How can I add custom stamps to adobe?

[marcol24122653]

Two things.  I recently changed work computers and would like to know the following:

1st:  Where can I go to find old stamps on old computer?

2nd: Where do I drop stamps to new computer?

Hello?

You get impatient after only seven minutes? Please keep in mind that most of the people on this site are users of Adobe's technology, just like you. We are not getting paid for what we do here.

Stamps are stored in two different locations: On the application level and on the user level. If you still have Acrobat running on this old computer, you can bring up the JavaScript console and execute these two commands:

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

This will tell you the folders where stamps can be found. You then just copy the relevant files to a new computer (using the same mechanism to figure out where they need to be saved).

Karl,

Not impatience.  I thought I was in a chat but thanks for the kind words.

Now, where can I get to the JavaScript console?  I have no clue what that means?

Thanks.

Here is a tutorial about the console. Which version of Acrobat are you using?

Acrobat Pro DC

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

In that case, the tutorial will work. For Acrobat Standard, you would have had to install a custom script.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps

(or without the (x86) if you are on a 32bit system).

and

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Stamps

You may have to adjust the version of the application from e.g. DC to 2015 or 2017, depending on exactly which version you have, but these two paths should get you in the right direction.
