Question

Change dates in other fields based on date in primary field.

I have a fillable PDF that has multiple date fields. There is a main date field and all the rest follow in sequential order i.e. the main date is June 1st 2019 and then the other fields would go June 2nd 2019, June 3rd 2019, and so on. How do I get them to auto-populate based on the primary date?

This question comes up a lot. Here's a forum search that links to several nearly identical questions.

You'll note that many of these link to some AcrobatUser.com Articles on scripting Date and Time values.

You'll also find information here:

Date and Time Handling - Information and Scripts(Script pages at bottom)

And if you're a member there is an example (timesheet) form with exactly the feature you've requested.
