Good morning, i´v managed to create a custom stamp date...but i need the stamp to print the original date of creation of the document, stated on is propoerties...not the actual date or the date the doc was moved or copied...Thanks in advance

Hi all,

hank you for the support....i´v  managed creating a simple stamp with the sript code

event.value = (new Date()).toString(); AFDate_FormatEx("h:MM tt, mmm dd, yyyy");

not the creation date but the actual date....

now i´m tryng to do this task:.

every doc shows the date when is printed. (ex: this doc was printed on xx.xx.xxxx)

what is the best solution (adobe acrobat dc)

after a few tests i have a doc that is working....i tought that it was with the code

var inch = 72;
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++) {
var aRect = this.getPageBox( {nPage: p} );
aRect[1] = .5*inch;
aRect[3] = aRect[1] - 24; // and 24 points high

var f = this.addField("PrintField", "text", p, aRect )
f.delay = true;
f.textSize = 16;
f.textFont = font.HelvB;
f.textColor = color.black;
f.alignment = "center";
f.readonly = true;
f.display = display.noView;
f.delay = false;
}

var myWillPrintScript = 'var f = this.getField("PrintField"); \r'
+ 'f.value = "This document was printed on " + util.printd("m/d/yyyy hh:MM", new Date());

put it in javacript action " this document was printed on"

but trying to do with another doc and it is not working...

Please somebody help me

You can create a simple button with a Javascript on it that can be copied from one file to the other.

The javascript have to contains the next code:

Hi,

i´v tried just as you sugested but with no results....is this correct?

var strMsg = util.printd("ddd, mmmm dd, yyyy",event.source.source.creationDate);
strMsg += " at " + util.printd("h:MM:ss tt", event.source.source.creationDate);
this.getField("DateCreation").value = strMsg;

Thank you

Good morning,

Sorry if i did not explain it well.....basically i work for a company in Portugal. One of our customers wants to purchase adobe acrobat dc, but it ask for a specific operation; but that when necessary the printed doc will have the date of its creation. After a little investigation i found the process of creating a "custom stamp"

"How To Create Custom Dynamic Stamps - idtPlans LLC " made the steps described in this link.

I need help to know if this is possible, and what is the correct process.

in the opened pdf doc, selecting its properties, there is its creation date, that´s the information we need to be printed.

Thank you once again

Where did you place this code?
