Rubber Stamp Annotation

The Rubber Stamp tool allows you to place a designated stamp on the page similar to using an ink stamp on paper.

Applying a Rubber Stamp Annotation

There are two ways to apply a stamp:

From the Comment Tab toolbar, click on the down arrow on the Rubber Stamp button, and select the stamp that you wish to use. Then click the document where you would like to apply the stamp.
Click directly on the Rubber Stamp in the Comment Tab on the toolbar and then click the document where you would like to apply the stamp.
- This method will change the pointer to the most recently used stamp, or the default stamp if one has been selected. Hovering the mouse over the Stamps button will display a tooltip with the name of the stamp currently saved. If no stamp has been used, and no stamp is set as a default stamp, the tooltip will say "Rubber Stamp" and clicking on the button will display the drop down menu of stamps. A stamp can be set to default by editing the stamp from the Manage Stamps dialog, and selecting the 'Save as default' check box on the edit stamp dialog.
