Hello all

im wondering if there is a way to manipulate a stamp once it has been placed on the pdf.
Ideally what i would be after is the ability to resize it and copy it to a second specified location within the same pdf document.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards

Damian

A stamp is a comment field, so after stamping select the "Hand" and place the "Hand" over the stamp. The stamp will be bordered with a small black line and black squares in each corner. You can put the hand in the stamp area (the corsur will change to an arrow), hold down the left mouse button, and drag the stamp to where you want it. To resize move the "Hand" to one of the squares, handles, the corsur will change to an arrow, hold down the left mouse button and resize the stamp image.

Yes, details are in the Acrobt JS API Reference. There is an "annot" with a number of properties and methods.
