When authoring headers and footers, there are several HeaderFooter's properties that you can use in your formatting strings. You need to set them apriori:

url. You have several options to get the URL of the file you are going to print. One way is to get dialogArguments.__IE_BrowseDocument. Another one is contentDocument from LAYOUTRECT.
  • title. You can get it from the document element passed by dialogArguments.__IE_BrowseDocument, or from LAYOUTRECT's contentDocument.
  • page. Put the current page number into page.
  • pageTotal. Put the total number of pages into this property.
  • dateLong, dateShort, timeShort, and timeLong. These properties are set by default, and can be modified.
