I have a 12-page PDF calendar (1 page for each month). How do I use javascript inside the PDF file to auto-select the current month page to display based on the user system date (month). I am trying to display the current month of our club calendar that is launched from our webpage when the user selects "Calendar".

Presently, the PDF always displays the first page of the PDF file (January), and users must scroll down to select the current month.

Add this code as a doc-level script:

this.pageNum = new Date().getMonth();

Entered the script from Try67 - saved and re-opened. Still opening on initial first page. What else is needed?

Entered script as written - saved file and re-opened. PDF is still opening on initial page. What else is needed to execute the code?

Nothing else is needed. Where did you enter it, exactly?
