nothing on any of the Adobe Forums, or in other sites, to give me a hint as to what has caused the problem other than a bad program disk. My first conclusion was that I should reinstall the program, but it appears that I will then lose one of my two registration rights, that strikes me as being ridiculous as reinstallation is surely the most logical thing to do with a potentially faulty program disk! But I would have to uninstall to reinstall, and that's when the the second registration cuts in I am advised. I have tried every way I can think of to beat this to no avail. I'll be truly grateful if someone can help me out on this. Thank you!

Thanks guys! I'm afraid that I'm still not sure: I've been told that uninstalling - after of course deactivating - amounts to a life gone... Yet according to the set of licence rules Adobe has, you're allowed to copy programs in a mirror image which, of course, would be used for a clean wipe - and surely that contradicts their set of rules? The rules seem to imply that that would be okay: no life lost. My concern is that through no fault of my own I have what appears to be a duff program; it's out of warranty now (my fault - I didn't install it until I could buy a more heavy-duty laptop). If the rule is "two-strikes-and-your-out, then I lose my last reactivation after THIS installation. I will get in touch with Adobe - but I live in the UK, and therein lies the problem: the equivalent of $39 dollars for the chat and whatever else it might cost is off-putting to me I'm afraid. If I could find out whether or not Adobe has a patch or something I would be a lot more happy about it all - the reinstallation after all may NOT cure the problem and I'd be stuck with a bunch of coffee cup coasters! Hey, ho...

Photoshop CS5 Clone Stamp Tool option-click just stopped working, why?

I've been using clone stamp tool option-click (healing brush option-click also) on Photoshop CS5 on my Mac 10.6.5 and it stopped working suddenly on Monday. Had just used it on Sunday. So, I've tried to isolate the problem.
1. Went to Apple store and my keyboard and mouse work fine on their inhouse systems running Photosochop CS5. Problem still exists on home system.
2. Adobe photoshop suggested I go back to Mac 10.6.3. I did and problem still exits.
3. Reset all presets in CS5. Problem still exists.
4. Spent several hours with Adobe Photoshop tech on phone -- he couldn't make it work remotely either using his keyboard. Reloaded Photoshop from scratch. Problem still exists.
Question:
Could this be a hardware problem? Graphic board problem?
Or is this a software problem aside from Mac OS and CS5?

Hi Joan
It sounds like you are not having fun at all : )
>I talked with a for fee Mac guru today who says I need to wipe slate clean and install operating system from scratch since I did not use time machine.
.....you ever notice how easy it is for a consultant to tell you what to do when they don't have to do it?
..... I wonder why the guru thought your system was gone if your new user account was working?
If your new user account is working.... why not use it? The system seems fine but something went screwy with the settings in your original account.
hopefully someone else will chime in here with more insight before you start from scratch.

Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

PSE6 crashes when using Clone Stamp tool

Hi! I'm new to PSE and have a standard install of 6.0 - no addons. I've been using the editor for just a couple of days now, but I have experience with other graphic editors.
I've just started using the Clone Stamp tool. I've cut out a background from a photo, put it into a new file using New>From Clipboard, and am using the Clone Stamp tool to paint background over the edges of the cut.
So, start Photoshop in edit mode, open picture (.psd created above), select clone stamp tool, right-click and select 100 pixel brush from default palette, place brush some way away from the edge and Alt-click to set "From" point, then move the brush next to edge, click, and start painting over the edge. All OK. Now, move the brush to the right-edge of the picture and start painting so the edge of the brush goes outside the picture a little. This is where it crashes for me. It may be that it's actually the from area that is outside the picture that causes the problem.
Does anyone else get this problem?
Now I'm going back to try again taking great care along the right-hand edge to try and stop it crashing!
Alan

Hi Alan,
is it still crashing for you? I tried the same steps and works fine for me. Are you working on Windows/Mac?

Problem using the clone stamp tool in cs6 64 bit

I am trying to use the clone stamp tool, however each time I alt click on a PC runing system 7- 64 bit and try to clone an area, I get a window stating that I have not defined an area. Alt clicking again does not solve the problem. I work in a computer lab and this option works fine on our Macs using option click in PS CS6.

If »Show Overlay« is checked in the Clone Source Panel is the cursor showing the source imagery?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?
