Any way to stamp my pdf's with ???? and then hunt for them later.. right now i'm doing it like in that image (link). Using the Box-arrow tool and manually sticking ??? in it every time - this is searchable using Find

Hello veekm,

Open the Viewer and to go Tools -> Commenting and Markup Tools -> Show Stamps Palette (near the bottom)
And when the palette shows - add a new stamp from the attached file.
You can then use this to quickly place your four question marks at any location, and later you can search for them - make sure to "Include Comments" in your search.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan, I added your test_stamp.pdf file to my Stamps palette, but i'm not able to find the '????' stamp even after enabling search through comments (Include Comments) and using an 'Image' obviously won't work because that will still be an image in the PDF. I tried both 'Search' tools - the search in my custom tool-bar and the one that shows up on the right. My 'Callout' ???? are found without any problems.

I'm using 2.5 build 213.1 Nov 8 2013

Hi veekm,

I did test once again - and can certainly find the stamps with build 214.1.
Can you test searching in the attached file?

Best,
Stefan

it's flaky.. your second pdf works, so I went back and tried again and I can replicate the problem.

1. Put some arrow boxes with ???? using the callout tool
2. then highlight some crud
3. then stamp on a different page

If there are arrow boxes it won't match the stamp tool

(darn nope - a sec let me upload that problem file - crud, it's too big 40MB)

see if this works?? Chapter 6 has the concerned stamps

Hi veekm,

I'm not seeing any stamps in Chapter 6. Can you point me to a specific page?

Cheers,
