Dynamic Stamp Help

Hi All,
     I'm a bit of a Newbie to dynamic stamps and need a little help with some code.
I had an issue with stamp prompting before i could place it, even then after entering a valid response it would still not let me place a stamp. I added the highlighted code now its waiting until i place the stamp but the response isn't showing on the stamp.
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "Enter the PO Number.",
cTitle: "Purchase Order Number",
cLabel: "PO:" });
if(event.source.forReal &&
   (event.source.stampName == "#s7c7LeqDrxgy84o8Lg6-wD2"))
if (cResponse == null)
{event.value = "*NVALID*";}
else
event.value = cResponse;
Thanks heaps

Cheers for the response
I changed the file name to the stamp name, i also tried the below code as well..
if(event.source.forReal &&
   (event.source.stampName == "#s7c7LeqDrxgy84o8Lg6-wD2"))
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "Enter the PO Number.",
cTitle: "Purchase Order Number",
cLabel: "PO:" });
if (cResponse == null)
{event.value = "*NVALID*";}
else
event.value = cResponse;
I get no prompt at all with the above code.

  • 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?

    If you want more user input you should look at 'dialog' object or AcroDialogs plug-in form Windjack Solutions.

  • 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.

  • Dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X

    Help needed!
    How to create own dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X, without any knowledge of programming.
    It was very easy with the program used before (Nuance); unfortunally it's not possible to export from Nuance to Acrobat.
    Thanks in advance
    vtosi

    It can't be done without using a script, and not a very simple one, either.
    There are detailed tutorials about how to do it, for example here:
    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials
    If you're interested in someone to create the stamp (and all the required
    scripts) for you, feel free to contact me by PM or at [email protected] .

  • 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.

  • Custom Dynamic Stamp Java not working in WIN7

    I currently was upgraded from WinXP to WIN7. Running Acrobat Prof 8 with all the updates. I created a dozen customized dynamic stamps that grab info and date/time from the system. Using the following java, the stamps worked perfectly.
    event.value = (new Date()).toString();
    AFDate_FormatEx(",m/d/yy");
    event.value = " " + (identity.name || identity.loginName) + " - " + event.value;
    In WIN 7, I am getting a long date and time with no identity.

    GK,
    I tried a completely new file from scratch, used your script and it did not pick up the user,  it used a long date format, etc. Here is a sample of what I got. I only want the short date and name. No time zone. No name appears. It should be KPanthen.

  • Superseeded Dynamic Stamp

    Hi there,
    I'm having a problem with Acrobat 9 Pro and Win 7 Dynamic Stamps.
    I'm an IT technician and I'm trying to help a client wich uses Adobe 9 Pro and Stamps...Dynamic ones.
    Because we live and work in Portugal, I had to use the next string, in order to properly display user and "our" date and time.
    String
    event.value = (new Date ()) .toString(); AFDate_FormatEx("hh:mm dd mmm yy");
    event.value = "By " + ((!identity.name || identity.loginName != (event.source.source || this).Collab.user) ? (event.source.source || this).Collab.user : identity.name)
    + " at " + event.value;
    Now the problem is that the client asked me to create a new dynamic stamp with the word: Superseeded...
    I did..
    I used the same string...
    I followed the instructions at: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/print/custom_dynamic_stamp
    And...Nothing...the stamps shows up just with the date and time of creation...
    You can check it here:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18941050/Superseded.pdf
    What can I do to solve this?
    Best Regards

    I'm adding the "stamp" at:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps\ENU
    And I didn't notice any error in JS...
    I just tried to follow the tutorial: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/print/custom_dynamic_stamp

  • Using dynamic stamp in Reader 11 causes crash on exit.

    I've just upgraded reader from 10 to 11 and am investigating using the enhanced comment functionality to stamp and date drawings as approved for manufacture.  However after using a dynamic stamp, when we exit Reader we get a crash report that "Reader has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem". We are using Windows 7 and XP and get the same problem on both.
    This is easy to reproduce.
    1. Open a pdf.
    2. Click Comment->(Annotations)->add stamp
    3. Go into the dynamic category and click the top stamp.
    4. place it on the drawing
    5. Go to the File menu and Exit.
    6. Click no when asked to save the file. (It also crashes if the file is saved)
    The "Reader has stopped working" dialog will pop up.
    It appears that this problem only occurs when the base file (from step 1) is stored on a network drive.
    I've downloaded a Trial version of Acrobat Pro XI and the problem does not occur there.
    Any help would be appeciated.  We would like to integrate this into our work flow, but I can't recommend it while it's generating crash reports.

    Same issue here although with Acrobat Pro XI.  Does not matter if the document is saved locally or to the network.  I don't see this listed as a known issue or addressed by any updates through 11.0.3.
    Problem experienced by multiple users here, all with fresh installations of Acrobat XI.  Screenshot of error attached.  WIN7 x64, up-to-date.

  • 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.

  • Dynamic stamps with multiple editable fields

    Our Accounting department wants to go completely digitable with invoices.
    For them to be able to do this they require a stamp that has several editable fields such as

    Comments
    Date
    Approval status
    They want to be able to stamp a PDF invoice and then fill in the fields manually.
    I cannot find a stamp that will do this.  I tried a couple add-in stamp apps for Acrobat 9 but they did not offer this kind of feature.

    Hi teede,
    We have begun publishing a large amount of information on creating/developing custom dynamic stamps  at www.pdfscripting.com due to the number of requests for information on these powerful PDF workflow tools.  It is a membership site requiring a paid membership for full access to all content, but we recently published a free video "PDF Stamps Gone Wild!" on the home page under Featured Videos that shows many possibilities for what you can do with custom dynamic stamps.
