hey you can make a text box / filld
that automatically update the date and time for example every time you save
so you can see in print what time the file is updating
second best is one that just updates even when loading the file

Her yo can find a script to do that

However, for the more automated and unattended way I have used for very long years, a plugin called Tag72a which works so well, just save your file, and its done, not too expensive.

Here you can find it

    var date1 = "Mon-Day-Year";
var temp = date1.split("-");
date2 = temp[1] + "/" + temp[0] + "/" + temp[2];
alert(date2);

      If you want to manage event-triggered action, you need to make a plugin and CEP extensions.
      However, It is possible to create a script that saves or prints after creating a time stamp.
