This doesn't seem like it should be hard, but I have been unable to find information on how to do it.

I have about 100 PDF files. Somewhere on them, I need to display "Date Printed: dd mmm yyyy", and have the current date displayed.

I don't care whether this is placed at the top of the page, the bottom, or opaque in the background.

I would like to be able to accomplish it using the batch command, but will perform manually if necessary.

I have Acrobat 7 Professional.

Can someone please help me out?

Hi Dave,

I've played around with the headers/footers too. For the date style you need I think you are going to have to do this with JavaScript, or get your compliance department to change the accepted date format :)

Take a look at the util.printd command in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference doc.

Best of luck,

Dimitri

Okay, I follow that process, but that only works for static text as far as I can tell. I need to have the current date populate, but in the "01NOV2005" format.

Is there a way to get the current date in the headers/footers OTHER THAN the process you already told me about?

well , esentially when you are editing your batch sequence & are in the headers and footers area, you can actually type custom text into the fields listed above. Just add the info you want in the orientation you want then go ahead and batch the files.

I'm new to Acrobat, could you elaborate on how I might do what you are referring to?

well you could add custom text and just type that date in the colum you want instead of inserting the auto date, but it looks like the auto date is limited to what you see.

Hey Pat -

That got me 95% there. However, for compliance reasons I must format the date like this: 01 NOV 2005. I don't see a formatting option for this.

Any ideas?

you can batch that: adv> batch> new sequence> name> select commands> add header & footer> chost it and say edit> add the date style you like and press ok.

then just run the batch.

hope that helps,
pat
