When he choose for ex B then the document has to be saved in the B map.Īnd the last question is : He also has to choose if the document is invoice or document. The user has 3 "company's" possibilities A, B or C. So, I want to save the document in the "company" directory. ![]() He has to choose the company from dropdown (in the stamp). The second question is : I want to save the document in the "company" directory. The first question is : I want to save the document with the filename the user has filled in. Information like invoice number, Cost Center, filename, supplier, company. I've created a dynamic stamp where the user has to fill in some information. You may be better off paying somebody to create this stamp for you. All this is documented in the Acrobat Javascript API documentation (which is part of the SDK), but again, this is not something I would think a beginner should tackle. The biggest problem you will have is to create a dialog in JavaScript that asks your users for the information that goes on the stamp. Also, you may want to get an introduction into Acrobat's JavaScript (the book here is a good start: Beginning JavaScript for Adobe Acrobat - make sure you get the PDF and not the Kindle book, they are different). If you really want to dive into this, do yourself a favor and get Thom Parker's book about custom dynamic stamps (see the link for more information). I would not recommend creating custom dynamic stamps as a good first task for somebody just starting out. Have you looked at the tutorial link posted earlier? If you are just starting with JavaScript in general and Acrobat's implementation, you have a steep learning curve to climb. 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. 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 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.Īnd 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 = "#KISS" and life will be easierĪlso 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. In Acrobat, create a new custom stamp, with whatever, this results in the crazy file name in the user stamp folder. 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) 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. Just in case any other newbie like me ever needs it. The section I want the stamp to prompt the user to input is the boxed area (but not outline)Īfter a few deep breathes and a little more research, I finally got it to work! AHHHH SUCCESS!!!! I then edited the script by removing the quotation markers, which I got a "Warning: JavaScript Window - ECMAScript" Dialog box.Ī sample of what I need. I then reopened my Submittal Stamp and edited the Text Feild Properties and changed the Custom Calculation Script to 'app.response()' (and to be clear yes I do use the quotation markers) saved the script and tried it, to which it did not prompt me to enter data. My Submittal Stamp w/ the Date/Time feild worked. I then copied the Dymanic Date/Time field and inserted it into my stamp (Submittal) and tested on a pdf doc. ![]() I then opened that file (C:\\application data\adobe\acrobat\8.0\Stamps.) and also opened a Dymanic stamp as well. Then in Acrobat,I created a Custom Stamp, retrieved the pdf image that I created from Word, and saved it as a customn stamp. Yes, I created the image in Word, then created the pdf.
