Add Curent Date & Time to PDF when Printed

GKaiseril

Thank you so much, I got it and it worked perfect courtesy of "hardDriver2". For anybody else who is looking to do this see below.

---------------------------------------------

// Description: This script adds a text field to the left side of all

// pages. It also sets a doc level JavaScript that executes when the

// document is printed and fills the field with date.

// Add field to each page of form

var inch = 72;

for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++) {

    // create rectangle quads for field

    var aRect = this.getPageBox( {nPage: p} );

    aRect[0] = 0.0;

    aRect[1] = 0.0;

    aRect[2] = 26.0;

    aRect[3] = 792;

    // now construct text field to fill with date information

    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.print = true;

    f.hidden = true;

    f.delay = false;

}

for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++) {

    // rotate the text 

    var f = this.getField("PrintField." + p)

    f.rotation = 90;

    }

// Adds a doc level script to populate text field when doc prints from

// Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Note: the '\r' character represents a

// carriage return.

var myWillPrintScript = 'var f = this.getField("PrintField"); \r' + 'f.hidden = false; \r' + 'var d = new Date(); \r' + 'var year = d.getYear()+1900; \r' + 'f.value = "THIS DOCUMENT ONLY EFFECTIVE ON " + (d.getMonth()+1) + "/" + d.getDate() + "/" + year; \r'

var myDidPrintScript = 'var f = this.getField("PrintField"); \r'

                           + 'f.value = ""; \r'

                           + 'f.hidden = true; \r'

// Now set the scripts to execute on the Will/Did Print events.

this.setAction("WillPrint", myWillPrintScript);

this.setAction("DidPrint", myDidPrintScript);
