I am following Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp (by Lori DeFurio, Adobe Systems ) and am unable to locate the stamp to modify
"When you select OK, your stamp is automatically created in the Application Data directory (c:\Documents and Settings\login name\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Stamps). The actual name of the PDF stamp created will be generated by Acrobat. In this example"
This directory does not exist !? Nor does c:\Documents and Settings\login name\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0\Stamps. In fact there is no Acrobat subdirectory in the Document and Setting directory.
Can you point me to the correct location? Again, version 7.0
Thanks
c:\Documents and Settings\[b]login name[\b]\Application Data\[b]vendor[\b]\[b]application[\b]\[b]version[\b]\Stamps
Where [b]login name[\b] is the user's login name, [b]vendor[\b] is "Adobe", [b]application[\b] is "Acrobat", [b]version[\b] is "6.0", "7.0", "8.0", etc for version of the application.
You will also note in the "read' version Lori describes the difference in the location that also includes the version number and language of the installed version of Acrobat.
From the JavaScipt console one can used to locate the location of application and logged in user's stamps.
try {
var appStamps = app.getPath("app","stamps");
} catch(e) {
var appStamps = "Application has not defined any stamps";
}
console.println("Application stamps are located at: " + appStamps);
console.println("");
try {
var userStamps = app.getPath("user","stamps");
} catch(e) {
var userStamps = "User has not defined any custom stamps";
}
console.println("User stamps are located at: " + userStamps);
And produces an output similar to:
Application stamps are located at: /C/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 7.0/Acrobat/plug_ins/Annotations/Stamps
User stamps are located at: /C/Documents and Settings/login name/Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/7.0/Stamps
