I would like that, whenever a user chooses to print the PDF content on paper, the printing date to be stamped on it.

    You can use a form field that is invisible on screen but visible when printed.
    And fill this (or these) field(s) with the current date using a script, either when the document is opened or when it is printed ("Doc will print" event).

      You can use the following code to do that:

      this.getField("PrintDate").value = "Printed on: " + util.printd("dd/mm/yyyy", new Date());
