Remove "generated by doxygen" and timestamp in PDF

Question

As the title. I've just started using doxygen, with the first test run I noticed the PDF created has "created by doxygen 1.8.3.1" followed by the date and time, across the front page.

Is it possible to remove this? or even just move it, say to the end of the document?

I have noted other similar questions but only for the HTML (or RTF which Im not generating) and not PDF

Answer 1

You can do this by using a custom LaTeX header.

First generate a default one using

doxygen -w latex header.tex footer.tex doxygen.sty

now edit the header.tex and look for the "Generated on ..." part and replace that by something of your liking.

Then mention the customized header in doxygen's configuration file

LATEX_HEADER           = header.tex

and run doxygen as normal.

Note: When you upgrade to a newer version of doxygen you may need to update your custom header as well.
