Point taken with regard to PDF and that is planned

However from a security perspective it is required to "enforce" userid
being displayed on any print-outs.

Is there any precedence of strategically placing userid + timestamp
in locations on the page that will ensure it will be part of the
data on the page?

Are other organisations doing something like this?
I know there is "blank paper" available for printers but that would
appear to be overkill
(although the ultimate solution)

Is there some way of automatically placing the userid in any blank
spaces on the web page?

Regards
