Hi,
 
I would like to create a custom stamp that has 3 variables, one page incrementing variable that prompts you for the starting page and each time the stamp is applied the variable increments by 1. And the other 2 variables are constants but is prompted for the user to supply the constants. As an example:
 
ATTACHMENT (prompted incrementing variable) OF (prompted constant) FOR FDEO (prompted constant)
 
Example: ATTACHMENT 1 OF 12 FOR FDEO R1916
 
Could you help me with this please!
 
Thanks,
Mark

Have you read this article?

The only other thing you need is a persistent value. You can use a "Global" value. Unfortunately, in acrobat 8 and beyond, global values are only global within a single document, so if you want the incremented value to be persistant across documents, or invocations of Acrobat your out of luck.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by a "persistent value" or a "Global" value. Could you please elaborate a little more? I have read your dynamic stamp article.
Are you saying that every time I use the stamp tool the stamp will prompt me for a page number and I enter that number.And the rest of the info such as "ATTACHMENT OF 12 FOR FDEO R1916 is jus written into the stamp as text?
