How to modify the entries of a custom stamp?

[Peter2]

I just created a custom stamp where I have added some text-fields which have to be filled by the user: Date A, date b, name, location, ...

It seems to work, but how to modify the entries when I find a typo or another man-made mistake?

Thanks for help

Hi Peter,

Can you please share the stamp here so we can take a look? You can export the relevant stamp collection by going to File - Manage Settings - Export Settings, and selecting the stamp collection option in the list.

Kind regards,

Hello, Peter2

Just to clarify, since you mentioned these are fillable/dynamic stamps, and you are asking to fx a man made error. Is it safe to assume that you are wanting to edit the text inside of the already placed stamp item on the page?

If so, technically speaking, stamps are immutable once placed. More practically however, you can simply "flatten" the stamp, via "Right click > "flatten":

then you can use the "edit text" tool to modify the text entries as base content, as it is no longer a "stamp".

Hi Peter,

Thanks, but there are many stamps in that collection - which one is the relevant one?

Kind regards,

@Daniel:

Yes, good point. But in this case the stamp has only content of "information", and the content can have mistakes which have to be corrected. The stamp does not contain a kind of "legal confirmation / signature."

@Sean:

Sorry.
It is the which looks a small sheet - 2 columns, 5 lines, with fields for text.

Thanks Peter.

Yes, I'm afraid, as Dan indicated, that stamps cannot be edited once they have been placed. Your best option is to flatten stamps and then use the Edit Text tool to edit them, as mentioned above.

Kind regards,
