Automatic date/time stamp a document

Is there a way to automatically insert a date/time on a document? I have a program that allows me to alter pdf documents and I need to be able to enter the date and time. Blackberry allowed me to type "dt" and it would automatically enter it for me. Does Apple have a feature similar?

I have looked at that but haven't been able to figure out how to use or edit the stamp. Is there a place
to set up time/date stamping, or maybe it's to be done manually? In either case, I haven't been able to figure how to do a stamp that is anything other than the stock stamp.

I have lost the automatic date/time stamp

I have lost the automatic date/time stamp when a form is submitted on my response page. How do I make it start doing it again? The column just appears blank now with new submissions.

In the first cell of the column you need to re-enter the formula that used to be there. Enter "= LOCALTIME(ROWCREATEDATE()". You may need to change the date format after this. Click on the Table button in the toolbar, select the Column with the dates, then select your prefered format.

How to insert automatic Date/Time Stamp on filename?!

I have a simple chart that I fill out for work hours and whatnot every day with the Numbers program.
I would love to have the date inserted into the filename automatically so that I don't have to manually enter it every day when I save.
Is this possible?

Your program does not create an Excel File. It creates a text file that Excel is able to open up and import.
As it is right now, the name of the file you create is determined by a dialog box that pops up with the old version of the Open/Create/Replace file that you have. If you want the program to determine the file name, you need to build a file path out of string data in the same manner you are using the string coming from the Get Date/Time String function you have inside the loop.

Auto Date/Time stamp required for Numbers 3.1

I would like to automatically add a Date/Time stamp to the last column's cell, when a person's name is selected from the pop-up menu in Column C.
As a number of different people will be using the spreadsheet, I'd prefer not to have a keyboard short cut, as it can be easily overlooked.
I was wondering if it were possible to use a script to copy a cell's (column D) results, containing the 'NOW()' or 'TODAY()' function, and paste the results into the 2nd cell (Column E), allowing the last column's formula to reference the 2nd cell?
The formula in the last cell =if($C2="","",$E2) can then reference a static cell, rather than a live cell.
I know enough to be dangerous, so I'm not sure if i'm heading in the right direction.
Thanking you all in advance.

Hi Gordon,
Is this the same as a script?
Good question! It's fun to see people try to define what a service is. It may be one of the least understood and appreciated features on the Mac. It was certainly a mystery to me not long ago.
I think of a service as anything that can be made to appear in the Services menu. Apple has made that easy with Automator. You fire up Automator, create a new service "workflow" document, plop in a script, save, and see the result immediately in the Services menu. You can also send the .workflow package to someone else, who only needs to double-click to install it.
This particular date-time service contains a short AppleScript (you can view it by opening the .workflow in Automator. But other languages (Python, Perl, etc) and Unix utilities can be used too, as illustrated here.
Since Numbers has decent support for AppleScript, it is quite easy for the non-technical user to "bolt on" menu choices to do quite sophisticated things that are not built into the interface itself. I find it more accessible than (and just as powerful as) the VBA used for Excel macros. But that could be mostly a matter of familiarity. In any case, it adds a whole new dimension to Numbers.

How to add date/time stamp to PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Hello,
I'd like to add a date/time stamp to a PDF so that when I print the document, the current date/time will be printed as well. Is it possible to do this? I found the following posting (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/502915), but am not able to get it to work for me. I don't really know anything about using Javascript. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Not sure it will work, but you can try using the app.hideMenuItem() method. See reference here.

Maintain Date/Time Stamp in Export as XML

Hello,
I've create a report which has a field as mm/dd/yyyy HH:mm.
When I export as .TXT .CSV, Excel ect it maintains the format; however when I export as XML I loose the formate and it exports as mm/dd/yyyy 12:00:00
The below in anyother format or in BusinessObjects would be 09/04/2007 10:38.
<COLUMN INDEX="6" ID="4" TYPE="Date" FORMAT="m/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM">Actual Start (Date & Time)</COLUMN>
<CELL INDEX="6">9/4/2007 12:00:00 AM</CELL>
Any thoughts?
As well is it possible to customize tags of the exported XML so it is more of a XML document then a spreadsheet.

Thank you!
For the issue with the Date/Time stamp is this a bug in older versions? I am using BusinessObjects 6.1; the only time it does this is when exported as XML
Cheers,
Tim

Date/Time Stamp Display

When watching my movies I almost always wonder "when was this shot"?
One of the things I miss the most about burning my videos to DVD instead of playing them from the tape is the ability to push a button, see the date/time stamp on the screen and then push it again to make it go away.
I know this is a long shot, but is there anyway to get similar functionality in iMovie & iDVD?
Right now I am playing with putting a title at the beginning of every clip in the movie with the date info and that is A LOT of work. Still it won't help me when I am viewing the middle of the clip.
If there is no way to get the date/time stamp to appear/disappear during playback by pushing a button, is there at least a way that a title can get the date/time info for me? Maybe some variable I can type in the title (i.e.:%DATETIME%)? That would at least save me a couple steps.
Or is there a plug-in that does something along those lines?
I think that would be a great feature if they don't have it already (and not to hard I would think).
Thanks

17" iSight iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi Tj
I've wrestled with this problem ever since VHS went out of style. The old VHS would pick it up and you couldn't get rid of it. Digital got rid of it when transferred to imovie. My Sony camera can show it or remove it on it's own remote screen. I found the best way to keep track of the time stamp is when I'm done with a tape is to review it and create a data base on a hard copy. It's a hard habit to get into but once it's done it saves a ton of time. I physically number the cassette and use categories in a columnar format: NO., REAL TIME, EVENT, DESCRIPTION, COMMENT DATE, YEAR. Being a data base document I can arrange in any order I want.
There are other advantages. By reviewing and entering the information it stays fresh in my mind. I can also add comments like: Add music and effects to this clip.
Gee Three/slick has numerous titles of with some look like time stamps or you can create you own directly onto the clip. There is no need for a separate (title over black) title.
Part of the fun in editing is picking the title, what font to use and be able to dazzle your viewers with special affects. Slick has one called Far far away from the Star Wars movies where the titles slowly disappear into the distance.

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

Three methods:
File>process multiple files>labels. Be sure to uncheck "same as source", or the originals will be overwritten. It is best to work on duplicate files, esp. while learning.
Use the horizontal or vertical type tool to add the information manually to each picture file
If the same information is to be applied to several pictures, e.g. a copyright notice, use of a brush made in PSE is very efficient

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

How do I to get the date/time stamp back on my texts in ioS7?

How do you vary the Date/Time stamp format in File Adapters

In the receiver channel of the File Adapter where you specify the 'File Name Scheme', you do have the option of specifying a 'File Construction Mode' of 'Add Time Stamp'. How can you specify a different Date/Time stamp format ( eg MM/DD/YY vs YYYYMMDD vs MMDDYY, etc. ) without changing the Date/Time stamp for the entire SAP system? Also, can you control where the Date/Time stamp appears in the filename?

Hi,
There are many threads discussing the same issue. Go thro the following:
Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter
Receiver File Adapter - TimeStamp
Bhavesh's reply in above thread:
You can use Adapter Specific Identifiers and then change the file name in the mapping. Append the tiem stamp in the format that you want and so on.
Just use this code in an UDF,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd" );
dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
String newfilename=SourceFileName+dateformat;
// change to new file name
conf.put(key, newfilename);
return "";

Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks
