Question

Acrobat DC Fillable Dynamic Stamp

Hello.  I've read a number of various blog posts but I'm still having trouble creating a dynamic stamp that will allow the user to just enter in 3 fields.  I already created the image, saved it as a Stamp, and located the file.  I then added the 3 text fields I need.  I am just not sure where to even begin with how to write the code in Acrobat DC.  The text fields are titled Text1, Text 2, and Text 3.  The outline of the stamp is simple

User: Text1 (I need to be able to type in various initials)

Amount: Text2 (Just need to be free form to type in either a percentage or $ amount)

Sent: Text3 (Just need to write a name of whoever I sent it to)

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

You're in luck. I just posted this tool a few days ago. The practicalPDF Dynamic Stamp Dialog Creator for Adobe Acrobat DC is a Custom Command that will add a special hidden field to the active document turning it into a Dynamic Stamp. The new dynamic stamp will automatically display an Acrobat JavaScript input dialog to assist the user in properly entering the information required by the stamp. The best part is, you don’t need to know JavaScript in order to use this tool, all you need to do is add a few fields to your stamp, set the field properties so they follow a few simple rules, then press the button.

Thank you for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, I'm not able to download any programs or commands so I'm stuck trying to figure out how to write the code.

It's not a program. It's implemented as an Acrobat Custom Command that can be easily imported into Acrobat Pro DC and... here's the important part... is subject to all of the security restrictions of Acrobat. The same restrictions that your own code would have.
