Javascript for Print Date/Time stamping

Question

Is there a Javascript function that will write the date printed date/time stamp into a PDF document when it is printed?Thanks,

That's an interesting thought, but once the Word file is saved as PDF it seems all the "automation intelligence" goes away. If I put a field in the footer, for example, that reflects the print date when printed, then when it is converted to PDF the Date becomes static.

I'm not aware of a way of running a script automatically when a file is first created, unless it's done from within Acrobat itself, and even then it's tricky.

I answered a very similar question earlier today: How to add a self-updating date in footer of a PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

To add the date to the field change this part of the code:

util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d)

To:

util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", d)
