Question

I’d like to do a Dynamic Stamp with an incremental number.

 Hello Community.

 

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

 

I’d like to do a Dynamic Stamp with an incremental number.

So for example, I click on a stamp that says “SPOOL”, and each time it’s applied to the page the number would increase i.e. “SPOOL 1″, “SPOOL 2″, “SPOOL 3″, etc….

 

I would like also that countinous numbering could be edditable. So I could stop my actuall stamping and start again with “SPOOL 2″  for example.

 

Is it possible in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    You'll find a couple of increment stamps here (available to members):

    https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/All_About_PDF_Stamps.cfm

    and also scripts for creating your own incrementing stamps. Same as the book JR linked.

     

    I believe there is a free auto-incrementing (legal exhibit) stamp available here:

    You should read this book, I never regretted it. The return on investment is made from the 2nd or 3rd chapter.

      You can hold the number in a global variable.
