I just moved from version 9 to version 10 (X). What happened to my custom stamps? I assume they are stored in a new direcoty now and that I need to copy them over from the old directory. Where were they stored by default under 9? Are they compatible with X (or will the X upgrade have upgraded them). They are very simple static stamps - but there were a lot of them so I don't want to recreate them all

Thanks George - I guess that is actually my question. Where would they have been stored under 9 (now removed by the X installer)and what directory should they be copied to in X. I looked at the organizer but didn't see any options that would help me here (I assume by organizer you are referring to "Manage Custom Stamps" - or is there something else I haven't found?)
Perhaps the X upgrade program deletes all custom stamps? Even so, if I knew what directory they were in I could recover them from a recent backup.
In neither version does the stamp manager seem to tell you where it is storing them (that I could see).
Thanks,
Ken

Hi kenwiens,
I realize this thread is a little old, but I just struggled through this issue myself and I wanted to share my knowledge with the group. Ken asks a simple question and it deserves a simple answer.
Although the Acrobat X installer claims to uninstall Acrobat 9.0, your custom stamps should still be intact and can be transferred over to Acrobat X. Here are the steps for Windows 7 (other versions of Windows might be a little different in terms of folder names and locations):
1. Open up Windows Explorer and make sure it's set to “Show hidden files, folders and drives” or some of the folders will be hidden.
2. Browse to: C:\Users\*Name*\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Stamps (where *Name* is your account name)
3. In that folder, you will find an oddly named PDF file (like “c_DfLhaC4e8h_rFMxhDkbC.pdf” or something similar). This file contains your custom stamps. Copy this file.
4. Browse back to: C:\Users\*Name*\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Stamps. Paste the file here.
5. Open Acrobat X and the custom stamps should be available.
It should be as simple as that. Good luck with it...

You may also need to go through stamp organizer to import them.
