Paste a clipboard image as a stamp
There are three ways to apply a stamp:
From the top toolbar, choose Comments > Add Stamp, choose the appropriate stamp (the pointer changes to resemble the stamp's icon), then click the document where you would like to apply the stamp.
From the annotations toolbar, click on the down arrow on the Stamps button, choose the appropriate stamp (the pointer changes to resemble the stamp's icon), then click the document where you would like to apply the stamp.
From the annotations toolbar,
click on the Stamps button, 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 "RubberStamp,"
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.
To manage your custom stamps: From the top toolbar, go to Comments > Add Stamp > Manage Stamps to show the Manage Stamps dialog. The dialog shows a tree of existing stamps and a stamp toolbar to work with the tree. The stamp toolbar has buttons to create, delete, and edit stamps and folders.
The tree will initially have a folder named standard which contains the following stamps: As Is, Approved, Confidential, Departmental, Draft, Experimental, Expired, Final, For Comment, For Public Release, Not Approved, Not for Public Release, Sold, and Top Secret.
The stamp tree can be modified using the buttons in the stamp toolbar:
Adds
a new stamp to the tree.

Brings
up the edit dialog for the currently selected stamp.
Deletes
the currently selected node.
