Date Time Stamp

Hi joheim,


If it is a regular Acrobat form and it is enabled for Commenting (NOT a LiveCycle form because enabling is not available for those), then stamps can be applied to it in the free Adobe Reader. Now how to get the stamp file onto all the Reader users' systems- you need to create the stamp and then install it into the Stamp folder on each end user's system. You can find out how to locate the correct folders from a tutorial in the Learning Center titled "Dynamic Stamp Secrets."

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

If you look at the stamps provided by Adobe, you will see that the only stamps that have the date and time feature are the Dynamic stamps. The Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp by Lori DeFurio and Dynamic Stamp Secrets by Thom Parker provide instructions on how to create dynamic stamps. The PDF will have to be created by Acorbat or other program that produces the standard PDF and not LiveCycle Designer that creates and XML form.

Well i guess the issue wasn't the creation of the stamp per say... it is more that everytime it is openned after it is used it appears the time and date change. We want the time to remain the same as when it was initally stamped.

Place the stamp and resize the stamp, save the PDF. Saving the PDF will convert the dynamic stamp to flattened stamp. The stamp can be moved, resized, and deleted, the attached comment could be edited but the displayed image will not change.
