I am trying to find out if it is possible to have an end user add text to a stamp such as a project name and number

Hi --

If the user has Acrobat 8, or you have enabled commenting in Acro8 Professional, they can add a stamp. To add the content as you suggest, they would need to create a custom stamp.

If your users aren't program-savvy, you can make a stamp for them and send them the PDF file for storage on their hard drive.

Alternatively, consider adding a digital signature field for the end user, who can then use the project name and number as part of their digital signature.

Well the issue is the industry I work for requires a stamp. The end user would not want to learn how to create a custom stamp. The biggest issue is they would need 40 to 50 of these stamps a week and I simply do not have the time to create these which is which I want a custom stamp. I understand the editing portion but I need to know how to add a check mark to a box...
