I have been trying to make a dynamic stamp that inserts my identity, the date, and the time. I have been partly successful in that a sample I found on the internet allowed me to return tine and date. I can't find the JavaScript to return my name.

All I actually need is just the proper line(s) of code to enter into the text form field.

I don't think it matters, but I am using a Mac.


TIA!

1. Acrobat Pro?

I just brought up the stamps palette and right clicked a stamp and selected edit identity.
Is that what you mean? I'm on a corporate machine, if that makes a difference.

Sorry....just re-read your post and my answer is total rubbish!

3. I managed to get it working. Here is the script I used.

event.value = "By " + identity.name + " at " + util.printd("h:MM tt, mmm dd, yyyy", new Date());

I have _NO_ idea how this works, but it does. I managed to find a sample on the innertubes and adapted it to work.

if anyone has a better script, I am all ears.

If anyone knows how to make a script that asks for operator input, I'd like to know that next. I want to be able to use a standard stamp but check one of a series of check boxes within the stamp. Radio buttons would be good.
