Working with Acrobat Pro dc. I want to add the words "Printed on:" before date.

I have pdf document that has a javascript set to allow date to appear when document is printed but hidden when viewing.

ASK: I want to have the words PRINTED ON: appear before the date.

I created a text field and named it TODAY. Selected HIDDEN BUT PRINTABLE in properties.

Then chose: Javascript, document actions, Select document will print, edit, them the following script.

this.getField("TODAY").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

Hello,

This is script I am using and it isn’t working for me. Am I missing something?

this.getField("TODAY").value = "PRINTED ON:" + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

Thanks!
