I want enter first date of a calendar week then I would like the rest of both weeks to populate automatically for total of 14 days calendar week. If anyone could assist me please, I would appreciate.

As mentioned, this is not a very simple task if you don't have any experience with Acrobat JavaScript.

Some good tutorials on this subject can be found here:

If you're interested, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to apply such calculations very easily.

You can find it here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Apply Automatic Date Calculation

This is not a beginners project, Not only will be computing the dates be confusing so will be the computation of elapsed time. All of the date and time values are stirring values and will need to be converted to a numeric value. All of this will require using custom JavaScript calculations and require knowledge of the field names and formats to start with.

This question has been asked many times and answered, so you can use the search function to find examples.

When one uses the JavaScript date object in these calculations, any time adjustment for Daylight Savings Time or Summer Time will automatically be applied as needed dependent upon the date.
