Yes you are probably correct, creation date would probably be the best.

Thanks for your advice, unfortunately most of it is completely over my head - hence why I post on here for help - I am not an IT professional
The idea is that a pdf will be produced by front-of-house staff from a word document that is populated from an MS Access application
using a virtual cups-pdf printer on my ubuntu server. The pdf will then need to have the characters added by the pdf printer removed, the creation date added and moved to a new directory. From the new location the pdf will be edited by a user (me) on a tablet pc (probably an iPad
) and then attached back to the MS Access record. I was planning to run the script that alters the pdf filename every 30secs or so as a cron job from a unprivileged user home directory. Hopefully this all makes sense?
I am open to better suggestions if you have any
Thanks
