When a user is downloading a document maintained in the system in Document management, a few pieces of information should be printed/ attached to the document for example,

           USER ID of the user who downloaded the document.

           Timestamp: Document downloaded time.

Is there any way to get this request fulfilled? This is achievable via document macros, but the problem is, the customer does not like to use a document template. Any thoughts on this?

Hi @Chamuditha Gunarathna 

 

It should be possible to add a footer to the word doc and then add the information you want there (user id, date etc) using VB script and without having the need to use a document template. 

Also keep in mind that this might fail whenever there is a view copy (PDF) attached to the document revision (if you trigger the macro in VIEW command)

This is a job for a document macro. Search this forum as well as look into our documentation and you will find plenty of examples of macros and how to set things up. The macro this customer needs you will probably have to write yourself.
