This file is created and opened immediately when the "ok" button on the create tool is pressed. The stamp file opened in Bluebeam is shown on the right side of the image below.
Bluebeam revu hacks pdf#
When the stamp is placed on a PDF page, Bluebeam replaces the placeholder with the indicated value. This placeholder word is put into a text annotation on the stamp. Instead, it uses "Placeholder" words in a special format, i.e., "&", as shown in the image below. The dynamic part of the stamp does not use scripting like stamps in Acrobat. Unfortunately, this style of dynamic stamp is not compatible with Acrobat, but it is easy for users so it's worth a quick discussion. This particular template creates a simple dynamic stamp. In the image below the "Template" "Text with Date and Border" is selected. When activated, the Create Stamp tool displays a dialog for defining basic stamp parameters. The main use for this option is to designate a master stamp folder on a network drive that is shared by all users on the network, a feature sorely lacking in Acrobat. This options allows the user to designate any folder as a stamp file folder. Related to this is the "Change Stamp Folder" option at the bottom of the stamp menu. It also makes it easy for developers, who don't have to explain complicated installation procedures to the user. This is very helpful if users don't know or care about the location of the stamp folder. The import tool copies stamp files directly into the Bluebeam Revu stamp folder, without making any changes. On the other hand, the Bluebeam Create and Import tools are very useful. The only good way to handle stamps in Acrobat is to manually copy the stamp file into one of the Acrobat Stamp Folders. This is explained in detail in the All About PDF Stamps articles. In fact, I would strongly suggest you never use them. For Acrobat, unless you are creating/importing static stamps the Create and Manage options on the Acrobat Stamp menu are fairly useless. So for Bluebeam it is important that the stamp file is well named. Basically, an Acrobat stamp file can contain many stamps (each with its own name), whereas a Bluebeam stamp file can contain only one stamp. This shows a major difference in how stamp files are organized between the two apps, which will be discussed in detail below. The difference between the applications is that Acrobat displays a true stamp name, whereas Bluebeam displays the stamp file name. Names are important for easy identification, especially when differentiating between similar stamps. Each application also displays a name for each stamp on the menu. This is shown for the Bluebeam Revu stamp menu, but the small stamp images on the Acrobat menu inside the categories is nearly identical. It's likely this will change in later versions since categories are just too useful a feature to ignore.īoth applications list stamps on the menu as a small image of the stamp. Unfortunately Bluebeam does not recognize stamp categories in versions 2018 or earlier. In Bluebeam, the stamps are selected directly off the menu, which can get quite long. Categorizing, or grouping, stamps is very helpful for reducing the number of entries on the stamp menu, as well as making particular stamps easy to find by putting them in related groups. A category is opened up to expose the individual stamps (not shown in screenshot). The stamp menu in Acrobat lists the stamp categories. Selecting the stamp from the menu is a bit different in each app. The stamp can then be moved, rotated, and resized. In both apps the user selects a stamp from the stamp menu, and then clicks on the PDF to place it. While Acrobat and Bluebeam have some stamp compatibility, the stamp UI is very different.
