Dynamic Stamps- changing the username

New Here ,
Dec 01, 2023 Dec 01, 2023

Whenever I apply a dynamic stamp to a file, the wrong username is inserted.  Where does Acrobat Pro store that info?

I created a signature with my name, so not sure why I'm getting the username of an old account on the dynamic stamps.

Acrobat Pro DC, Windows 10 64-bit.

A stamp without scripts is not a dynamic stamp.

Which scripts does you use in the dynamic stamp?

I haven't used any scripts not supplied by Adobe.

This computer was a fresh Windows install and then fresh Acrobat/Photoshop installs using Adobe Cloud.  I think the old user name is stored by Adobe somehow.

I was able to go through the registry and changed all instances of the wrong name under an Adobe product, which fixed this problem.  It would be interesting to find out where in the Cloud that wrong username is stored.

If it is a fresh install, there are no instances of a wrong name stored.

The built-in stamps use the Name property under Preferences - Identity, or if that's empty, the Login Name.

You can set the former, but not the latter. That is your user-name on the machine.

And they do use a script for that, of course.
