Acrobat JavaScript Date picker for custom dialogue

Forum|Forum|5 years ago

Is there a JavaScript for a date picker for a custom dialogue which is used to create an acrobat dynamic stamp? The custom dialogue has several text fields and radio buttons on it, and the user has to type in a date (not the current date). If it is possible, I would like the user to select a date from a date picker, but I don't know if this can be done.

Thank you Thom. I suspected this was the case. I couldn't find anything in my searches.

No, nothing like this already exists.

You can always validate the date and force the user to enter a valid one before leaving the dialog.

Or use dropdowns for setting the day/month/year.

Or create a custom date picking popup dilaog.

Thanks Thom.
What did you meant about "creating a custom date picking popup dialog" and how to acheive it?

You'll find a "pop-up" calendar here that you can copy and paste onto your PDF. Read the instructions carefully.
