Hi this was great help… however, I am using a non-English language version and I thought I just point out, that the only difference to the above instructions is NOT to delete the Resources folder, and instead go in there, find the language(s) you’re using, and change the CFBundleName (item 6) to your localized version(s).

Maybe you can do that without the Resources folder, but will it work with extended character-sets?

Sure. Here are the two changes.
1) add “import datetime” (this can replace the previous “from
datetime import date”)
2) replace “date.today()” with:
“datetime.datetime.now().strftime(”%Y%m%d”)”

Resulting in:
title = “%s - %s” % (datetime.datetime.now().strftime(”%Y%m%d”), title)

You can also compose other arbitrary date formats with this method.

Thanks for the tip!
Is there a way the date could be without the dashes (20080914) ?

HI thanks for this. All goes well until I try to implement the addition of date to the pdf is this correct:
import os
import shutil
import sys
from datetime import date
def safeFilename(filename):
filename = filename.lstrip(’.')
filename = filename.replace(os.path.sep, ‘-’)
if len(filename) == 0:
filename = “Untitled”
elif len(filename) > 245:
filename = filename[0:245]
return filename

def main(argv):

(title, options, pdfFile) = argv[0:3]
title = “%s - %s” % (date.today(), title
destDirectory = os.path.expanduser(”~/Archive/Receipts/”)
…
