Automatically add current date to contact sheet?

Is there some code/script that can be added to the footer text area that will cause a date to be automatically added to the footer like there is in Microsoft products?
For instance in Word you can put &date, &time to have the date and time added automatically in the footer.
I use the contact sheet feature to print out screen shots of items that may change on a regular basis and having a date will let me know which is the most recent. I can type it in maually, but thought there might be  a way to have the application do this instead.
Thanks for any help!

You could try looking in the Bridge Scripting forum at  http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting

  • How to create a Date or time field that automatically saves current date or time?

    hello,
    i want to know that how to create a Date/Time field that automatically shows current Date/Time when .pdf form is opened.
    also want to how to stop user to give input in Date/Time field
    currently im putting a Date field but it is accepting user input.
    hoping for quick response
    Thanks in advance!

    You can place the below code in the initialize event of the field to display the current date and time.
    Set the language to FormCalc.
    You can play around the formats to get the desired format of date and time.
    if($.rawValue eq null or $.rawValue eq "") then
    $.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")," ", Num2Time(Time(), "h:MM:SS A"));
    endif
    You can not restrict the input area in Date time field instead you can validate the input while existing the field.
    (OR) set the field to either readOnly or protected mode.
    Thanks

  • Add Current Date  - What timezone is used to display value

    When adding the Add Current Date Transformation to get the 'processing date', what determines the date/time that is presented? Where does it pickup the timezone and can this be tailored?
    Thanks.

    Might just be a display issue. Right-click on the date/time in the Results Browser to see the time zone. You can also change your view of the date/time if you want to. A blue dot will appear in the cell to indicate that you are displaying the value in a different time zone.
    If you want to process the data in a certain way ('stamp it into a given timezone' different from the server timezone) you could use the data type converters to convert to string and back to date/time with the options set to the timezone you want.
    I believe there is a property that can override the Director Time Zone on the server but it is not normally used.

  • UIX 2.1.21: Date OnBlurValidator automatically add current month or year?

    Would be nice if the OnBlurValidator for a UIX Date field could automatically add a missing month or year.
    e.g. Format dd.mm.yyyy
    When the user enters 01.01. the current year could be added automatically.
    Or when the users only enters 01. the current month and year could be added.
    Would be a nice feature additionally to the already existing lenient-date-formats = true.
    Really great would be to allow entering values like "now" / ".", "yesterday" / "-" or "tomorrow" / "+" that are evaluated to the according dates (of course internationalized).
    Thanks, Markus

  • Printing EXIF Data on Contact Sheet

    Is there a way to add to the contact sheet printout pre-selected EXIF data? I would like to have Original date/time, ISO, shutter speed, f stop and focal length on the contact sheet. I would also like to have full path with file name printed as well. How do I accomplish this.
    I am using PSE 4.0.
    Thanks for your help.

    I'll be interested to see what people post back to you, because I actually
    have the choice to do this... excepting that it is greyed out. If no one

  • Add current date to PDF documents

    This doesn't seem like it should be hard, but I have been unable to find information on how to do it.
    I have about 100 PDF files. Somewhere on them, I need to display "Date Printed: dd mmm yyyy", and have the current date displayed.
    I don't care whether this is placed at the top of the page, the bottom, or opaque in the background.
    I would like to be able to accomplish it using the batch command, but will perform manually if necessary.
    I have Acrobat 7 Professional.
    Can someone please help me out?

For example, 14 days from today. I found an example of how to do this on page 266 of the Adobe JS Scripting Guide and have followed it to the letter, but it is not working. Here is the modified code:<br /><br /> // Check for existing field and make sure it's on the first page<br />  var strModName = "DocMessage";<br />    var ofield = this.getField("DocMessage");<br /><br />     // Create Field if it doesn't exist<br /><br />    if(ofield == null)<br />    {<br />       // Field is the width of the page, on the bottom of the page<br />       // and 40 points high (72pts/inch)<br /><br />       for(var i=0;i<this.numPages;i++)<br />       {<br />         var rectField = this.getPageBox("Crop",i);<br />         rectField[1] = rectField[3] + 14; // Set Top<br />         ofield = this.addField({cName: strModName,cFieldType: "text",<br />         nPageNum:i ,oCoords: rectField});<br />         ofield.alignment = "center"; //This is the text alignment of the field<br />         ofield.multiline = true;<br />         ofield.textSize = 8; <br />         ofield.textFont = "Arial";<br />         ofield.display = display.noView; //This is hidden on the page but printable to make viewable change to display.visible or noView<br />        ofield.readonly = true;<br />       }<br />    }<br /><br />    /* Create a date object containing the current date. */<br />    var d1 = new Date();<br />    /* num contains the numeric representation of the current date. */<br />    var num = d1.valueOf();<br />    /* Add fourteen days to todays date, in milliseconds. */<br />    /* 1000 ms/sec, 60 sec/min, 60 min/hour, 24 hours/day, 14 days */<br />    num += 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 14;<br />    /* Create our new date, 14 days ahead of the current date. */<br />    var d2 = new Date(num);<br />    // Add Field to Document Script<br />    var strJS = 'var ofield = this.getField("DocMessage");';<br />    strJS += 'ofield.value = "Intellectual Property of My Company - CONFIDENTIAL.

The part of the message regarding the expiration date doesn't even show up.<br /><br />Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi Philip,
    There is an SAP formula variable to supply the current date in a formula. I think it is 0F_ADAY...install it from business content if you cannot see it in the query designer (formula box, under formula variables) and try using it.

  • Add current date to filename of a scheduled report (Info 7.5)

    Can a file be scheduled in Info 7.5 to export with the current date to the file name (ex.  job_postings_dd_mm_yy.xls)?

    Hello,
    Seagate Info has been out of support for years so no one here would be able to help you. I moved this to the Enterprise forum also.
    I don't recall any option but if the UI doesn't give you the option to change the name then no it likely wasn't something you could do. You could although create a batch file that would rename it using a Process extension, I think 7.5 had that ability, it's been so long now.
    Check the Administrators Guide on functionality, is about all I can suggest.
    Thank you

    Down loaded new numbers app.  Now no table headings.  Solution?  Also. How do I include current date as part of new table heading, I had this included in old numbers spreadsheet title?

    Hi,
    Do you mean no table name?
    Or table header row?
    You can get the current date in a table heading with NOW, which in the formula editor now looks like this:

  • Automatically populate current date in udf on BOM

    Hello Everyone,
    I have created a user defined field on the line item of the BOM that I would like to be populated with the current date when a child item is changed, or there is a new child item added.  We're going to use this field as the "valid from" date.  I'm planning to use a search function that identifies a query which tells the system to populate this "valid from" field with the current date when a child item is added, or an existing child item is changed.  I do not know what table/field combination to use to get the current date.  Would anyone be able to help me with the query that would be needed to populate this field.  I will award points.  Thanks in advance for the help.
    Jordan

    Hello Jordan.
    To get the current date, you need very simple SQL query:  Select getdate()
    However this may only be done through manual trigger to update by Shift+F2.  If you make auto refresh by any fields, all the saved date will be override when you edit your BOM.
    I will award points should be omitted because that is your obligation.
    Thanks,

  • What is the formula for automatically entering todays date into Numbers.  In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in numbers.  Thx

    What is the formula to automatically enter 'current date' into spreadsheet?  In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in the Numbers spreadsheet.  Thx

    201,
    Do you want it to update or always show the date when entered?
    For updates, use the TODAY() function.
    For a static date, use Insert > Date and Time.

  • Creating Contact Sheets by selecting images in sub-folders

    I'm new to scripting, so not sure whether this is within the realms of possiblity, but hope that there's an expert out there up to the challenge!
    My goal is to develop a script to automate the process of creating contact sheets for each pupil of a school photoshoot.  The folder structure being used presently is:
    1st level folder:     School name (e.g. "Southbridge School")
    2nd level folders:     Class teachers name (e.g. "Smith")
    In each 2nd level folder (i.e. representing each class) there are always 3 images per child (post processed, so ready to convert to contact sheets).  The image numbers run sequentially, so the first 3 image numbers in the folder are of the 1st child, the next 3 are of the 2nd child, and so on....
    The script I'm looking for would allow me to point Photoshop to the 1st level folder and then automatically create a contact sheet for all children 'found' in the sub-folders.  To do this the script would need to do the following:
    Taking each 2nd level folder in turn, recognise each 'child' is represented by 3 consecutive images - and starting with the 1st 3 images in the folder create a contact sheet.  Then, move on to the next 3 images in sequence and create the next contact sheet, and finish after it completes the final 3 images in the folder.  Then, move on to the next 2nd level folder...
    Create each contact sheet with the 3 images in colour and then the same 3 images in black and white (so 6 images per contact sheet), including the image number under each and a copyright watermark
    Save all contact sheets generated from all of the classes all together in 1 new folder at the 2nd level called "Contact Sheets"
    Give each contact sheet a unique name in the format "<Class teachers name> - xxx"   (e.g. "Smith-1", "Smith-2" etc...)
    So, are there any Photoshop masters out there up to this challenge?!  Your help would be greatly appreciated because the learning curve on this one looks v. steep!
    Alternatively, if you can think of a better way of doing this I would also be keen to hear!
    Thanks

    Awesome! I didnt even know aperture could do that
    Now another quick question on this topic, if im using RAW files, does aperture need to convert the file to jpeg or tiff (like it does if you export version as jpeg)?
    If it does, that may be a problem as it takes forever for aperture on my macbook to convert raws and save as jpegs, like a good minute or two per photo, and if i have 200odd photos....not good, people will crack it waiting and leave.
    Or does it print as raw? Cause im pretty sure my printer (or any printer) can not print raw files. Will try it tonight on my printer but a heads up will be useful.
    I could just shoot in hi-res jpeg, but id rather shoot raw incase they want a large poster size print etc.
    Thanks.
