The cursor then turns into an insertion mark with a stamp symbol. The insertion mark shows where the upper left corner of the stamp will be. Just click anywhere in the document, and the stamp will be placed there.
After it is inserted, you can immediately move the object or resize it. Most of these and many more can be acquired from the downloads section of the site. It's easy to create new stamps and categories of stamps, and to transfer these to a different computer, so the same set of stamps can be shared with everyone in an office or work unit. Another way to place a stamp is to copy an image to the clipboard.
The image must be open in an editing program of some type- one with a copy to clipboard function, which they all do. In this case, the stamp cursor will be a plain stamp icon instead of the stamp preview shown in Figure 4. This is a very fast method to stamp any image onto a PDF. Figure 4 - The stamp tool cursor is always a semi-transparent replica of the selected stamp.
If this is the first time the stamp tool has ever been activated, Acrobat will display the Identity dialog. The identity data includes the user's name, company, title, and e-mail. This information is used by all of the markup annotation tools to identify the author of the markup. Acrobat wants you to fill it out before continuing, but it isn't strictly necessary. To do this, select the stamp by clicking on it with the regular cursor.
This displays the re-size and rotate grippers Figure 5. Simply click and drag the appropriate gripper. Each instance of a stamp also has a set of properties that are programmable through a properties dialog. To activate the dialog, right-click on the stamp to display the stamp context menu and select Properties Figure 6. The most important property on the Appearance tab is the opacity.
Nothing behind it can be seen, as long as the stamp itself is solid. It's still there and will react to the cursor, but it cannot be seen. You apply a stamp to a PDF in much the same way you apply a rubber stamp to a paper document. You can choose from a list of predefined stamps, or you can create your own stamps.
Dynamic stamps obtain information from your computer and from the Identity panel of the Preferences dialog box, allowing you to indicate name, date, and time information on the stamp. In the Stamps Palette , choose a category from the menu, and then select a stamp. To rotate a stamp, click it, move the pointer over the handle at the top of the stamp, and drag when the rotate stamp icon appears. In the Appearance tab, set the opacity or color.
Note: To add an image to a PDF one time only, simply paste the image into the document. Pasted images have the same characteristics as other stamp comments; each includes a pop-up note and editable properties. If the file has more than one page, scroll to the page you want, and then click OK. Choose a category from the menu or type a new category name, name the custom stamp, and then click OK.
Edit the category or name of the stamp, or replace the image, and then click OK. You can delete only the custom stamps that you created, not the predefined stamps. Choose the stamp category from the menu, right-click the custom stamp, and choose Delete.
