Need help creating/coding a stamp (I Guess)

I have created a custom stamp that functions when it is NOT a stamp. However when placed as a stamp (image) it no longer functions. I've been reading about dynamic stamps but I'm not sure if that's what I need. 

My stamp in commonly used in the construction field for processing submittals. I would like to be able to use it by placing it on a document (as a stamp) then being able to check the appropriate box/boxes then send it on. Do I need to put some java code in there? where would it go.. assistance appreciated. Hard to believe this hasn't been done elsewhere.stampsnip1.JPGstampsnip.JPG

Yes, you have to use a script to populate the fields in the stamp, and it can only be done at the moment it is applied.

Search the forum for "dynamic stamp" to find a lot of resources on this matter. There's even a whole book written on it. Or you could hire a professional developer to do it for you, if you don't want to deal with writing the code.

It sounds like you want to place a "mini-form" onto the PDF? 

This can be done, using the stamp as a template.  You'll need separate tool to flatten the stamp and add the form fields. 

This is not a simple task.
