Dynamic Stamps

Our IT group registered all of our Adobe licenses in one master account. Each user has their, own unique license. For years, we've each been able to use the dynamic stamps with our own name showing without an issue. Recently, we migrated to the cloud and all got new computers. Now, the names on the stamps change all the time. For example, if I used a stamp with my name on it, when someone else opens Acrobat on their machine, which has a different license, my name shows up so they have to change the name to their own by editing their identity. Is there a way to stop the names from continually changing? I have tried to set the properties to default, but that did not help.

When you install the stamp file, make sure that it is read-only, so that nobody can change it. That should take care of the problem.

Hi Karl, can you please tell me how to make it read-only? The stamps we are using weren't installed since they are the default that comes with the softare (had your name and is date and time stamped for our auditors). Thank you.

That's odd... I would avoid digging through the registry to figure out where that setting is stored, and just try an uninstall, run Adobe Cleaner (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html) and then re-install to see if that fixed it. It's possible that something in Acrobat's configuration got corrupted, and the Cleaner should be able to fix that.

Hi -

This might not the right place to post my question, but it seems you probably know the answer. So here goes.

I send a file to approvers using "send comments via email" option. When they receive the email, they open the file, then place a green "approved" stamp on the document, which shows their names, dates and times. However, we found out the approvers can edit the identy of the stamp, so they can change the name on the stamp to be someone else. There is even a way to change the property of the comment to it shows the same someone else made the comment.

Is there anyway for me as the ower of the file to prevent those approvers to edit the identity of the stamp and change the property of the comment?

I'm looking for a secure way to obtain approvals, and would like to use the stamp function, not the digital signatures.

Thanks so much!
