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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 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?

  • 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.

    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 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!
    -Ariel

    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!

  • 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?

    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 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,

    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.

  • Creating Custom Stamp

    Hello all.
    I am working on Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I am trying to create a custom stamp of my signature. When I import my signature , it shows up perfectly (reading horizontally, like I want it), but when I go to insert the stamp , it is rotating it 90 degrees clockwise for some reason (reading top to bottom). I know I can edit the stamp and make it horizontal again (reading left to right) but that is quite a hassle considering I use the stamp 6-10 times a day. I would really like to insert the stamp and just print the page. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this or why the stamp is rotating.
    Thank you in advance.

    I figured it out!
    was having the same issue and it cost me half the morning at work.
    when i was creating the stamp, i needed some comments and markups added and to "flatten it" i was printing it to PDF and then croping the page to the size i wanted and then importing it as a stamp. anyway, when i was printing to pdf, in the print dialogue box, in the section "Page Handling", the option "Auto-Rotate and Center" was checked, this was forcing my stamp to be centered and the page orientation to be landscape. For kicks n giggles, I unchecked it, the page orientation changed to Portrait and my stamp image went to the upper left. I cropped my result as I normally would, and upon creating the new custom stamp, it was right as rain. hope this helps!
