No. The standard Acrobat Stamp Tool is an Acrobat Plugin and cannot be
scripted. Plugins can be written to be used as a batch sequence that
can be initiated via scripts via "Perform"
I have a Watermark plugin that could possibly be made to work as a
batch sequence.
Another method involving using scripts would be to write a Acrobat
JavaScript to make a FreeText annotion then call it in Applescript
using "Do Script" having the JavaScript as a string data type.
More on this...
There are many types of annotations that Acrobat can create. Stamp,
Text, FreeText, Links, Sound, Movies, etc... Only 2 are available via
Applescript- Text (which creates a note type of annotation) and Link
annotation (which takes you to another destination in the document.
Kinda like an HTML link).
JavaScripts allows for access of all annotations.
Enfocus Pitstop Pro in combo with Pitstop server can do this more
effectively.
