Scripting a new shortcut key

Adding a stamp through a script: Yes.
Adding text using the typewriter tool: No.

Thanks, try67!
how about adding a keyboard shortcut or menu item to the interface?

You can add a menu item, but not a keyboard shortcut.

Hi MerlinSilk,

You could add a custom dynamic stamp that includes the ability to enter custom text in the stamp before it is placed ( to be clear- the custom text would be entered prior to placing the stamp, after the stamp is placed no text could be altered). Here's a link to an article here on custom dynamic stamps with a link to an example-

You can also create custom toolbar buttons for the Acrobat UI to eliminate walking the menu to get at frequently used stamps. Custom toolbar buttons are discussed in the forums many times, just do a search on those words, and you can also find more about them and a tool to help create them at-

There are also tutorials here on creating Custom Menu Items in Acrobat, here's a couple-
