Dynamic Exhibit Stamp on MACOS 12 Monterey

I am looking to set up a dynamic stamp on MACOS 12 Monterey for Acrobat Pro DC; I have previously used stamps to set Exhibit numbers and it was rather simple.

I'd download the exhibit stamp file, add new stamp, add the dynamic stamp, and then when I used the stamp, a dialogue box would pop up and ask me which number I'd like to show for the exhibit. But now that I'm using MACOS 12, it does not work the same as on Windows.

Now I created the stamp in the same manner but when I attempt to apply the stamp, it does not pop up the dialogue box asking for a number. How do!?

You should not be creating a new stamp from the file you downloaded, but instead copy it directly into the Stamps folder of the application. I'm not sure what it would be on a Mac but you can find out by executing this code from the JS Console in Acrobat:

app.getPath("user", "stamps");

Ah! Thank you.

I assumed because I was over in MacLand I should just create the stamp inside Acrobat - because I couldn't find the stamps folder. So, I ran that code, found the path, then figured out there was a hidden folder; showed the hidden folders, got in there, and dumped the Stamps PDF into that Stamps folder and pooof - worked.

Thank you!
