Making a dynamic stamp in Acrobat 10

I tried to follow the instructions for making a dynamic stamp in Acrobat 9 for use in Acrobat 10, but my stamp is static, not dynamic. The date and time stayed the same as when I made it. What is the trick to make this happen. It's very frustrating that it is so hard to make a dynamic stamp. Thank for any assistance anyone can provide.

I've not done that, but here are some links which may help you:

Can I create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or do I have to buy Acrobat Pro?

I am researching options for the company I work for to take it's invoicing system paperless and I need to know if I can create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or is that possible only in Acrobat Pro?

You can create a custom dynamic stamp in Std. and Pro. and you can use the dynamic stamp in Reader as well. Here is an infographic on Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp in Acrobat XI.

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:

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] .

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.

Something that may be of some help:

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.

Dynamic Stamps in Acrobat 9 -

My dynamic stamps no longer show that they are "By" me and the date is now listed showing " Green Mountain Time" or "GMT" and I can't seem to fix this.
I can't remember having changed anything, these are stamps I have used for years.
Tks in advance

You got it!! After posting the question, other gremlins started appearing, so after
a proper shut down and rest period..... everything is magically fixed. You gotta love computers!!

Custom Dynamic Stamp Allowing Custom User Text

Maybe there are too many results to read through... I've searched and searched to no avail...
I've created a custom dynamic stamp (in Acrobat Pro X) but I want to be able to enter whatever text I want into the field and I seem to be doing something wrong. There's no way that this isn't an option... is there?
I've checked "Value Is Not Calculated" but once I insert the stamp, I don't know how to add text to the field.
Maybe this is a super-newbie question, but I'm stumped and would REALLY appreciate a hint!
Thanks a lot!

Yes, you can use the 'app.response' method or the Dialog object.

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.

Dynamic stamp scripting which worked in Acrobat 9 Pro not working in Acrobat XI Pro

I don't know JavaScript, so I am flying blind. I have recently updated to Acrobat XI Pro (on Win 7 Pro). I have had trouble setting up the same dynamic stamps that I had working in Acrobat 9. Just creating the stamps has been difficult, but the real pain has been trying to use the same scripting that I was using before. In particular, I have a field in which I want to enter details of a payment, such as cheque number. The script that worked before was:
var cAsk = "Enter Payment Details" ;
var cTitle = "Payment Details: ";
if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#X-MzCINchnGa7KblIGbv5C"))
var cMsg = app.response(cAsk, cTitle);
event.value = cMsg;
event.source.source.info.exhibit = cMsg;
The JavaScript debugger goes nuts about event.source being null and I am completely lost.
Can anyone suggest a script which is likely to work for me? Is there any tutorial or similar material dealing with these issues in Acrobat XI Pro and in language that I am likely to understand?
Thanks in advance.

Change the start of the if-statement to:
if (event.source && event.source.forReal && ...

Acrobat 9 dynamic stamp customized transfer from previous version

client of mine made a custom dynamic stamp and they can get it set up fine (dynamic field inserted in the stamp) and in the correct folder where it pulls the other stamps, but it is not finding it in the stamp list in the program, is what they've told me. This was functioning properly in our old computer when they were an earlier version of Acrobat. I want to know how I can get it to show up. The custom stamp I believe is a jpg cause it was created in photoshop.

The Acrobat/Reader stamp file specification has not changed sinced Acrobat/Reader 6. So if the stamped worked in an earlier verion it will work in Acrobat 9 and later as well. Since she recreated the stamp it is very likely that she did something different, because it sounds like the stamp was made incorrectly.
Not all pages in the stamp file are stamps. Stamp pages are marked in a special way. You typically make a dynamic stamp by first creating a static stamp, and then manually modifying that static stamp. So, did she create a static stamp first? and does this static stamp show up where it should on the stamp menus? This is the starting point for a dynamic stamp, and the first thing that should be checked before adding dynamic features to the stamp file. See the link below for the "All About PDF Stamps" book. You'll find everything you need to know about creating stamps there.
BTW: it is not a good idea to add new custom stamps to the built-in stamps, and especially if it means editing the original built-in dynamic stamp file. It is much better to create your own stamp categories.
You also need to restart Acrobat after creating the dynamic stamp file.

Where must I place a dynamic stamp on my mac for Acrobat XI Pro

I created a PDF with dynamic stamps. These stamps I normally place in the Stamps folder on my PC but I obtained an iMac and installed Adobe XI Pro on it and cannot locate the folder to install the dynamic stamps. Can some one please indicate to me where I can find this folder? I have looked in several locations in the library folder.

Acrobat Pro 8 - Create a Dynamic Stamp

1. How can I create my own dynamic stamp, for instance, how can I change the existing dynamic stamp "Approved" to "Released" with same time and date included.
2. How can I create my own dynamic stamp with some defined chops with additional "released", time and date included.
Hope I have made myself clear for these question, I have searched in the knowledge database, could not been able to get it.
Thanks and regards,
Tom Tang

Hi gbsales,
Did you read the Dynamic Stamps Secrets article (http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/02/dynamic_stamp_secrets )? It explains how to locate your dynamic stamp files (which are really PDF files) after you create them. Once you locate them on your system you can make a copy and distribute the files to your co-workers. Of course, they will have to place them into the stamps folder on their Acrobat stamps folder too ( they can run the same code to find the path to the correct foler on their system).
From the Console Window run
app.getPath ("app", "stamps");
app.getPath ("user", "stamps");
to locate your stamp files. Further details are in the article.
Hope this helps,
Dimitri

Can I balloon engineering prints in Adobe Reader or Acrobat? Create a dynamic stamp w/ Java Script?

I am trying to establish a very simple way to balloon prints with character numbers; below I have uploaded an example screen shot. My end goal is for the user to select a dynamic stamp (a circle with a number in the center) and it start numbering with 1 and then increment by 1 yet the user is placing each balloon in its respective location, resetting for each PDF document, one addition would be to allow the balloon numbers to be edited like a text box after they have been created in case there is an error in balloon placement etc. Is this possible? I have programming experience in other languages, but have only built a few dynamic stamps with time stamp information provided by java script code.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Yes it's possible with dynamic stamps, but the code is rather messy as it has to keep a running total.
See http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/department53.cfm for some samples (and the definitive book on creating your own dynamic stamps), and Rick Borstein's blog for some basic samples that put exhibit numbers on legal documents.

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.
