Hello,

I'm developing a stamp for our department using Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. I read Dynamic Stamp Secrets by Thom Parker. I understood the tutorial and read it several times just to make sure that I haven't missed anything. But, for some reason, I can't use event.source.forReal or event.source.stampName. I get an error message saying "event.source does not have properties". Does that mean they took the properties out from Acrobat 9? If they did, is there another way to do the same thing in Acrobat 9?

I have already built the custom dynamic stamps and it works wonderfully. However, the only problem is whenever I try to click on the stamps, it first pops up with all the questionnaires but doesn't apply the stamp and I have to click on "the" stamp again to apply in the document.

I would really appreciate it if you give me some directions on it.

Thanks

Sirish

Nevermind, guys. I figured it out. There was a simple logical error but I was able to find it. Thanks for all the other helpful information.

Andy,

I don't know if you have already read the "Dynamic Stamp Secrets" by Thom Parker or not but if you haven't I highly recommend it. You can read it by going to http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/02/dynamic_stamp_secrets.

Regarding, event.Source.forReal and event.source.stampName, you must close the "form fieds" before you can apply it. In my case, I used .forReal and .stampName but it was being blocked for security. So, I left the code in and closed calculation scripts and also closed the form fields. Then restarted Adobe and applied the stamp, and it worked. But one thing you have to remember is to print the stampName on the console so that you can see the cryptic name of the stamp.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you still have problems.
