I started with the stamp blank, but I’ve opted to have it display a text message that says “delete me!” I don’t know if there would be any harm in leaving blank annotations on a production pdf, but I’d rather not field (pun intended) questions about it.

In acrobat I used to have a tool that did this same thing, and was able to create a toolbar button that would run the javascript, without having a stamp associated with it.

Thanks! The purpose of the tool is so we don’t get caught with non-standard paper sizes in a report.

These are engineering reports, and it usually isn’t appropriate to print to fit. So when the copier gets to a paper size it can’t print, it stops until someone presses a button to choose the paper for that sheet. Checking the sizes of all the sheets ahead of time can save a lot of time when printing many copies of a voluminous report.

For me, personally, I can delete the empty stamp after placing it. But I’m not actually the person who prints and binds reports. I’d like others in our company to be able to use it … but with as little training as possible.
