Custom Stamp no longer worker in Acrobat X

I created a custom stamp using Adobe X; not sure it was working the way it was suppose to but it still met my needs.
I used a PDF form which I created using Word, added some form fields and saved it.
Added the PDF form file as a custom stamp.
Opened another PDF document and was able to insert the custom stamp.....and this is where I don't know if it really worked correctly or not.  The stamp was basically an image, none of the fields were accessible; I thought a PDF form would act like a dynamic stamp but it didn't work as I expected.
But if I opened the original PDF of the stamp and filled in the form fields & saved it and then inserted the custom stamp again, all the fields were updated/filled in.
But then for some reason my custom stamp disappeared from stamp pull down menu.  And now when I try to add it back it creates an anonymous PDF file with the current form fields filled in.  If I open the original PDF stamp and change any of the form fields and save it, the custom stamp doesn't update when I go and insert it again.
And if I delete that anonymous PDF file, my custom stamp again disappears from the stamp pull down menu.
This now happens with any PDF file I use to create a custom stamp; Acrobat X creates an anonymous PDF file.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

Behavior for PDFs is not handled by SharePoint, but rather Adobe Acrobat. Validate Adobe Acrobat's PDF browser extension has been disabled (you can do this via IE and I believe Adobe Acrobat has this option within it's own Preferences).

  • Custom Field no longer works as an attribute since upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3

    We have just upgrade from CUP 5.2 to CUP 5.3 SP8.1 and it seems that the custom field that could be used in 5.2 as an attribute in the logic used to control initiators no longer works as an attribute in 5.3. The initiators that are now configured with the custom field still work but when we try to change or create a new one it errors saying that the custom field is not an attribute and stops me from including it to use as a flag. I looked in the attribute tabs list and the custom field is not listed but it still show in the drop down list in the change initiator screen select attributes selection.
    Has anyone else seen this and if so do you know how to allow us to use a custom field as an attribute in the initiator select attributes screen.

    Hello Clark,
    try to change the "applicable to" option in custom field configuration to initiator.
    Best regards,

  • Dynamic stamp scripting which worked in Acrobat 9 Pro not working in Acrobat XI Pro

    I don't know JavaScript, so I am flying blind. I have recently updated to Acrobat XI Pro (on Win 7 Pro). I have had trouble setting up the same dynamic stamps that I had working in Acrobat 9. Just creating the stamps has been difficult, but the real pain has been trying to use the same scripting that I was using before. In particular, I have a field in which I want to enter details of a payment, such as cheque number. The script that worked before was:
    var cAsk = "Enter Payment Details" ;
    var cTitle = "Payment Details:  ";
    if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#X-MzCINchnGa7KblIGbv5C"))
      var cMsg = app.response(cAsk, cTitle);
      event.value = cMsg;
      event.source.source.info.exhibit = cMsg;
    The JavaScript debugger goes nuts about event.source being null and I am completely lost.
    Can anyone suggest a script which is likely to work for me? Is there any tutorial or similar material dealing with these issues in Acrobat XI Pro and in language that I am likely to understand?
    Thanks in advance.

    Change the start of the if-statement to:
    if (event.source && event.source.forReal && ...

  • Outlook Quick Print no longer works with Acrobat Pro v11

    Hi All,
    Prior to installing Acrobat Pro v11 on a Remote Desktop Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) we were able to use the Quick Print function for attachments within Outlook (Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit), although the default printer was physical printer the application would always open with Acrobat Pro even after disabling it as a default application. Upon uninstalling Acrobat Pro v11 the issue no longer occurs and the quick print fuction has been restored to normal.
    If there is a known technical solution it would be greatly appreciated.
    Best regards,

    rgrosz789, thank you for your suggestion.
    Your code worked but caused run time error at the following line as below.
    Sub Test()
        'Dim app As CAcroApp
        Dim app As Object
        Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        app.Show 'Raises run time error
    End Sub
    I finally uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9, reinstalled it, then, my original program worked fine.
    Something must have gone wrong in Acrobat 9 :-)

  • InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.  
    Background:  I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department.  I used
    InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected.  The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem. 
    Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
    the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered.  I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
    not once it's published to the site) . 
    The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.  
    Is there a way to fix this issue?  I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests. 
    Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
    If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
    as well.  If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
    often. 
    Any insight would be very helpful!!

    Hi Bostic,
    I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
    The issue may be due to the browser you used.
    I recommend to verify the things below:
    Change another browser to see how it works.
    Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
    Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
    As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

  • Combine Files into PDF no longer working in Acrobat XI Standard

    Acrobat XI Standard now displays error "Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator." I am a single user on a single Windows 8.1 machine not on a network. Acrobat XI Standard installed from disc and then updated. Also running Office 2013. This worked fine until a few weeks ago as well as the right-click "Convert to PDF" option - now gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat XI completely. I have completed the full on-line Office repair as well. Same error. Any help would be appreciated - thank you.

  • Links no longer work in Acrobat 9 Pro application, and not just the pdfs.

    In Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, clicking on any link including links in the Acrobat 9 application's menu bar (like when I click on Help/Online Support/Knowledge Base), I get the following error message: "The location of the web browser has not been specified" .  Please do this in Preferences." 
    Does anyone know how to correct this error?  I tried going to preferences, as the error message indicated, but don't see any reference there to browser locations. IE9 is the default in my Windows 7 internet settings.     I used to be able to click on links in the menu bar and in pdfs, and go to the internet without any difficulty.  I don't know when this problem started but I recently upgraded to IE 9.  Are there any known compatibility issues that could cause this?
    Here's my software:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 version 9.5.3
    Windows 7
    IE 9
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    This is typically an issue of setting the web preference in the WINDOWS preferred programs. In Win7 this is accessed from Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Program Access...>Custom. Maybe these options will give you an idea of the problem.

  • Custom Ringtones no longer working?

    I recently installed 2.02 and just replaced my 8GB iPhone with a 16GB phone. Strangely, my old custom ringtones are on my new phone, but I am not able to add new ones. I am running ITunes 7.7 and am creating a custom MP3, I add it to Itunes then convert to AAC. I go to the folder that the m4a file is located, rename to m4r and sync. Did Apple stop custom ringtones in 2.02?

    regarding the ringtones, i was able to set custom ringtones myself, but ever since i did that i get errors when synching my phone in the form that some app's dont work, have any of you had this problem?

  • After upgrading to Photoshop CS5, my custom shortcuts no longer work.

    They show up correctly in my pull down menu bars but they no longer do anything when I hit the keys.  I'm baffled enough to go back to CS4 where they still work.  Anybody?

    I just did the upgrade and imported my settings.  Sorry but it's been 
    quite a while since my upgrade and I don't remember the specifics.  
    However, as I said, the shortcuts are displayed in the active pull 
    down menus just as the normal shortcuts are.

  • Tile Vertically no longer works after Acrobat 10.1.10 update.

    Is anyone else having the same issue?  I open 5-10 PDFs at a time, and then hit Ctrl-Shift-L to Tile them Vertically, and it Tiles them Horizontally instead.  Even choosing it directly from the menu (the slow way) doesn't work.  Tile Horizontally still tiles them horizontally, but that's not helpful to me.

    so here is da answer
    1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
    2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
    3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
    then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
    then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
    please use da steps!

  • 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.

  • BPC V7 MS CUSTOM MENU DOES NOT WORK

    Hello all,
    We are in the process of upgrading from BPC V5 to BPC V7 Microsoft and my custom menu no longer works. I am using Windows XP Pro, Office 2007 and BPC 7.0. I have a file called M01Summary2.xlt which contains various graphs that change whenever the settings in the current view are changed. On my EV_DEFAULT worksheet the settings are: Action is HIGHLIGHT, P1 is Reports\Wizard\ProcessMenu\MenuReports\M01Summary2.xlt, P2 is blank, P3 is blank, P4 is DEFAULT. When I test the custom menu, the graphs do not appear on the EV_RESULT worksheet. I can change a cell on M01Summary2.xlt (say add a color to the cell), save the file and the test the custom menu again and the color will appear in EV_RESULT but not the graphs. Can anyone offer any suggestions to fix this problem? Does V7 not recognize graphs? Could it be the fact that I'm using Office 2007? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Renee

    Please check the SAP Note 1404813. It seems a well known behavior and it should have been fixed in 7.5 SP1.
    It seems that this issue only happens when working with Excel 2007. With Excel 2003 all works fine.

  • 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;

  • 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.
