We use Forms for varies items. some get printed and scanned back in with a bundle, and processed through Quickfields for filing (YES, i know this is not the most efficient way).

I would like to be able to put a version and/or a unique identifier in the footer of a form for Quickfields to be able to quickly identifiy the form as a start of a new packet.

The closest thing I know of would be to use javascript to insert some sort of text or Footer tag, and to use CSS to give it a fixed position at the bottom. Depending on your layout, you may have issues with the footer text appearing on top of some other elements on your form, so this isn't a very elegant solution. It should print the text in a fixed location on every page in the print job.

Try something like this:

$(document).ready( function () {
  $('<footer style="position: fixed; bottom: 0"><p>YOUR TEXT HERE</p></footer>').insertAfter($('.cf-formwrap'));
});

Would the footer change between submissions? Or would it be constant for a given Form?

If constant you could use a Custom HTML field at the bottom of the Form to display text/a footer.

It would be constant on each form. The problem with trying to use Custom HTML is the form that i truly need this on is an invoice, they can add multiple lines. So the custon HTML section i would put could move depending on how big the project is.

I would truly love somthing where it is like the logo and header except in the bottom corner.

Could you put the HTML "footer" near the top of the form, where it wouldn't be moved by a variable number of line items?

Otherwise, Scott's suggestion for fixing an element's location via CSS would be a good bet.

The Java script worked, What is the CSS code to fix it's position?

That code above should do both. The CSS is "inline" by setting the style attribute of the footer tag.

Any chance I can use a variables, like Document Number and Revision? Tried this, but it didn't work.

$(document).ready( function () {

//Set footer to show Doc Number and Revision
  $('<footer style="position: fixed; bottom: 0"><p>LR-{/dataset/documentNo}-{/dataset/revision}</p></footer>').insertAfter($('.cf-formwrap'));

});

I tried setting them as variables, but no luck with that either.
