Modifying Existing Stamps

 
The stamp collections that are installed as a part of AcroPlot Matrix can be modified by opening the stamp source files, changing the stamp text, and then saving the file with the new modifications. Not all stamp source files in PDF applications can be modified in this way. The stamp source files in AcroPlot Matrix have been created in such a way that they contain interactive or fillable PDF fields which allow these types of modifications.
 
In the example below, we will demonstrate how to modify the text in an existing stamp in AcroPlot Matrix.
 
 
1.       Launch AcroPlot Matrix and open a stamps collection source file found in:
 
Windows 7 or Vista
 
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps
 
 
Windows XP(SP3)
 
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.     Depending on the settings in your AcroPlot Matrix, the parts of the file that are changeable may or may not be highlighted in light blue. To enable form field highlighting, go to EDIT > PREFERENCES > FORMS and select the “Highlight All Form Fields” checkbox and then select the “Apply” button. This setting is not needed to edit the stamps PDF, but it does assist in quickly determining which parts of the stamp are changeable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3.     Select whichever stamp needs to be modified and make sure the “Hand Tool” is selected so you can click on the text to begin editing. In the example below, we will change the word “APPROVED” to “CHANGED”.
 
 
 
 
 
 
4.     When done modifying the stamp select FILE > SAVE and then FILE > CLOSE to exit editing the AcroPlot Matrix stamp source file.
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.     Now open a file in AcroPlot Matrix and apply the modified stamp. Very cool!
