Stamp a document
Commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically
include commenting rights.
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.
