OK! Did a little bit more so it is usable for myself.
Now you can choose if you want to have the "Date Time (Filename" footer want to have left, center, or right aligned.
The code has been updated:
- now it really cnter the boxes page for page.
- the first box (Date ...) uses the total width of the page. So it also useable if you want to have a selfmade footer note, something like "First Draft from ....". You have only to edit one box on one page, then it will be displayed on all pages.
- if you want to remove you can use allways "Remove both". It's only work a little bit longer in bigg files.

PS to other scripters: If someone has time he may improve the script.
The general settings could be done on a extra page (like general Dateformat, general Texthigh, ..... Then this can saved in global.js. So all the user defined settings are stored and retrieveable. That would Adobe save work. Adobe should set up a "Acrobat Scripts & Scraps" forum, where (freetime-)scripter can publish and discuss scripts.
Edit: ... and where it is also possible to publish scripts without to have to format by yourselft, so that it is readable!
