Interactive digital stamp

[chriswelch72]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create an interactive form which I can then use to add to other PDFs as a kind of stamp so it can be passed on for other people to fill in. Any ideas on how this can be done. I know how to create interactive forms and stamps, just can't seem to get the two to work. Screen grab attached was done manually. Create the stamp then add the interactive bit. I'm trying to get this as some sort of pre-made file i can just add to a PDF and pass it on.

Many thanks in advance.

Interactive stamps are a complex subject, but it's important to understand what they can and can't do before starting to work on one. Once a stamp has been applied it is flattened, which means the fields in it are no longer interactive and can't be edited as such. If you want something that can be edited more than once then a stamp is not the way to go. You need to use regular form fields (or comments) for that.

As try states, the stamp itself it static after placement. So a stamp by itself won't do what you have proposed. What you need are scripts to manage your workflow. The stamp can be a part of this. But how it's done depends on your specific situation.  For example, can install a script on the computer for other people in this process?  Contact me through this site or www.windjack.com you are interested custom consuting/development on this issue.
