Adding Automatic Date to PDF that updates upon opening.

How can I make PDF update the next few chronological dates in their field after I put in the first date manually?

See Example Acrobat JavaScripts for 2 examples of autopopulating populating a field with a date string. You want the item 3. Insert Today’s Date into Form Field. You will have to create a document level script action.

Lets look at each problem seperately.

What scripts did you use and where did you place the code for placing the auto entry date?

See Example Acrobat JavaScripts item 3. Run JavaScript on Document Open. It is more complex then you might need, but it will populate the date when the PDF is opened. Beaware that it will repopulate the date each time the PDF is opened. Additional code will be needed to prevent cheangint the date one it file has been opened and saved.

Since you want the date to populate automatically, after adding the form field, in Text Field Properties in the General tab, turn on Read Only so that the user cannot change the date.

Next you'll need to create a document level script that is executed when the document is opened. If you don't see the JavaScript tool, click on More Tools in the list on the right and add it to your list of tools. Click the JavaScript tool. Then at the top of the screen, click Document JavaScripts. Give the script an appropriate name and click Add. Delete any text in the window and add this script:

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

The text in quotes should be the name of your form field, and it is case sensitive. In this example, the date field is named Today.

Click OK and Close.

To test that the form field is working correctly, Save the PDF, close it and then re-opoen it.

Hi,

In edit mode, right-click on the date field, select Properties, and then the "Format" tab.

Then select from the pulldown menu that is right below the tab select "Date" and then "Custom".

In the blank provided below that selection type in the format that you want the date to be displayed like.

Click ok and you should be good to go.

Users won't have to type in a date anymore. A datepicker will provide the users of the form to select a date from a calendar pop up; the date will be displayed with the formatting that you've selected earlier.
