Create Dynamik Time Stamp

In some cases it is essential to know at what time a document has been printed. For that reason it is useful to create a PDF document containing a time stamp which updates itself whenever the document is printed.

With Aloaha this is very easy to accomplish. Please see the sample code below:

dim pdf
dim inputfile
dim outputfile
Dim TimeStampPage
dim FFTitle
dim JScript
dim FFTimeFormat
dim FFAlignment
dim FFPosLeft
dim FFPosTop
dim FFPosWidth
dim FFPosHeight
dim FFDefaultValue
dim FFDescription

FFDefaultValue=""
FFDescription=""
FFPosWidth=500
FFPosHeight=100
FFPosTop=300
FFPosLeft=20
FFAlignment=1                     '0=left, 1=center, 2=right
FFTimeFormat=""
JScript=""
FFTitle="Aloaha TimeStamp"
TimeStampPage=1
inputfile="c:\Untitled.pdf"
outputfile="c:\Untitled1.pdf"

set pdf = createobject("aloahapdf.edit")

if pdf.load_pdf_to_mem(cstr(inputfile))=true then

     if pdf.CreateDynamicTimeStamp(clng(TimeStampPage), cstr(FFTitle), cstr(JScript), cstr(FFTimeFormat),clng(FFAlignment), clng(FFPosLeft), clng(FFPosTop), clng(FFPosWidth), clng(FFPosHeight), cstr(FFDefaultValue), cstr(FFDescription)) =true then

          if pdf.save_pdf_to_file(cstr(outputfile))=true then
               msgbox "OK"
          else
               msgbox "Not OK"
          end if
     else
          msgbox "Not OK"
     end if
else
     msgbox "Not OK"
end if

set pdf = nothing
