I have used Acrobat 3, 4, 5, 6 and have now upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9. My system is OS X Tiger 10.4.11. A useful feature is the dynamic stamps. I want to take an existing dynamic stamp such as "Reviewed" with the name & date and change the text only to "Scanned" with name & date. I've read the posts "Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp" by Anonymous, "Dynamic Stamp Secrets" and "Automating Placements of Annotations" by Thom Parker. I've also purchased "PDF Forms Bible" by Ted Padova and Angie Okamoto. All of them tell you how to create custom stamps-that's easy. The posts above go on to describe modifying an existing dynamic stamp using Acrobat 8. The instructions are straightforward. However tOK his isn't working for me in Acrobat 9.
First I can't find the existing stamp files. I can open them in Acrobat 9 OK by Tools>Comment & Markup>Stamps>Show Stamps Palette, but in order to modify them I have to find them in the directory. I've searched for "Acrobat User Data", "Application Data", and/or "Stamps" no such folders. Thom Parker says "Acrobat automatically generates stamp files and gives them very cryptic names". In order to track down the stamp folder I made a custom stamp, saved it and did a search for todays date in order to find it. I couldn't find it! I opened up Acrobat again and the custom stamp was still there so it had to be saved somewhere.
Where is the stamp file kept in OS X 10.4.11. Has anyone actually modified a dynamic stamp using Acrobat 9 under OS X 10.4.11? I read all the posts having to do with Acrobat 8 and they don't cut it. Anyone with recent experience, your help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
