I have a time sheet that I have turned into a form and I would like to make the start date of the week auto populate the rest of the dates. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can, with a script. This question comes around quite often and I know that solutions have been provided. Here are the results of a quick search on these forums:

Thanks for the info. It looks like all of these change the date every time you open it. I need to input the date in a field and then have it populate the rest of the dates from there. Also if i do get this to work will it work on an IOS Device?

Before you decide on which script to use, verify that any code conforms to what is supported on iOS. You can find that documentation here...

JavaScript for Acrobat Reader Mobile API Reference (iOS)

For example, several of the scripts referenced in that list use the field property "valueAsString" which is no supported on Adobe Reader for iOS.
