· It is common to name each one using the numeral
it represents (e.g. 1, 2, etc)

o Repeat these steps to add the numbers 2 thru 10.

§ Link to Dingbat – solid circles containing
numbers
§ Link to Mathematical Operators that includes
other common symbols and punctuation
o You can repeat the steps above to make other
unique palettes your firm may wish to use (e.g. circled letters in various
colors).
o Navigate to c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Tracker
Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Stamps
o Each PDF in this directory will represent one of
the stamp collections you created in the steps above. (They may have unique alphanumeric
file names as they are created and automatically as you add each stamp to a stamp collection).
§ Before copying these PDFs, we recommend opening
each one to identify which stamp collection it contains, then closing it and renaming
it with a right click to match the stamp collection name it represents. This
step is not mandatory but is highly advisable for administration purposes.
o Copy each of these PDFs (there should be one PDF
for each stamp palette you create) to the computer and path for each user
c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Stamps.
§ You will only need to copy the PDFs you created
with custom stamps in new stamp collections. The PDFs named 2017 Tickmarks,
Signatures, and Numbers do not need to be copied as these are already on each
computer the Doc.It Client is on.
o When you copy the PDFs to the server path
listed, each Doc.It client should pick them up automatically the next time the
client is restarted.
