Trying to create a dynamic stamp with current date but won't update

New Here ,
Nov 03, 2023 Nov 03, 2023

Was able to follow this guide:https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/create-custom-dynamicstamp.html to create a dynamic stamp to just show todays date, however, when trying to use this dynamic stamp the following day it will still show the date in which the stamp was created. How do I build a dynamic stamp that will just show the current date that I'm adding the stamp?

there are two issues that can keep a dynamic stamp script from working correctly.

1)  The stamp name is not prefixed with a "#" symbol. In this case the script only executes the first time the stamp is used in a session. If Acrobat is closed and reopened it will run again.

2) The script was destroyed. This can happen when you import a dynamic stamp into Acrobat using the Stamp Manager or just never saved the script after entering it. Both are common issues. 

 

From your description it sounds like #2 is the problem.
