how to get "Downloaded from" url date reference down edge of each page

That data is usually added as a footer or header by the program from which the PDF is being created. If you are using IE or other web browser, set the footer property under the page setup. If you are using Acrobat, you need to change the settings for the 'Create PDF from Web Page'.

The vertical line of text on documents delivered by many of the downloadable services (journals, standards, etc) are added by the server using a proprietary (non-Adobe) processor, and so you have no control over it.

If you're [u]printing[/u] a web page to PDF (using the virtual printer in Windows) it will respect the headers and footers your web browser adds to each page, but you can't have them vertically down the side. If you're using the "create PDF from web page" button in Acrobat or the Acrobat toolbar in your browser to directly convert the content (for example to include Flash or scrape multiple pages), you have no option to add footers or watermarks automatically, so the only option will be to add them by hand once the PDF is created.

When I use 'File => Create PDF => From Web Page' and click on the 'Settings' button, I have an option to add header and footers and this setting works independently of the the web browser setting. I am using version 8 Professional and version 7 Standard.

You can toggle the Acrobat standard entries on and off (page title in the top left, URL and timestamp in the bottom left) but have no control over what they say or where they appear.

You can presumably find out what application made your particular PDF from the file properties panel, but a number of server-side solutions will allow stamping and watermarking. Look at http://www.setasign.de/products/pdf-php-solutions/setapdf-stamper/ or the server-side COM version of PDFStamp from http://www.verypdf.com/pdfstamp/

You could also use the PDF libraries available for PHP, ASP, Java etc. to write your own watermarking script - and some of them are free, for example the FPDI library at http://www.setasign.de/products/pdf-php-solutions/fpdi/

The pdf properties indicates they are using 3b2 Total Publishing Systems.

I will check into your suggestions.

Thanks,
