man date - the date command allows you to easily manipulate its output. This
will however somewhat complicate your little script. You could also change
your awk to output the hardcoded year if the year/time field contained a
colon.

Pass - America 6 :-) I'm guessing that there must be a 'pdfinfo' program
around ? Typing pdf extract info into google produces some interesting
looking links.

Pay a programmer, or learn to do it yourself ? You've chosen the latter
route, and it really wasn't too hard, was it ?
