If you want to add both pieces of information at the same time, then Bernd's suggestion of using a custom dynamic stamp is the better solution. See here for more information: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamic_stamp_secrets

I added a feature " add text" to the quick menu at the top. That feature was always placing text behind if I moved it over the stamp. Using a text box or adding a comment seams to work. Thank You.
