How can I use my Window custom stamp which displays the username and the current date on a Mac

I would like to use on a Mac the same custom stamp that I use on my PC. The stamp should automatically display the current date und the username. I save the Window stamp on the Mac and I could load it as a stamp on a PDF-File. But the current date and the username are not displayed. How can I get them? I am working with Acrobat Reader DC version 2015

But when I start it and I get the JavaScript Debugger, how can I use it?

Cannot you see the read me under the green question mark ?

On Mac OS you must hit the ALT key before clicking in the GO* menu to see and access your "Library" folder.

(* I cannot be sure of the English item since I don't use an English OS)

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the question mark before. Actually I didn't use the utility PDF you've sent to me. I got the right path and the right folder by pressing ALT before clicking on the Go To button as you mentioned before. I didn't thought about that but it was easy and exactly what I was looking for. Now my certification stamp is working with Acrobat Reader on the Mac too. Thank you anyway for your help.

Thank you for the utility. But when I start it and I get the JavaScript Debugger, how can I use it? And once I have the appropriate directory, how can I copy my stamp in it? I have really no idea about the operating system of Mac. I don't understand why it is not possible to get such a directory or folder directly from the Finder. Thank you in advance for you help.

Did you copy the stamp PDF file over from the Stamps folder of the Windows machine to the one on the Mac machine, or did you attempt to create a new stamp from within the application using that file? You need to do the former.

I've just copied the file from the stamp Folder of the PC to any Folder on the Mac. I still dont know the right Location to save the file on the Mac and how can I get it. On the Finder (equivalent to Window Explorer) I can't see the similar directories.

Hi.

If your stamp works with Acrobat Reader DC for Windows it should works as same with Acrobat Reader DC for Mac OS…

Do you know in which Directory should I save the custom stamp (actually it's a PDF File) on the Mac and how can I get it?
