Copying a Custom Dynamic Stamp

Question

I created a stamp which has two fields that auto fill in with the current date and user name. I was able to copy the stamp from my custom stamp folder in my user library (Mac OS) to another person's corresponding location on their computer. I know it worked because when they opened Acrobat, the new stamp showed up in their custom stamps menu. But when we applied the stamp to their document, it showed my name in the user name field instead of their name.

What went wrong?

This sounds like your name was actually stored in the form field in the stamp, and the script you are using in the stamp was not executed.

What script are you using?

When you create a dynamic stamp, there are a few things that are important for the whole thing to work:

You need to create a page template using the page that your stamp is on. The stamp template name needs to be something like this:

#internal_stamp_name=The name that gets displayed to the user

If you have a script that displays a dialog, you need to check for certain conditions. You can see all that in Thom Parker's excellent overview: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/print/dynamic_stamp_secrets
