I am new, I looked through the forums but could not find an answer. I am using Acrobat 9.0. I created a Dynamic Stamp that works great on my local machine. However when I upload to Acrobat.com and try to use the stamp I created it comes out flat. How do I get the Dynamic part to work online? Thanks.

I uploaded a pdf document that is about 70 pages. I am sharing it with a coworker in another state. I want to use dynamic stamps so she can tell when I have completed using the information on a particular page.For example, when she's in the document and put's a comment on a page I get a popup saying there are comments ready. I reveiw her work then stamp it with a dynamic stamp so she know I am finished. We use the list all month so it would be nice to have the Date and time. It works on our pc's just not online.

I'm still not sure exactly what you expect to happen, but here's my bit.
All markup annotations, including dynamic stamps, are applied to a PDF on your local system using Acrobat. That dynamic stamp is only on your system, so only you can apply it. If you want someone else to use the dynamic stamp you have to send it to them and they have to install it on their system. Now, once the stamp is applied to the PDF it is a flat image. It cannot be changed, but it should travel with the pdf and look the same everywhere. That doesn't mean that someone who receives the PDF with the stamp on it can then turn around and use the stamp. If they want to use it they have to install the original stamp file on their own system.
Acrobat.com is a completely different animal. It doesn't have anything to do with dynamic stamps, at least not directly. I imagine that you are using Acrobat.com for Comment and Review? That's why you get notifications when an annotation is applied to the PDF. Acrobat is using the Acrobat.com website to transfer newly applied markups to other users in the Review. It's sending the dynamic stamp as a flat image, and that is what the other reviewers are seeing, a flat image.
