Custom Stamps in Acrobat Reader

I am in an office whereby I am the only person with the full version of Adobe Acrobat. Everyone else only has Acrobat Reader.
I've created many a custom stamp for myself to use and I find them very handy, however, I'd like to be able to create custom stamps for people to use and apply in pdfs they are viewing with just the Reader. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,
kgriba

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.

Custom Stamping 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!

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.

Will upgrading to Acrobat XI Pro preserve my custom stamps from Acrobat X Pro?

I'm in the middle of installing Acrobat XI Pro and it wants me to uninstall my existing Acrobat X Pro. I'm concerned that I might lose my custom stamps in the process.

I can't say for sure, but in any case you should make backups of the stamp files. If they aren't retained, you will be able to simply copy them over to the correct stamps folder for Acrobat 11.
To find the current stamp folder, open Acrobat, open the JavaScript console by pressing Ctrl+J, and enter the following line of code:
app.getPath("user", "stamps");
and with the cursor on that line, press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad (on Windows at least).
The path that is shown may include a hidden directory (e.g., "Application Data", but that is where you'll need to go to copy the stamp files from.
It possible the custom stamps are also in the location given by:
app.getPath("app", "stamps");
so check there too.

Creating custom stamps in Acrobat 9

I'd like to create some stamps that will give an approval status as well as giving the name of the reviewer and the date and time, similar to the default dynamic stamps but with different wording.
I've managed to create a stamp and add it to the palette, however I can't get it to display the name of the reviewer or the time and date.
Can you help?

You have to make a dynamic stamp.
See http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/custom_dynamic_stamp/ for a dynamic with with a field is not interactive. See http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/dynamic_stamp_secrets/, for a dynamic stamp with an interactive field prior to placement.

Custom Stamp Name Display in Acrobat X?

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 Stamps

I'm creating custom stamps in Acrobat 9 and it keeps rotating the image so that it comes out 90 deg clockwise. I tried rotating the original pdf image 90 deg counterclockwise and it still comes out with the stamp rotated 90 deg clockwise (i.e. 180 deg from original). All of the videos on the web show no rotation of the selected image. What setting is screwing up the works for me?

Please re-post this to the proper forum. This is for Adobe Connect customers.

Custom stamp naming

I've created some custom stamps in Acrobat Standard X. I then edit the pdf in my stamps folder which contains the stamp and add text fields and use javascript to create a custom colculation script when the stamp is used (to bring up a prompt so the user can type text which will be added to the stamp). The script references the template name for the stamp. The name, which is randomly generated by acrobat when I create the stamp initially, is cumbersome. I'd like to give the template some unique name that is easier to remember rather than the random string generated by acrobat. How do I accomplish this? If I open the pdf in a text editor I can find the string but if I change it and save the file it corrupts the file. Thanks in advance for your help on this!

I'm confused. Following the instructions above I open the stamp file from the stamps folder. I select Tools>Document Processing>Page Templates. I select the template, with the randomly generated name, that corresponds to the stamp. In the Name: field I edit the stamp's name (everything between the # and the = symbols). Upon changing the name all buttons but the Close and the Add... buttons gray out. I click Add... and it adds a new template but leaves the original random-name template in the list. Can I now point to the newly added template in the code I have attached to my stamp or do I need to still point to the old template? Also, assuming I can now point to the new template, can I delete the old template? In the alternative, can I somehow change the original randomly generated name template without adding a new template? Thanks for your help!

How do I migrate my custom stamps from XI to DC? Where is the "stamps" folder in DC?

I have several vital custom stamps made for Acrobat XI (and previous versions). When upgrading thfough former versions, all I had to do was save the stamp files to the spamps folder and restart. Now, there's no hint of a stamps folder and nothing in the help file to provide guidance. Not even info as to whether earlier stamps can be used at all.

Hey nils egilt10348323,
For Windows, you can simply go to "C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Stamps
Copy this folder and paste it to "C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Stamps" to use the customized stamps in Acrobat DC as well.
If you are on MAC, then you can locate AppData folder under "Go > Libarary > User Name" and then perform the same steps.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Anubha

Custom Stamp Issue

Have succesfully captured my signature as a stamp in Acrobat 6 Pro. Regrettably, I can select my stamp/signature but cannot place it in the document. Instead, I find the words "The Paste" in its place. I made these attempts with edit-> paste or right clicking. Looking for the solution. Also looking for a way to find what is in the clipboard and possibly erasing its contents. Working with Vista Ultimate. Guidance sought

You do not cut & paste stamps, you select the the stamp from the toolboar button or maenu option "Comments => Comments & Markup Tools => Stamps" and select one of the many options there to select your stamp and then move your mouse to where you want to place your stamp and left click your mouse to place the stamp. All of this assumes you have properly created and improted your stamp into Acrobat/Reader.

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.

Creating custom dynamic stamps in Acrobat 9

I have Acrobat 9 Pro and I'm trying to create my own custom dynamic stamp. I have the image in a PDF format and I can create custom stamp out of it but I can't figure out how to add the dynamic fields. It's pretty easy in Acrobat 8 but there's just no info on how to do it in 9. I've gone through the web, lynda.com, and nothing. Some from Adobe, please help wtih this! Thanks.

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.
