AP will reject a stamp that looks unofficial. Apply an approved-style stamp reading 'APPROVED — [approver=Lisa Monroe], [date=15 July 2026]' on the cover page, center it so it prints clearly, and archive a non-stamped original copy so finance can audit approvals if requested.

The payment batch sits unprocessed because approver signatures weren’t captured. I can add an 'APPROVED — [approver=Lisa Monroe], [date=15 July 2026]' stamp, but I’m worried about audit rules that require a dated signature or original scanned sign-off. Tell me whether a stamped approval is acceptable for AP audit, whether I should keep the unstamped original, and recommend how to format and place the stamp so it meets internal control expectations before I mark the file.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

about this task

Go to 'All tools' and select 'Add a stamp'.
Choose 'Custom stamps' and then 'Create'.
Select your company logo file (e.g., JPEG, PDF, AI).
Give your new stamp a name and save it.
Now you can use your logo as a stamp on any document.

A stamp is simply an image or text placed on the document, like a visual mark. It does not offer any security or proof of authenticity. A digital signature, however, is a secure electronic mark that proves who signed the document and that the document has not changed since it was signed. Use a stamp for visual marking, but use a digital signature when legal proof or security is needed for the document.

You would use a dynamic stamp when you need information like your name, the date, or the time to appear automatically on the stamp. Regular custom stamps are static images. Dynamic stamps save you time because they pull this information from your Acrobat Identity preferences, ensuring accuracy and consistency without manual typing each time you apply the stamp to a document.

You can use PDF files.
You can use JPEG image files.
You can also use PSD (Photoshop), AI (Illustrator), or DWG (AutoCAD) files.

A custom stamp is a personalized image or document that you can place on your PDF files. It works by letting you upload your own PDF, JPEG, PSD, AI, or DWG file to be used as a stamp. Once created, you can select it from the 'Custom stamps' menu and click anywhere on your document to place it. It's useful for branding, watermarks, or marking documents with specific visual cues.
