How to change the date on the dynamic stamp. I am trying to stamp documents that I received last month, but the received daynamic stamp has my name and todays date how can I change it to a specific Date in the past

The simplest would be to change the system date, if you're able. Otherwise, you'd have to reconfigure the stamp file. Possibilities would include hardcoding the date or reprogramming to prompt the user for a date.

Thanks it worked. How can I locate the dynamic stamp file on the computer?

See Dynamic stamp secrets using JavaScript and Acrobat XI​  by Thom Parker. You want to search for the "user"  "stamps" folder.

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

The user stamp folder will not appear until a new stamp has been added using the "Create stamp" or "Manage Stamps" to add a new user stamp.

You should have added the stamp using the "Create Custom Stamp" or "Manage Stamps". You may also need to edit the field on the stamp and save it. Do not worry about any errors that may popup. When you apply the stamp the date should change and the name will change to match the logged in user. If the date does not change, open the JavaScript console and see if there are any errors.

Flatten the stamp* and edit it with the "Edit text & image" tool.
