Applying unique dynamic stamp to every page

I am trying to add a dynamic stamp to the bottom of every page (over 70,000 pages) that has the name of the file on the stamp, and also is able to apply a number on that stamp. I am able to get the stamp to apply to every page, but it is not grabbing my filename. My bigger issue is seeing if it is even possible for adobe to increment the number of the stamp for each page that it applies a stamp to i.e. AA.001, AA.002, AA.003, BB.001, BB.002 etc.
i am on acrobat X pro

Batch Stamp add on worked for me!

Displaying dynamic data on every page of standard text

Hi All,
I m using standard text (created in SO10) in smartform . I want to display dynamic data on the top of every page of standard text.
Displaying the dynamic data is not the problem, but how would i know where is page finished(or started) as Preview in SO10 may not look the same as smartform output.
I dont want to do this manually by adjusting the size of window. Is there any other way to do the same??
Vanita.

Try to create a text in your SF and write the dynamic data.
To know in which page use &SFSY-PAGE&
this system fields may also be helpful for dynamic text on each page
&SFSY-COPYCOUNT0&   "COPY COUNTER( 0 = ORIGINAL, 1 = 1st COPY)
&SFSY-COPYCOUNT&   "COPY COUNTER( 1 = ORIGINAL, 2 = 1st COPY)
Still you can called DYNAMIC text through your standard text.. but place your conditions.
Regards,
SaiRam

Stamps in the same place on every page

Lets say we have a 10 page electrical wiring diagram document. On each page there's space for our client's logo and address. As a service, we are now thinking of adding that logo and address before we print the document and send it to our client. I know how to add stamps, but I can't figure out how to place the stamp on just one page, and then automatically have it placed in the exact same place on all pages. Is that possible? Do I have to place the stamp on every page manually? Then they will not end up in the same position every time!
This is quite urgent. If anybody has a solution, please let me know.
I have Acrobat Professional 8
Lena

We do something similar using Batch Processing. The stamp is placed on a blank page PDF in the position we want it to appear on the document. We then run a Batch process that opens the file, adds the watermark (the PDF file containing the placed stamp, flattens the layers, and prints the file. We don't save but there is an option to save the file with the stamp on when you set up the batch process.
Setting up the Batch Process can take a moment, especially making sure the stamp will appear where you want it, but it makes things very easy once you have it set up.

Adding custom stamps to many pages in white space.

Is there any way to add a custom stamp to every page of a PDF book and having it placed into the white space on the document? I have found a script that will do every thing except for the 'white space' part of my query, so I don't think I will have much luck.
Watermarks will probably not work in this instance, the stamp needs to be noticible but not in the way, and the watermark will encouter the same placement problem (as it is preferable if the stamp/watermark is not getting the in way of the drawing pdf's content).
Any help will be appreciated, just let me know if you need more clarification.

The question is what do you mean by "white space"? Is it always the same area on the page (like a 2" margin), or is it a different location for each page, where there happens to be no text or images? The former is possible, the latter only partially, and is very difficult to implement with a script.

RH11 applied template to every page

I opened my online help this morning, and RH11 has applied the template to every page in the file, so I now have a duplicate template when I generate. I need to fix this fast as I have a deadline - I don't know how this happened, but how do I fix it? (IE10, Responsive HTML5).
Here's a small shot of what it is doing:

That's a new one! Haven't seen it happen in the northern hemisphere.
Have you modified the layout in any way? If you have, go to Screen Layouts in Project Setup and create a new Responsive Layout and do not modfiy it. Also create a new SSL layout and use the new Responsive Layout in that. Does the problem still occur?

How do I create a text box or form field on the top of every page of a pdf in XI Pro for titles?

I generate pdf content from another program and then in Acrobat XI Pro I want to add titles to each page.
I'm thinking I can use form fileds and duplicate across all pages but how do I make each form filed unique?
Or could i add a form field to a background and then apply the background to every page in the pdf?
thanks.

This type of thing is probably best done with a script, either by adding a uniquely named field to each page or by spawing a template page that contains just the form field (like your last idea). There's not a built-in method for doing this. If you add a blank page to the beginning of the document, create the field in the location you want, and make the page a template, you can run the following script in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate("Field");
// Spawn the template on each page, automatically renaming the fields
for (var i = 1; i < numPages; i += 1) {
t.spawn({nPage: i, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
To run the code, select it all in the console and press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad.
To make a page a template in Acrobat 11, make sure you're on the page you want to make a template and select: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates
and enter a name. I used a name of "Field" in the example above, but you can use anything.
To create a blank page, you can use the following script:
newPage({nPage: 0, nWidth: 8.5 * 72, nHeight: 11 * 72});
for an 8.5"x11" page. Adjust the numbers to match whatever your page size is. It will be added to the beginning of the document and you can then add the field and make it a template. Once the fields have been added, you can remove the template page.

HOW TO CREATE A DYNAMIC STAMP ON ACROBAT X PRO????????

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CREATE A CUSTOM DYNAMIC STAMP ON ADOBE ACROBAT X PRO, I CAN EASILY CREATE A STAMP FROM A pdf FILE BUT WHEN TRYING TO INSERT A TEXT OR CHECK BOXES THEY DO NOT GET ATTACHED TO MY NEWLY CREATED STAMP WHEN I SELECT THAT STAMP ON THE STAMPS PALETE, PLEASE HELP AS ADOBE ACROBAT ONLINE SUPPORT EXEMPT THEMSELVES FROM SUPPORTING WHAT THEY CALLED "OLDER VERSIONS"

If you need the kind of advanced dynamic stamp that it seems you want, one that prompts you for data to include in the stamp just prior to it being applied to the page, it will require JavaScript. In particular, it will likely best be done with a custom dialog, which requires some rather arcane scripting. I usually advise folks in your position to find someone to do this for you, at least for the first stamp. Feel free to send a PM if you'd like professional help.
The following book has more information about custom stamps, but lacks much information about the type of dynamic stamp that you're wanting to create: http://www.amazon.com/About-Stamps-Acrobat%C2%AE-Paperless-Workflows/dp/0985614706
That last part isn't a criticism of the book, which is very good. Custom dialogs are complicated, and using them with stamps adds more complication, so the subject really needs a book of its own to be handled thoroughly.

Dynamic Stamps from Database Tables

I'm the librarian for a small custom publisher, and we use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to produce products for academic instructors, and MS Excel (2007) to generate and store metadata for each selection/file (sometimes thousands of selections in a batch). Part of our production process requires placing a "credit line" stamp on the first page of each selection, which includes content which resides only in the Excel sheet (source citation info, and the page range of each selection, among other elements). We currently copy and paste this data manually from Excel to a text box on the PDF, which, given the volume of selections to process, simply won't work in the long run.
I'm wondering if it's possible for an Acrobat plugin or script to read from a database table (Excel, or some other format if need be), and dynamically apply credit line text to a given filename. I've been researching a few different methods, including batch processing of dynamic stamps and a couple commercial plugins, but so far nothing which explicitly addresses this issue. I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Well, we have been in product development for past dozen years. In my humble opinion, we know a thing are two about product design. But thanks for your inputs though.
Obviously you are not doing so well with this "design"... Just sayin'... :) :)
You seems to be expert in the application/product design. Have you ever heard of "user data mashup" concept in data warehousing? Just curious.
"user mashup" would indicate that the user actually controls how this is done. You, as a "product" will be making some [potentially very bad] assumptions about the end-user data that cannot be accounted for in a "canned" product. You can influence how it is done, but, in the end, does it meet the exact business needs of the end-user.
you could possibly use some PL/SQL packages to
1) get all of the tables
2) get all of the columns.
3) do the mashup.
Now a question. Let's say table1 and table3 have (col1 + col2) that are the same and column3 is different. What do you put in column3?? or is this another row.

Question regarding the creation of a custom dynamic stamp using "Will Print" from "Set Doc. Actions

Hi all,
Using Acrobat 9.0 Professional, I have successfully created a dynamic stamp using the forums where I have added Login / Date to my own image and it works great as designed. However, the problem I am having is that when a document is stamped it becomes flat and doesn't update dynamically which does not work for my requirements.
I need to create a pdf that is stamped by myself so that other users (using only Reader) can open the pdf and when printed the stamp will print with the correct date/time (in the format I describe below).
I found a workaround (outside of a stamp) where I added a text box (called "Today") that updates everytime the document is printed by going to
Advanced / Document Processing / Set Document Actions / Document Will Print
and adding the following Java Code:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
This provides me with the unique number that I need for printing (ie: 20100317102030). It works great as an inserted text field on my pdf.
My problem is that when I use the "create custom stamp" as in other tutorials by inserting this new text field, it will not update (or display) on print, even though it was set the exact same way as the custom stamp I got working using the Adobe dynamic stamp information.
Can you offer any advice on how I can get this to work as a custom stamp? I would rather not have to create both a stamp and then overlay the text field manually as I have hundreds of documents (maybe more) to do this for.
Also, as an aside, if I could get this to work, I would also like to add Login ID that updates in the same manner as my custom date format (but one problem at a time I guess! )
Thanks for any and all help that you can provide. I looked through these forums and elsewhere, but I don't seem to see anyone else with the same problems (with solutions posted).
I really wish Adobe had a Custom Stamp creator as part of their program, with the dynamic option. It would be so easy for them and save a lot of users so much time.

Stamps are just like a inked rubber stamp, except in Acrobat you can suppress printing them and you can move them. So if you use a dated "Faxed" stamp when you fax a document, even though you can adjust the stamp before affixing the stamp, once the document is stamped the date on the document can not be changed or moved. It appears, that the use of a stamp might not be the best solution.
"Interactive" means Acrobat JavaScript programing.
With JavaScript not only can you insert variable data but also fixed text strings or a combination of both.
So your script could be updated to something like:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = "Printed : " + util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1333261#1333261
Getting the 'login name" will require some special JavaScript code being added to an application level JavaScript folder that runs upon initialization and is the data or function created is then accessed by your PDF. This file will need to be installed on each user's system.

How to insert company logo and page number on every page except the first page?

Hi, I am creating a newspaper and I've inserted the page number and company name on every page using the master page (you know the basic method).
Problem is I don't want the page number or the logo to appear on the first page, how can I do this?
Or will I have to copy and paste it on each page instead...? I'd rather not.
I'd appreciate any help I can get.
P.S. I'm using CS5 and obviously I'm talking about InDesign.

Make another master and apply it to the first page.
Take care, Mike

Adobe Form Repeat a Subform Every Page

Hello Adobe Forum,
I'm an SAP user and am creating an Adobe form (my first). I posted this in an SAP forum, but have yet to receive any feedback whatsoever so I thought it may be better to go to the Adobe experts themselves. I've run into an Adobe issue and am just spinning and spinning trying different techniques to make it work. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
In my content area I have three subforms. The first subform is positioned, the fields have to be placed correctly. The second subform is fundamentally a table header for the third subform, which is the rows of the data. All three subforms are wrapped in another subform that is flowed.
Why would I do it like this? Well, the table in the third subform has control levels so it merges like rows nicely in this way when the first column rows are the same...
So the first page of my document would look like this...which is what I want.
H is repeated for every page. So it is on the Master page. That's easy.
1 is the 'sub-header' and should only be on the first page. This works.
2 looks like a header for the table, but is really it's own table because of formatting requirements and the values are dynamic. It looks nice, but shows up only on page one.
3 is the data table. It works great too.
Page one looks great. Page two looks like this... I can't get part 2 from above to repeat for every new page.
I have tried numerous approaches, but nothing seems to work. I really need to stick with the control levels, and that keeps me from having one nice table with a header that repeats. Perhaps I've approached this fundamentally wrong?
Here is my layout in case that helps at all explain my issue. I truly appreciate any help, this is the last hurdle on my form and then it's done. I'm sure a seasoned Adobe person may quickly see the err of my ways.
Thanks,
Greg

Not a solution I'm very fond of, but it works. I created a second page and put the table header on the master page there and moved the content area down a bit. I'd still like to force the subform to simply repeat, but I've got to move on.

Replace a paragraph format with another in the every page

I am doing some cleanup before exporting and I don't know much about FrameMaker....
I want to replace the paragraph format ABC with XYZ in every page, how would I do this?
I also have a paragraph format I want to delete and make it just a Normal paragraph in every page, I image it will be the same process as 1?
Your help is appreciated

Try this …
make a back-up just in case
find a paragraph with the style you want to apply (XYZ, in your example)
select Edit > Copy special > Paragraph formatthis copies the format to the clipboard
open the Find/Change dialogue
put the cursor in a paragraph using the format you want to replace (ABC in your example) and select Paragraph tag from the Find pulldownif you're in luck, FM may well read the current format from the cursor position; if not, type it in
select By pasting from the the Change pulldown
click [Change] to see whether the result is what you expect
click [Change all] once you're feeling confident
Use the same technique to replace all occurrences of the style you want to delete (PQR, f'r instance) with another style, then delete PQR using the paragraph designer

Dynamic tables on one page - overflow problem with repeating header/footer

Hi,
with the help of the user RADZMAR I was able to create dynamic tables..
But now, I have got the next problem.
2 different tables are placed on 1 page.Each of them should be dynamic.
Please let me list what is working, and what not:
each textfield should be expandable (-> working)
Table 01 should be overflowing to page 02 (-> working)
Table 02 should be overflowing to page 02 (->working)
Table 02 should be scrolling to page 02 if tabele 01 is growing (->working)
Table 01 and Table 02 should be splittable (->working)
header 02 + the footer 02 ( from table 02) should be repeated on every page (->working)
header 02 + the footer 02 ( from table 02) should not be stand alone, indepentenly on which page (-> NOT WORKING)
In other words:
How can I reach, that the header and the footer enclose at least ONE textfield-row ?
The setting "keep with previous / following" did not helped me.
If the text in table 02 is large, the settings "keep with..." cause some layout destructions.
This is the screenshot of the problem:

Thanks and Greetings

Your question was "... but the font on the footer is much larger than that of the template", yes?
I only can repeat, look at the difference of:
1. index.html (Font-size > medium) >
2. Calendar.html (Font-size > no entry):
> "... font on the footer is much larger than that of the template",

P.S.
See us again - maybe - at Monday > we will do a nice little trip to Austria.

Adding a background image to every page.

Problem: I am attempting to add a company logo (.jpg) file to a multipage PDF document. I know I can add the logo as a stamp but I need the logo to be on every page in the same position and with the same size. I was hoping that using it as a watermark would be the answer but I can't seem to get it to work. It would be great to be able to add it in the header section but it is not an option either (so I think). Please let me know if there is any tricks I can learn to accomplish what I am seeking to do. I would be willing to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X if needed.
Background: I am running Mac OS X (10.6.7) and Adobe Pro 9. The issue I am running into involves a file in Microsoft Excel 2008 that contains multiple pages of spread sheets and charts/graphs. In Excel, I add the company logo to the header section and it shows up on all pages. When I go to print out the document some of the pages need to "Shrink to fit" and when they shrink so does the logo. Ok, take the logo out of those pages, done. Next, on the pages that have graphs and visual charts the logo appears on the computer but is hidden behind the visual graphic when you save as a PDF.
That said, I have a well functioning PDF but after saving from Excel only some of the pages have the company logo on them while the others do not. I need to have the logo on all pages in order to send as a digital version (company requires it). My only solution right now is to print out the pages (not containing company logo) on pre-printed paper containing the logo and then scan those pages back in digitally and add them back into my PDF document. Not only is this method time consuming but it also cuts up the PDF into a on OCRed type of PDF.
Can't wait to hear your replies on this one!
I really appreciate your help. Feel free to contact me directly or via the forum with any questions.
Best,
Brent

Boy that makes a lot of sense. There must be something up with my file in regards to adding a watermark. When I have my document open in Adobe Acrobat 9 and I try to add a watermark I receive the following error.
"An error was encountered while retrieving page content."
I open a different document that I don't care to add the watermark to and it opens fine. I think your answer to use watermarks is spot on. I need to see if Adobe Acrobat X will allow me to add a watermark to my file.

Dynamic text based on page number

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to place a dynamic text on an hrform. The form is displaying wage types and when there are more than 2 pages, the values on the first page need to be summerized into a variable with the text subtotal in front of it. When we are on the last page, the text total with the total of all the wagetypes needs to be displayed. I tried to use the sfsy-page and sfsy-formpages variables to know on which page i am but the strange thing is that when i use in in program lines and i use debugger to look into the variable i get this:
First page:
sfsy-page = 1
sfsy-formpages = 1
Second page:
sfsy-page = 2
sfsy-formpages = 2
But when i place it into a text element to test i get 1 of 2 on page one and 2 of 2 on page two. How is this possible?
Also i want to display a subtotal of the displayed wagetypes per page. Anyone an idea how i can do that?
Thank you!
Lars

Hi,
The reason you get 1-1 ,2-2 in debugging is because, the pages are added dynamically,depending on the length of your main window.Which doesnt get captured initially,but can be used in text element.
As far as totalling on every page and at the last page is concerned ,try teh following link:
