Now we can click on the blank space above the stamp and start to type “Prepared”. To do that, we need to use the Tools>Content Editing>Add Text function. When we go to the page that contains our copy of the Received stamp, we can modify it.Let’s start this by adding the new text just above the current stamp. Once you have a second copy of this stamp in your document, make sure that you work with the copy and not the original stamp. the Received stamp, we can use the technique I described in my blog post “Duplicate a Page in Adobe Acrobat”. When we open this in Acrobat, we can see that there is one page per stamp. The one we are interested in is the file Dynamic.pdf. In this directory are all the stamp files that Acrobat comes with. For English, we would use the ENU directory. When we look in these directories, we would find sub-directories (one or more, depending on the type of Acrobat installation) for different languages. On a Mac, Acrobat would report /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Built-in/Comments.acroplugin/Stamps/. On a Windows system we would either get C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps – depending on if we are running on a 32bit or 64bit version of the operating system. To get the location of the application level stamps, we would use the following JavaScript command in the JavaScript console: Take a look at my post titled “Acrobat JavaScripts – Where do they go?” to learn about the App.getPath() command. The good news here is that Acrobat can actually tell us by using one line of JavaScript.
What if we need a dynamic stamp that is not in the list? Let’s assume we need a stamp that is very similar to the “Received” stamp, but instead of the term “RECEIVED”, it should say “PREPARED”… The rest of this blog post will explain how you can take an existing dynamic stamp, copy it and modify it so that it fits your workflow.įirst, we need to find out where these stamps are located. All the factory default dynamic stamps are in the “Dynamic” category: You can select them by going to the Comment pane on the right side, then click on the Stamp tool to bring up the list of stamps. Adobe Acrobat comes with a number of dynamic PDF stamps.
