I would like to automatically flatten document when dynamic stamp is applied.

Question

Good afternoon,I am looking to automatically flatten my document when I place a dynamic stamp. I am pretty new to Java and have cobbled together code to make my stamp, learning on the way.I have tried adding this.flattenPages() to the script, but when I do Acrobat crashes when I place the stamp.I cannot install the menu bar script to add a flatten document button, because I don't have admin permissions.Thank you in advance for any help.Patrick

The Stamp script runs between the time that you click on the page and the stamp gets added to the page. If you try to flatten the page in that time... well... you see what happens.

However, if you put this.flattenPages() as the cExpr parameter in a setTimeOut method with (maybe) a 250 millisecond delay, it should work since the code won't execute until 250 milliseconds elapses.
