I'm an auditor that uses Windings as tickmarks for all of my workpapers. We recently obtained Acrobat v9 Standard and I'm the self-designated office software nerd that teaches all of the others the fun shortcuts.
I'm trying to add some stamps for use as tickmarks and I'm having some trouble. I tried two things:
a Creating a .bmp image and saving as a custom stamp but it looks very ugly.
b Copy+paste the tickmark straight from Word and paste to .pdf document. This works but takes forever...I want the short cut.
Does anyone have a better way to do this or a site I could get some good looking tickmarks to use as stamps? Any help is greatly appreciated.

An alternative to a wingding tick mark that (maybe) is easier.
Finding tick mark images installed with Acrobat.
Open Windows Explorer. Browse to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\
Select the Adobe folder. Right click to call up the context menu and select search.
Search on *.png | *.gif | *.jpg | *.jpeg
From the search results you will have the location of these image types.
Look them over (browse to the appropriate directory and use the thumbnails view).
Copy what appeals to a work directory or just note the location.
Create your custom stamp(s) using these.
