Our old document control system quick working and need some help. It would automatically print a statement and date at the bottom of every page when printed. The documents are created in word but we create a PDF copy so changes can't be made without authorization. I can create a field in word but it doesn't update when converted to PDF. How do I get the date field to automatically update in the PDF?

Thanks for the feedback but 1 quick question. If I have a document with 12 pages, for instance, if I wanted this date printed on each page (like our old system), would I need to create this on each page individually?

You can create the field on one page and then duplicate it to the rest, by right-clicking it (in Prepare Form mode) and selecting Duplicate Across Pages.

What script does you use? Where does you use the script?

Thank you for the response. The script is applied in the Page Properties, duplicated on every page. It works perfectly if the password protection is not enabled.
