why Am I getting errors with this code?

I don't understand why!

var rightNow = new Date();

var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime();

var fiveDays = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

var theNewDate = new Date(finalTime);

console.println("5 days from now is: " + theNewDate.toString());

Acrobat SDK and JavaScript

Sorry, I do see an error now. You didn't define the finalTime variable anywhere. I think you meant to do something like this:

var rightNow = new Date();
var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime();
var fiveDays = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var finalTime = msRightNow + fiveDays;
var theNewDate = new Date(finalTime);
console.println("5 days from now is: " + theNewDate.toString());

Where is this code? How it is being called? What errors?

And what does this have to do with the SDK?

First of all, I moved your question to the JavaScript forum.

I don't see any errors in this code, but it is not set up to work correctly.

You need to add the fiveDays value to the msRightNow value if you want to get the date for five days from now.

So the fourth line should be:

var theNewDate = new Date(msRightNow + finalTime);
