Dynamic stamp form or template

Hi,
I need to create a custom dynamic stamp form for my document, with custom check boxes.
I read that it might be eaiser to make my form a template and overlay the template on my page instead
of doing the custom dynamic stamp because it would be no coding and easier?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your help!

For the check boxes you might want to look at Dynamic Stamp Secrets by Thom Parker and PDF Stamps Gone Wild!!  at www.pdfscripting.com.

  • Help with Dynamic Stamp

    Hello
    I have created a dynamic stamp that I swear was working great this morning, but now odd things are happening. I am very new to this. Heres what i have done so far....
    I created the PDF for the stamp.
    I created the custom stamp in Adobe
    I went to the file where the stamp is kept by adobe and added the form field.
    I added this text in custom Calculation:
    var cResponse = app.response({
    cQuestion: "Enter the number to appear in the stamp.",
    cTitle: "Number",
    cLabel: "Number:"
    if (cResponse == null) {
    event.value = "*NVALID*";
    else
    event.value = cResponse;
    I save and close file.
    I go to my pdf. Hit the stamp icon, go down to dynamic stamps and in stead of a list showing of all the dynamic stamps it takes me right to this
    I enter what info i want, and the stamp never stamps.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks!!

    To add more clarification to this super fun stamps game I've been trying to play for the better part of 2 or 3 days now, going to try to blurt this out quickly so I can get dinner.
    Here is a solution to adding all the stamps you used to have into new Acrobat (as the whole "just copy the file into the Roaming Acrobat Stamps folder" didn't do anything for me)
    in Acrobat, create a new custom stamp, with whatever, this results in the crazy file name in the user stamp folder.
    Take your old stamps file, rename it to this file name, (and put into the Title field of that acrobat properties the Name of the Stamps you'd like them to be contained under, this will be what shows up when you bring up the stamp tool.
    And the whole dynamic stamp gobblygook above with the #crapblahsputting name, do away with that to make java and forms easier by opening page templates and just going through and making sure the pages in your file are accounted for and if you have the #crazyname then change it to something like #KISS=Keep it Simple Stupid (the Keep it Simple Stupid, will be what shows up if you were to show Stamp Names in Acrobat) and now when you try to do other Forms Java scripting you can just say event.source.stampName == "#KISS" and life will be easier
    Also in the organize page menu drag the files around so they can be in a better order than just how you added them into Stamp originally.
    You can drag in new files to this stamp file as well in the future too, just be sure to go to the page templates and get that page a name, #KISS2=Keep it Simple Squared
    I hope this also saves someone the frustration of this Stamp world, I'm sure that now that I've FINALLY figured it out, Adobe will remove the feature.

  • Dynamic Stamps with Text Input Options

    You guys were so helpful I thought I'd give this another go. I'm trying to create a stamp like the one used in this tutorial (http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2009/05/add_dynamic_exhibit_stamps_in_ac.html), but based off of the attached image. The tutorial is great if you want to work off of the existing file, but I can't quite figure out how to make it work for creating something from scratch. Bascially I need people to be able to input their name and date, and have it not change after it's been entered. Thanks!

    Have you looked at the links to the other web sites for the more advanced tutorials?
    Dynamic Stamps Secrets
    If you want more user input you should look at 'dialog' object or AcroDialogs plug-in form Windjack Solutions.

  • How can I create a new dynamic stamp in Pro version ?

    I would like to add a new dynamic stamp but cannot find out how to.

    A simple way is to create a new custom stamp using the UI, and then make it dynamic by opening the resulting stamp file, adding one or more form fields, and the custom calculation script(s) that control the behavior.  If you get stuck with any of these things, post again.

  • Where do I find Dynamic stamp files on a networked mac?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to create a dynamic stamp with a form field in Acrobat XI pro. I have been told that once you have loaded in the stamp image to create the stamp you then must open this stamp file in order to add the form fields. From the reading I have done I believe you should find the stamp files by right clicking on the application in finder, going to show package contents and then following the path Contents > Plug-ins > Comments.acroplugin > Stamps > ENU
    However when I try to follow this path I get as far as Plug-ins and then hit an empty folder? The only examples on the web for this method have been with Acrobat 9 and I am using a networked mac so I don't know whether either of these factors has any bearing on my problem?
    If anyone can point me in the direction of where to find my stamp files I would be very grateful. (The stamp I created appears in the stamps in Acrobat so I know it must be saved somewhere!)
    I am using Acrobat XI pro (Adobe CC) on a networked mac version 10.9.3.
    Thank you in advance!

    There are two possible locations. The one you're mentioned is for the built-in stamps, and the other is for user-created stamps. Here are the two locations on my system for Acrobat 11:
    /Macintosh HD/Users/georgejohnson/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0/Stamps/
    /Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Built-in/Comments.acroplugin/Stamps/
    These locations are given by running the following JavaScript in the interactive JavaScript console (cmd+J):
    app.getPath("user", "stamps");
    app.getPath("app", "stamps");

  • Dynamic stamp rotates after creation, why?

    Afternoon,
    Acrobat X Pro
    Windows 7 Pro
    I've been finagling with a dynamic stamp with user-populated fields/javascript and one version (which I hammered out a few months back) works great, the second version (which I've recently picked up) is not doing so well. I've got the stamp page size/background/javascript/form text fields all worked out but after I've created the stamp I notice that it's rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise... Any ideas as to why? I'm still working with it and will report back if I find a solution.
    Any/all help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
    Ted

    Best solution I've found is to simply rotate the stamp page in it's PDF but it doesn't explain why this particular stamp's orientation at creation is incorrect. When placing the stamp on a document the incorrect 90 degree counterclockwise orientation dimensions are still visible (2.75" H x 1.8" W) and the preview stamp image is stretched/distorted; but on placement the stamp is correct (1.8" H x 2.75" W).
    I could have also just left it with the incorrect orientation and had the field users rotate it themselves after populating the fields but I don't want to hear 'but why isn't it this way or that way' any more often than I need to.
    I still welcome any/all assistance to more permanently correct this problem.
    Thanks again,
    Ted

  • Dynamic xfa form - digital signature becomes invalid

    Greetings forum,
    I have question regarding dynamic xfa forms and hope, that you can help me.
    I filled a pdf form based on a dynamic xfa form (with extended rights for Reader user) using iText. When the content of the PDF is changed, the digital signature becomes unvalid, so that the rights are no longer vaild.
    Therefore Adobe Reader (9.0) does not save the PDF. I get the following error message:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in  Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are  no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I tried the following workaround with itext:
    PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(RESULT), '\0', true);
    (http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/faq.php?branch=faq.itext&node=enabled_form),
    but I doesn't seem to work.
    As a result, the rights are valid but the content of the PDF wasn't changed.
    Is there any workaround for that or does it only work static xfa forms/acroforms?
    Many thanks for you support!
    Irina2000

    Sounds like you tried to fill in a form using Acrobat without the form feature use. Actually iText from what I can see is not using Acrobat, but a third party product. To fill in the form, you simply use the hand tool to move over a form field where the tool will change to an Ibeam or similar pointer tool. Select the field and type in the data. That should not make any changes to the PDF in the sense that has been stated. I have no clue where iText comes into the picture.

  • How can you update the content of a textfield in a dynamic xml form from MSAccess and VBA

    I am trying to use the code below to update a field in a dynamic xml form created by Livecycle.
    I can read the field content but cannot change it.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks
    R
    Sub test()
    Dim oPDF As AcroPDDoc
    Dim FileDestName As String
    Dim jso As Object
    Dim ofld As Object
        FileSrcName = "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\ADOBE Forms\NoVB.pdf"
        Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set jso = oPDF.GetJSObject
        Set ofld = jso.getfield("form1.TopForm.Header.Subform1.Contact")
        Debug.Print ofld.Value
         ofld.Value = "HHH"
        Debug.Print ofld.Value
    oPDF.Save PSsavefull, FileSrcName
    oPDF.Close
    Set jso = Nothing
    Set oPDF = Nothing
    End Sub

    You need to research the difference between an AcroForm and an XFA form.  You're trying to access a "Field" object, which is an AcroForm object.  An XFA form does not have fields, it has nodes.  The JavaScript you are using is specific to AcroForms and you are working with an XFA form.

  • 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.

  • Name not appearing in Dynamic Stamps

    Hi.
    When I insert a dynamic stamp, such as reviewed,approved etc, into a pdf my name does not appear as the reviewer/approver.
    I am using Adobe pro9 and Windows 7.
    Thanks.

    Is your copy of Acrobat up to date with version updates?
    The current version is 9.5.1.
    Have you turned off JavaScript in Acrobat?
    Did you create the dynamic stamp?
    Have you completed "Identity" category in Acrobat's Preferences?
    Do the Dynamic stamps supplied by Adobe work?
    What is the code you are using to insert your name?
    The code supplied by Adobe for their Dynamic stamps:
    event.value = (new Date()).toString();
    AFDate_FormatEx("h:MM tt, mmm dd, yyyy");
    event.value = "By " + ((!identity.name || identity.loginName != (event.source.source || this).Collab.user) ? (event.source.source || this).Collab.user : identity.name)
    + " at " + event.value;

  • Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

    Hi Experts,
              I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
    This is my scenario....
    I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
    In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
    IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
    (IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
    iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
    simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
    Please give me solution for the same.

  • How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?

    I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks.

  • Dynamic Stamps Not Working in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hi everyone, the dynamic stamps on Adobe Simultaneous Review are no longer working for us. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (it works for me) but it's not working for many other people (they have Adobe Acrobat Pro X). Does anyone know how we can fix this. I think the problem started occurring a few months ago.
    Many Thanks!
    Joy

    You can shutting down Acrobat and then try moving (DO NOT DELETE - you may want put them back afterward if this doesn't work) the Collab and Sync folder out of the User's Acrobat folder and then rejoin the Shared Review to see if the Dynamic Stamps reappear.
