There are 3 steps involved. Here describes the steps to create a dynamic date stamp with transparent background in Adobe Acrobat stamps and in Windows 10.
- Create a blank word doc
- Create a custom blank stamp
- Add data on blank stamp
1. Create a blank word doc
Open a word document. Change the page setup.
Select portrait
Choose the following paper size
Save the word document on the desktop.
2. Create a custom blank stamp
Open any PDF file, select comment/stamp icon/custom stamps/create custom stamp
Click browse, change the file type from Adobe PDF Files to Microsoft Office Word
Select the word doc created before. Click Ok. Named the category and name.
3.Add data on blank stamp
The stamp file created could be located in the following directory
Open the file, click Tools/Edit and yes. go to the blank file, Add New Field/Text Field.
Fill in the Name, select tab Calculate, select Custom calculation script:/edit
add the following sentence:
event.value = (new Date()).toString();
AFDate_FormatEx("dd mmm yyyy");
and ok, save and close the file.
By now the dynamic date stamp is available in the stamp icon, in the directory chosen. However any changes to manage/edit the stamp name would nullify the dynamic properties of the stamp. To prevent this from occurs, copy the file created just now and paste it to the following directory.
As the file name would be irregular, rename it to an easily identified file name. By now, the new stamp would be available within the stamp icon but is not possible to manage or edit.
Th date stamp can be overlapped with the original text without covering it.
