How to get Creation Date of Saved Website for footer output (print to PDF)?

If you go into Page Setup within Firefox, the option for Footer is to output the date and/or time. I don't want the date of today that its printed, but instead want the Creation Date of this saved web session as its important to display this information with a legal case. The research that was done on a computer has to output this creation date at the bottom instead. I know I could add the date by using the Custom Field for Footer in Page options but prefer its automated somehow when printing to a PDF file (CutePDF). Please let me know.

Thanks

You might be able to automate this if you open your pdfs with Adobe Acrobat Pro and make sure that the PDF has a certified date: Idea from *http://smallbusiness.chron.com/print-date-time-stamps-pdf-55986.htm...

How do you know the creation date of the session -- is the date/time the file was saved? The JavaScript document.lastModified property might have that, in which case you might be able to inject it into the page before printing.
