Hello,

It is possible to create a javascript that can rotate custom stamps. For example i have a stamp and its horizontally oriented. i dont want to create a vertical oriented stamps. What i want is a button or command maybe it will have a javescript on it then it will rotate my stamps from horizontal to vertical. Or what do you think is the best thing to do on this problem because you can't simple rotate any stamps on acrobat.

Thanks...

Yes, stamps are annotations and all annotations have a rotation property that can be controlled from JavaScript. You could do this with an automation script after the stamp is placed, or you could write it into the stamp script. See this article:
