How to create editable stamps in Adobe Acrobat X Standard?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a custom stamp with check boxes and a fillable text field so that after I stamp a PDF I can check off some of the boxes and edit the text field?
Or maybe it would be possible to do this by applying an existing form to an existing PDF?
I am going to have to stamp many PDFs so I do not want to have to build a new stamp or form every time I am using it because this is time consuming.
Thanks,
Jayden

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 Back navigation in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    I have a huge pdf - actually an e-book - of more than 350 pages. Each page contains a health therapy with certain words hyperlinked which go to an explanation in the glossary, which is towards the end of the document. This means that the reader could click off page 9 to find themselves in page 320, and then after they've got their explanation, they will want to return to their original page (9).
    So how do I get them back easily?
    On Acrobat 7, there was a way of doing this. And it is explained here in this tutorial:
    http://library.queensu.ca/webir/e-theses/word-to-pdf-etd_tutorial.pdf
    The way to do it is found in Lesson 4, Section 3. It says:
    * In the Actions pane select the "Execute a menu item" then click on the "Edit" button.
    * The Menu Item dialog box presents itself. Select, from the menu, "View>Go To> Previous View.
    My problem is that none of these navigation titles such as Actions, or Bookmarks Properties, or Execute a Menu Item appear in my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
    And I'm not even sure whether Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard can perform this navigation tool, or whether it is only available in Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. I rang Technical Support, but they didn't know. So they referred me to Customer Services, but they didn't know. So Customer Services referred me to Sales, and they didn't know ...
    So please can anyone here help? I would be very grateful.
    Thanks for listening!

    Thank you for your swift response,
    The problem is that the form has to be filled out and then submitted via email, as you mentioned the email clients have trouble, I do not have a problem with the amount of submissions as I do not think I will ever hit the max on the form.
    I have been doing some digging, can I use "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save In Adobe Reader" function on the form so the users can fill out the form and then save it? And if so are you also able to have the "submit Form" function with this or can it only be one or the other?
    Thanks in Advance

    I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

  • I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

    I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend?  How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

    1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
    2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
    3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
    4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

    Whatever issues you have, have nothing to do with your version of Acrobat. Beyond that your info is simply too vague. just saying that it doesn't work is never a good way to ask for help. Either way, ask in the Acrobat forum.
