Options of Stamp Properties dialog box

As mentioned earlier, you can attach hidden comments to stamps (see the following section to find out how) and also specify properties for those comments. To change properties for comments made with the Stamp tool, rightclick a stamp imprint in the current document and choose Properties on the context menu to open the Stamp Properties dialog box. The following is a rundown of the options you find there:

• Appearance tab: To change the color used in the title bar of any comment box that you attach to a stamp, click the Pop-up Color button and then click the new color in the palette. To decrease or increase the opacity of the stamp imprint so that you can see more or less of the document background, enter a percentage number in the Opacity text box or move the slider button to the left to decrease the opacity or to the right to increase the opacity of the stamp imprint.
• General tab: To change the author associated with the stamp, click the Author text box and then edit the name. To change the subject of the stamp, click the Subject text box and edit the default text. Note that Acrobat 6 uses your Windows Identity or Log-in name as the default entry in the Author text box for stamps. To use your Acrobat Identity instead for all subsequent notes you create with the Stamp tool, see the instructions at the end of the previous section, “Using the Note tool.”
• Review History tab: Contains a list box that displays any changes in status for the selected comment. When you finish making changes to the settings in the Stamp Properties dialog box, click the Close button to return to the current document. Note that when you close the Stamp Properties dialog box, the imprint is still selected in the current document so that you can resize it and move it to a new place on the page if you need to.

To resize the imprint, position the mouse pointer on one of the sizing handles and then drag diagonally with the double-headed pointer. To move the imprint to a new place on the page (perhaps to the side or above related text or graphic images), position the arrowhead pointer somewhere within its bounding box and then drag its outline and drop it in place. To delete a stamp from the PDF document, right-click (Control+click on the Mac) the Stamp’s imprint and click Delete on its context menu.
