    Extremely helpful, thank you! I don't for the life of me understand why Adobe makes custom dynamic stamps so complicated. It seems like a relatively simple and useful tool to add into the main GUI.

    Hello! Great and helpful vid!! I do not have the ideal jargon, as I am not a programmer but like to try and learn when in need. I am currently working with a custom dynamic stamp that has 3 fields. The first 2 fields prompt the user to enter text that will show on the stamp (the script for these 2 prompts are currently working fine). The third field is an empty field that requests for a signature. I already tried adding the "Digital Signature" field from the "Prepare Form" menu. It works when the stamp is opened by itself. However, when I stamp the documents, and click on the field the signature process doesn't start. I’ve been told that I have to develop a script for the field (calculated), that when the doc gets stamped, the signature field becomes active (like the sign tab) so that the user clicks on the signature field and the stamp starts the signing process. Currently, I am stamping the docs and then sign the stamp using the "Certificate" tool and then digitally sign by dragging the square where I want the signature. I’ve been on this for a long time researching and trying w/o success. Can you please help me with the script I need or suggest if there's any better/easier way to solve my problem? BTW, I am using Acrobat DC.

    I got it to work!! It's too bad you can't put the javascript somewhere we can just copy and paste. That would have made it much easier. Somewhere on the internet it would be good to have a listing of javascript for different templates for stamps!! BTW, your instructions were perfect.

What actually happened there? And can I find out what the current id's are so that I don't have to create new template (since that also forces me to buy DC Pro...)

    • @bethbretton6696
      @bethbretton6696 6 років тому

      James -- not sure if you got any help with this, but I finally figured out what I needed to do to get the date to capture the current date and use it within the text field. I didn't need anything else about my stamp to be dynamic, so my Custom calculation script needed to do the work of only getting the date when the stamp is "laid down" as Aleph says. That logic now looks like this: if(event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "#Stamp1")) { event.value=util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date()); } Hope that makes sense. It's working fabulously for me now.
