Stamps - Recommended Location?

Post by DGLearning »

Hello, I will be deploying a new set of customized stamps to our staff to replace the existing stamps. However, we have been inconsistent in where our stamps are currently stored. Some users have their stamps in C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Editor\Stamps

While some users have their stamps stored in %AppData%\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Stamps

Is there a recommended location for storing customized stamps?

Hello, DGLearning

The appdata folder is a "per user" location, while the program files folder is shared by all users on the device, so the question becomes more a case of, how "accessible/secure" do these stamps need to be? You may want those with personalized signatures under the appdata folder, but generic items like a company "approved by [name] on [date]" graphic, could be in the program files folder.

You are also able to use a combination of these, so that the more secure stamps for each user are in their own appdata folder, while shared stamps are elsewhere.

I should also note, we do have a method to manually define a custom stamps folder which is useful for environments where you have numerous users on different devices, and want to have a central location to manage the stamps everyone can access.
This is done via group policy, and is details at the bottom of this page: https://help.pdf-xchange.com/sysadmin/e ... neous.html
Specifically, the policy is named "Path to Shared Stamp Collections"
