You apply a stamp to a PDF in much the same way you apply a rubber stamp to a paper document. You can choose
from a list of predefined stamps, or you can create your own stamps. Dynamic stamps obtain information from your
system and from the Identity panel of the Preferences dialog box, allowing you to indicate name, date, and time infor-
mation on the stamp.
The Stamp tool appears on the Comment & Markup toolbar, by default.
Open the Stamps palette
❖ Do one of the following:
• Choose Tools > Comment & Markup > Stamps > Show Stamps Palette.
