Question

Dropdown Menu for Dynamic Stamps

Hello, I've been experimenting with dynamic stamps on Adobe Acrobat Pro recently and I've been able to figure out how to make a few things work but I'm stuck with Drop-Down lists. I want a stamp that when applied, gives the user a drop-down list of 4 items (5200250, 5200254, 5212254, or 5221254). I'm not sure what Javascript codes I must enter under "calculations" to get this to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Stamps aren't interactive. Once applied, they are what they are until you reset their appearance. Assuming you want all or part of the stamp appearance to be the value of the drop down, you'll want to create a dialog box that has a drop down and then set the value of the field on the stamp to the value of the dropdown. When the user selects the stamp and clicks on the page, the dialog will appear where they can select from the dropdown, once they click OK, the stamp gets applied with the value they selected.

Google "Thom Parker Dynamic Stamps" and you should see a book and a few articles that will get you started.

I don't believe that's possible because at the moment you can run the script to do it the new annotation doesn't exist yet.
