Custom Dynamic Stamp Allowing Custom User Text

Aug 9, 2012 12:40 PM

Categories: Windows Tags: #acrobat #x #dynamic #stamp

Maybe there are too many results to read through... I've searched and searched to no avail...

 

I've created a custom dynamic stamp (in Acrobat Pro X) but I want to be able to enter whatever text I want into the field and I seem to be doing something wrong.  There's no way that this isn't an option... is there?

 

I've checked "Value Is Not Calculated" but once I insert the stamp, I don't know how to add text to the field.

Maybe this is a super-newbie question, but I'm stumped and would REALLY appreciate a hint!

 

Thanks a lot!

    Yes, you can use the 'app.response' method or the Dialog object.

    Sorry for the delay in replying.  Technical difficulties...

     

    While I usually prefer to be taught "how to fish", this time, I would really appreciate someone just giving me the fish.  I hate to ask, but I've already spent more than enough time trying to figure this out.  I have the stamp, I've added the following script, but when I insert the stamp into a PDF, I am still unable to edit the text.

     

    var cResponse = app.response({
    cQuestion: "Enter the Project Number",
    cTitle: "Project Number",
    cLabel: "Project Number:"
    });
    if (cResponse == null) {
    event.value = "*NVALID*";

    }

    else
    event.value = cResponse;

     

    I appreciate any further suggestions.
