%[Docname], %[Date] and %[Time]
%[Docname]
The getDocumentName function of the titrules.js JavaScript uses the document name at the time of printing to define this macro. This JavaScript is included to give PDF-XChange Lite priority over other applications when documents are saved. This is a necessary process because of the complicated manner in which Microsoft defines document names. Please note that modifying the titjules.js JavaScript is a complicated process that only experienced JavaScript programmers should perform. If assistance is required then please Contact Us.
%[Date]
The %[Date] macro can be expanded to include a date formatting string: %[Date:<date formatting string>]. This can be used to customize the manner in which dates are formatted. Available options are detailed below:
•dd - the day of the month displayed in digits. Single-digit dates feature a zero followed by the date.
•ddd - the day of the week displayed as a three-letter abbreviation.
•dddd - the day of the week displayed in full.
•M - the month displayed in digits.
•MM - the month displayed in digits. Single-digit months feature a zero followed by the month number.
•MMM - the month displayed as a three-letter abbreviation.
•MMMM - the month displayed in full.
•yy - the year displayed as the last two digits of the year. Single-digit years feature a zero followed by the year number.
•yyyy - the year displayed in full.
For example, the macro %[Date:<ddd, MMM, dd, yy>] creates the date formatting string: "Wed, Aug 31, 94".
%[Time]
The %[Time] macro can be expanded to include a time formatting string: %[Time:<time formatting string>]. This can be used to customize the manner in which times are formatted. Available options are detailed below:
