Stamps with $variables

Post by tracusr »

Hi,

is it possible to integrate variables into the stamp like $currentdate, $date, $time and some more usefull things?
I need a stamp like "recieved 19.05.2009".

Thank you for your answers.

Each stamp represents a fixed image, it can't be changed dynamically. However, you can create your own stamps and add them to the stamp palette. See the following thread:

Hi,

also 'Dynamic stamps' are coming - much of the code is already complete, we hope this will make it into build 42 - if not build 43 for sure.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Build 42 has not been released yet. When its ready you can check to see if variables in stamps have been implemented.

Build 42 contains support of Dynamic Stamps but for now there are some troubles with them so we didn't announce this feature.
Also for now we don't provide functionality for dynamic stamps creation, but can uses such stamps created by Adobe Acrobat.
For example, you can try to copy Dynamic.pdf from
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps\ENU\Dynamic.pdf"
(or where it is installed if it is)
into "Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps" subfolder of you Application Data folder:
under Vista/Window7 it is
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps"

under W2k/XP it is
"C:\Documents And Settings\<user>\Application Data\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps"
