Adding a custom stamp to deployment package using Acrobat Customization Wizard DC

New Here ,
Apr 06, 2024 Apr 06, 2024

I'd like to add custom stamps (the sort that users create that are located in the %APPDATA%\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Stamps folder) to the deployment package using Acrobat Customization Wizard DC. What's the best practice? Will adding them to "ProgramFiles64Folder\Adobe\Acrobat DC\plug_ins\Stamps\ENU\" work (and is that the best option) or is there another way to do this? Thanks!

That is the app folder. You should use the user equivalent:

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\<Version>\Stamps

That was my initial intention. (%APPDATA% is the Windows system variable for C:\Users\<Current User>\AppData\Roaming\ so we're talking about the same thing.) I know how to do this manually, but what I'm looking to do is automate this in the deployment package of Acrobat Pro DC so when I install the app on the dozens of machines that will have it, I don't need to go back afterward and add custom stamps to each user's Stamps folder. I assume that is something I should be able to do in Acrobat Customization Wizard DC, I'm just struggling to figure out how. Assuming I can use Acrobat Customization Wizard DC to implement that in the deployment package, where in Acrobat Customization Wizard DC do I add that so it creates the Stamps folder in the installing-user's roaming appdata folder and then copies the custom stamp to that folder? There doesn't seem to be a way to add a folder under Destination Computer and so I'm not sure how to accomplish your suggestion. Is this something I need to use Direct Editor instead of Files and Folders to accomplish? If so, what in Direct Editor do I need to change? If not, where do I make this change? Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with the Customization Wizard, but wouldn't it be easier to do it outside of it? All you need to do is copy the stamp files into this folder once the installation has finished. A simple shell command should do the trick.

That's what I'm doing now. While for one or two that is easier, across an entire organization it is very cumbersome. I assume that is why Adobe created Acrobat Customization Wizard DC in the first place--to reduce having extra administrative tasks when deploying Acrobat Pro DC to an organization. The Help documentation that Adobe provides with the wizard is not very helpful, so I'm turning to the forum for assistance.
