Page Layout ⇒ Date and timestamp in footer as well as pagenumber

[mcsentas]

How do I insert the date and a timestamp in the bottom left footer of my document, and the page number on the right.?

I have the following where I am using pdfpages.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{pdfpages} 

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{Biological Processes}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} 

\begin{document}
\Huge Biological Processes
\includepdf[pages=-,pagecommand={\pagestyle{fancy}}]{slides.pdf}

\end{document}

For the page number on the right you just need to change "C" to "R":

Code: Select all

\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}

For the date and time stamp, do you mean the time stamp of the document build? If so, you can use\DTMnow from the datetime2 package:

Code: Select all

\fancyfoot[L]{\DTMnow}

If you mean the time stamp of the included PDF, then you can use:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{datetime2}

\DTMsavefilemoddate{pdfmodtime}{slides.pdf}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{Biological Processes}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
\fancyfoot[L]{\DTMuse{pdfmodtime}}

\begin{document}
\Huge Biological Processes
\includepdf[pages=-,pagecommand={\pagestyle{fancy}}]{slides.pdf}

\end{document}

There are various different date and time styles available. If you want to use a regional style, you also need to install the appropriate language module. For example, with datetime2-english installed you can do:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[en-GB]{datetime2}

\DTMsavefilemoddate{pdfmodtime}{slides.pdf}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{Biological Processes}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
\fancyfoot[L]{\DTMuse{pdfmodtime}}

\begin{document}
\Huge Biological Processes
\includepdf[pages=-,pagecommand={\pagestyle{fancy}}]{slides.pdf}

\end{document}
