We are currently using Acrobat 8.0 Standard. We would like to create a stamp that includes the user initial and the calendar date. We would like this stamp to update with the user initial and current date. How might we create such a stamp?
Thank you!

And since Acrobat/Reader does not track a user's initial as part of the identity object, you will either have to have the user enter their initials when the stamp is selected or add a folder level JavaScript to create a variable at the application level to hold the user's initials.
Note this ability to create dynamic requires version 6 Professional or above.
