Use DateTime[^] to get todays date and draw it to the PDF. What PDF library are you using? PDFSharp?

Sorry for the delayed reply, I am using itextsharp-5.5.13.2
The link you have given is an "ocean", All I need is to display "system date" in dd/mmm/yyyy and Page number/Total number of pages. at the bottom ot the pdf pages.
The code you have given works excellent but displays the date somewhat halfway - middle of the page.
Kindly help,
Thanks
Ravi

Paragraph paragraphs = new Paragraph(new Phrase(DateTime.Now.ToString()));
 pdfDoc.Add(new Paragraph(paragraphs));

Your code works great, but, how to format that date to dd/mmm/yyyy hh:mm:ss am/pm
and put it in the bottom of the pdf page just below the coordinates say...
DrawLine(writer, 25f, document.Top - 750f, document.PageSize.Width - 25f, document.Top - 750f, BaseColor.RED);
