Hi,

 

I have a PDF File Smartobject, which i've added a Timestamp field.

 

Anyone know how to save a Timestamp when the SAVE PDF Async Method is run?

 

I want to save the date the PDF was created in a seperate field so i can cull the records based on date down the line.

 

Would i have to do some kind of LOAD method after the PDF is created and then SAVE method again and add the Timestamp? -Just seems rather long winded.

 

I know you can append the date to the PDF filename, but that's not what i want.

 

Any ideas?

    Hello  @Sharpharp1 


     


    What SmartObject are you binding the PDF to as the datasource?


     


    If you generate a new SmartObject with an ID, File, and a Date property, you should be able to save the PDF and when the create method is executed against this SmartObject, you could populate one of the "System values" to reflect the current date and time that it was created.

    Hi Mivaro,

     

    I managed to get this working in the end, had to retrieve the PDF ID, then do a load method, followed by a save method is allowed me to save the date in the same ID. Extra work, but worked.

     

    thanks
