Adding custom marks to your own stamp category

You can create your own marks in graphics programs, such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, and then use them as stamps in Acrobat 6. To do this, convert the graphic image you want to use as a stamp to either a JPEG, GIF, or bitmap file. You can also convert Illustrator and Photoshop files saved in their native format (AI or PSD).
After you have the mark saved, follow these steps to make it available as a stamp in Acrobat 6:

1. Choose Tools>Commenting>Stamp Tool>Create Custom Stamp or simply click Create Custom Stamp on the Stamp tool pop-up menu. The Create Stamp dialog box opens.
2. Click the Select button to open the Select dialog box.
3. Click the Browse button, and in the Open dialog box that appears, locate the desired graphic and click the Select button to return to the Select dialog box.
4. Click OK to close the Select dialog box and return to the Create Stamp dialog box.
5. Enter the name you want to give the stamp (something with the company name or a description of the mark) in the Name text box, enter a name in the Category drop-down list box or select a previously created custom category, and then click the OK button.

After you add a custom graphic as a new stamp, its category, name, and thumbnail appear on the Stamp tool pop-up menu as well as the Acrobat menu bar, and you can start using it in the PDF documents you’re reviewing as you would any of the other built-in stamps. After clicking the Stamp tool, select your new custom imprint on the Stamp tool submenus and then click the Stamp tool mouse pointer at the location in the current PDF document where you want the stamp to appear. If you want to delete a custom stamp you’ve created, choose Manage Stamps on the Stamp tool pop-up menu, and in the Manage Stamps dialog box that appears, select the custom stamp for deletion by choosing its category and name in the drop-down lists before clicking the Delete button. When you’re finished deleting custom stamps, click the OK button to close the Manage Stamps dialog box. Note that you can also invoke the Create Stamps dialog box by clicking the Create button in the Manage Stamps dialog box.
