Dear tappedin62;
The best option i foind was not to use the stamp tool, but use the signiture tool. Just create a new signiture & add the stamp image to it, then it will remove the white background automatically. You are done 🙂

I'm new to stamps/signatures, etc. Trying to create several different stamps for signatures of partners in our firm. I found the 'sign' feature and have that done. I'm confused as to what you mean by 'add the stamp image to it'. And do you know if you can have several different signatures in Adobe? thx

thanks to everyone for their comments - works like a charm for me! I just used the magic eraser in PShop to erase the background, and saved it in the default PDF settings with layers option on (PShop CS4) at high quality settings and created a custom stamp with the saved pdf in Acrobat8. works like a charm!

I was finally able to create a transparent signature by saving as a Photoshop PDF file, but the problem is that if my scan my signature at a high resolution (with the image being 1200x300 pixels), then the stamp is so huge I can't even see it all on the screen and have to work to resize it. If I resize the image before saving to 300x75, then it's so grainy that no one would ever believe it's a real signature. How can I get the high resolution but have the stamp be a reasonable size?

unless to used in Printpress 600dpi to start with is more than adaquate. then try reducing the size at that size first then Reduce to 300dpi. then you can reduce to a mangable size with Acrobat. ait would be better to use jpg format or png. or even tif. stay away from the other formats.

There is no Quick Selection tool in CS4.

You need a stamp made with vector (Illustrator, InDesign, InkScape…), these are the only ones that allow the transparency of the background.
Anything made with pixels (Photoshop, GIMP…) cannot have a transparent background when imported in Acrobat, which does not support PNG nor GIF alpha chanel.
