Custom Stamp Name Display in Acrobat X?

Our organization relies heavily on the usage of the Stamp tool, we have over 100 custom stamps created which enables us to be a paperless environment. Here's the problem, in the new Acrobat X, Adobe removed the "names" of the custom stamps in the drop down. So now you only see the stamp instead of the name. We have some very large stamps, and some that are very similar but are used in completely different cases. Does anyone know if it is possible to show the names of the custom stamps in Acrobat X? This is such a huge deal to us, we won't be able to use any new versions of Acrobat unless this is possible!

Acrobat does not, or at least it didn't, execute doc level scripts in a
stamp file. So something else is needed.
SeattleUser, I the stampName needs to be specified at all, since the script
doesn't need to work for a specific stamp, but rather all stamps when not
being placed. How about this code?
event.target.hidden = event.source.forReal;

Customizing PDF Profile Display in Acrobat 9

We have 20+ interns who don't have too much PDF experience, so we use custom preflight profiles to expedite the editing process. They're really simple and not as intense as many of the default profiles, so anything that doesn't get fixed with the custom profiles comes to me and I either fix them in Acrobat or take them into PitStop. By only giving them the custom profiles to view, we eliminate any possible mistakes from choosing the wrong Preflight Profile.
Anyways, I was wondering if there's a way to set up the default view in the Preflight Panel to show "Favorites" only?!? You can select to show your favorites in the drop-down list, but I would like to have it show only the favorites by default.
Anyone know if this is possible? If not, is there an easy way to remove all of the other profiles, so our options are limited to just the favorites - which we'd place under a new "Profile Set" heading?
Thanks for any feedback!

Michael,
Thanks for the response! However, I was actually wondering if there's a way to set it to view "Favorites" by default so whenever you open a new PDF or Acrobat from scratch, it shows your favorites as the default profiles - notthing else.
It's really not that big of a deal, but again, we're just seeing if there are ways to limit our interns' options when running through this part of our process. In the meantime, I've created our own set of Profiles and Fixups under a new custom set that they can choose from. We just hoped that we could turn all the other options "off" by defaulting to viewing Favorites when you open up Acrobat and the Preflight Panel.
Thanks

Script to Insert a Custom Stamp/Annotation

Hello,
I have created a new custom stamp and need to add a script to "Batch Processing" to insert this stamp on 1,000 drawings.
The sample script available from the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference inserts a stamp from the "Standard" Stamp File.
The standard stamp file is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps\ENU\Standard.pdf
The script needs to be modified to insert a stamp from a custom stamp menu called "Doc Control" and the custom stamp name is "Received".
The actual file which contains the custom stamp is located in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Stamps\Doc Control.pdf
Please find below the script which needs revising to include the new custom stamp.
var annot = this.addAnnot({
page: 0,
type: "Stamp",
name: "myStamp", rect: [400, 400, 550, 500],
contents: "Received Stamp!",
AP: "NotApproved" }); This part of the script needs revising to refer to the new custom stamp not the stamp in the standard stamp file?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated - Thank you.

The AP property needs to be set to the Name of the stamp. When the stamp is created Acrobat automatically assigns it a stamp name. Not the name of the annotation when the stamp is placed, but a name for the stamp itself. See this article to figure out what this name is:

Transfer Custom Stamp to New Computer

I am currently using Acrobat Pro 9 Extended. A long time ago I created two custom stamps for my Adobe Acrobat on my work computer. I want to get the same stamps onto my home computer. I am hoping that I can somehow just export the stamps and then import them into the home computer. It has been so long I would hate to have to remake them. I have not been able to firgure out if this is possible. I assume the stamps are in a file somewhere in the Adobe program files but cannot identify what it would be? Can anyone help? Thanks

You can find the location both of the possible locations by opening the JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) and executing both of these lines of code:
app.getPath("user", "stamps");
app.getPath("app", "stamps");
Place the cursor on the first line and press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad. Do the same of the next line. Your custom stamp file will likely be in the first location.

How to organize custom stamps in stamp pallette?

Is there a way to organize the stamps in the custom stamps pallette? I've added 20 custom stamps to the stamp pallette and I named the stamps consistently. However, the stamps seem to be organized in the pallette in the order that they were imported. I'd like to have the stamps organized or grouped alphabetically in the stamp pallette based on each custom stamp name. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
dlee388

Not exactly. After the stamp is applied it's flat and can't be edited. However, you can add form fields to the stamp template and have them edited just before it is applied, using a script that prompts the user to enter the values. This is called a "dynamic stamp" and creating it ranges from quite easy to very complicated, depending on the amount of type of data the user should enter.
If you're interested I could develop such a stamp for you, or you could try to do it yourself... There's plenty of information about it here and there's even an entire book about the subject by Thom Parker.

Custom Stamp displays correct in reader but fails in acrobat

Our company has a rather old work ticket form which our technicians have been filling out on their laptops for years. I believe it was originally created in lifecycle designer 6 but don't quote me on that. The issue is that when the form is opened in any version of Adobe Reader, it displays correctly and the letter head with the company name and address is properly displayed at the top of the page. However when you open the same document in acrobat you can see that someone used a custom stamp to redo our address on this form when we moved several years ago and the stamp does not display correctly.
Additionally if a user edits the file in anyway with acrobat and saves it the improperly displayed letterhead becomes permanent and also shows up when trying to view that file from adobe reader. Can anyone tell me whats going on and how to fix this issue?

That is a static XFA form and it appears as though something is wrong with the stamp. I recall someone reporting an issue with Acrobat 10 that can cause this sort of thing. I was able to open the file in Acrobat 9, delete the problematic stamp after unlocking it, and the correct one remained. If you're unable to do the same, I can send you the the file I fixed.

Our company has users on both Acrobat X and XI. We have custom stamps in X that the XI users need to use. How do we transfer the stamps to use in the newer version?

You just copy the stamp files from one machine and place them in the correct directory on the other. You can find the location of both the user and app stamp directories by running the following code in the interactive JavaScript console:
app.getPath("user", "stamps");
app.getPath("app", "stamps");
Select both lines and press Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or cmd+enter (Mac). Here's what I get with this using Acrobat 11 on a Mac:
user folder: /Macintosh HD/Users/georgejohnson/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0/Stamps/
app folder: /Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Built-in/Comments.acroplugin/Stamps/
The stamp files (PDFs) might have cryptic looking names, but you can safely open each to see what stamps they contain.

How do I flatten a custom stamp in Acrobat XI?

I use a custom stamp made from a scanned signature for signing documents. There was a simple flatten function in the Document menu of Acrobat X that quickly merge the signature into the document. I do see such a function in Acrobat XI. I use Windows 7. Any suggestions?

By the way, that blog post above doesn't make it clear that this folder isn't created by default when you install Acrobat, so if it's not present, you have to create the ..\Acrobat\Privileged\11.0\JavaScripts folder manually and place the script file there.

Users custom stamps dissapear in Acrobat 7.0 Professional

Hello,
For some reason our users custom stamps are dissapearing in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional when they close Acrobat, reopen it, and attemp to use the stamp(s) they had previously created. I am not sure if we can upgrade Acrobat because the users documents have to comply with some patch standard at http://www.uspto.gov/. Where would I need to look in order to find out what version/patches http://www.uspto.gov/ supports so I can troubleshoot the problem more effectively?
Thank you.

Yes, but i was hoping to be able to convert multiple files through acrobat rather than plot one at a time through autocad. thanks.

Adding Custom Stamps in Acrobat Reader X

I'm wondering how users of Acrobat Reader X can add their own custom stamps to documents. I create collateral for sales people across the U.S. who like to add their own contact information to the pieces. They were doing this by using the custom stamp feature that I enabled using Acrobat Pro 9. One of our sales folks decided to update his Acrobat to the newer version and it doesn't seem to have the same capabilities. I know there is a Signature tool, but that isn't quite the same. Can anyone help me figure this out? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
Maureen
