Ablaufdatum in PDF-Ausdrucke einfügen

[Guest]

Hallo Community,

ich würde gerne auf Ausdrucke von PDF-Dateien ein Ablaufdatum einfügen,

also bspw. im Footer "gedruckt am tt.mm.jjjj" - "gültig bis tt.mm.jjjj (+3 Tage ab Druckdatum)".

Ich benutze Acrobat XI Standard auf einem Win8 Rechner.

Danke schonmal,

Otto

btw, this is by far the WORST built forum i have ever seen!!!

"Changing" a language mixes the language with English and the chosen one.

"Overview" seems to be a Fremdwort here.

The whole site is a mixup between community, store and whatever could fit in ...

No offense meant, but maybe someone starts thinking about it.

Okay, this time in English...

I should insert an expiry date on PDF printouts, i. e., in the footer "printed on dd.mmm.yyyy" (<- no problem to insert this one!!!)

"document expires dd.mmm.yyyy (= printing date + 3 days)"  <- That is the question!

Thanks in advance,

Otto

Do you have Adobe Acrobat? If so, which version?

Adobe Acrobat XI

OK. Are you using a script to insert the current date? If so, post it here.

[NB. I'm moving your question from the Reader forum to one of the Acrobat forums]

No script, just Tools > Pages > Header & Footer

OK, you can't use that if you want to insert a future date.

To do that you would need to use a form field and a script.

Create a read-only, print-only text field and name it "PrintDate".

Now go to Tools - JavaScript - Set Document Actions and under the Will Print event enter this code:

var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate()+3);
this.getField("PrintDate").value = "document expires " + util.printd("dd.mmm.yyyy", d);

Create a read-only, print-only text field and name it "PrintDate".

Where can I create this Text Field?

[try67]

You can add fields in Form Edit mode, which you can reach via Tools - Forms - Edit...

It worked, thanks a lot!

Hello try67,

how can i make this field some sort of default, that is always available to insert into pdfs?

Thanks,

Otto
