Save file for Dynamic Stamp overriding each other

Hi @elizabeth_0711, 

Thanks for sharing the issue you’re running into. It sounds like your custom dynamic stamp files are being overwritten when saved with the same filename. This can definitely be frustrating, especially if you’re maintaining multiple versions or testing updates. With the limited information available, I am assuming a number of things here.

Here are a few suggestions to help avoid this problem:

Tips to Prevent Dynamic Stamp Overwrites:

1. Use Unique Filenames for Each Stamp

• Acrobat identifies dynamic stamps based on the filename of the stamp PDF. If you save multiple custom stamps with the same name (e.g., DynamicStamp.pdf), Acrobat will overwrite the old one.
• → Try renaming your stamp file to something like: DynamicStamp_DeptA.pdf, DynamicStamp_2024v2.pdf, etc.

2. Save to the Correct Stamps Folder

Double-check that your stamp files are being saved to the correct path:

• Windows: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\<version>\Stamps

• macOS: /Users/<YourName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/<version>/Stamps

3. Restart Acrobat After Adding New Stamps

• Acrobat sometimes caches stamps. After adding or replacing a stamp, restart the app to see the latest version.

   

4. Add Metadata in the Stamp Itself

• If you’re using JavaScript in your dynamic stamp, consider including version info in the code or stamp display. This can help differentiate them visually, even if files get mixed.
