I am using Acrobat Pro DC on a Mac and I do not know anything about scripting. I would like to create a custom dynamic stamp that includes time and date. I found Thom Parker's "The Acrobat JavaScript Console (Your best friend for developing Acrobat JavaScript)". Following his instructions, I enter app.getPath("app", "stamps") in the console I get /MacintoshHD/Applications/Adobe Acrobat DC/Adobe Acrobat.app/Contents/Plugins/Comments.acroplugin/Contents/Resources/Stamps/. His instructions then say I should access the directory. My problem is that I do not know how to access the directory - any assistance will be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

When you get to the "Adobe Acrobat.app" file in Finder, right-click and select: Show Package Contents

Thanks!

I did that and followed through to /Stamps/ . The ENU folder has six PDFs; the one labeled "Dynamic.pdf", when opened, shows six standard dynamic "stamps" but not the four custom stamp PDFs I created which I wish to modify. Is the ENU folder the wrong folder?

This is the folder of the app stamps. To find the user stamps open the JS Console in Acrobat (Cmd+J), paste this code into it and then press Shift+Enter and it should be printed out:

app.getPath("user", "stamps");
