I am trying to auto fill todays date into adobe pdf form. When I try to do it any of the ways found on the forum so far I have a message saying "This feature is not included in your current Acrobat license." Is there a way to do this with the adobe version I have?

End goal is to creat a dynamic stamp where the date automatically changes each time I apply it to a new document...

What version of Acrobat do you have?

And no, it's impossible without using a script.

Right now I have a Custom Calculation Script, and in the Javscript Editor I have:

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

in the Calculate tab, but this does not update. Is there a differet script i can use to do this from there or other options I have access to?

No, that should be enough. Did you place it in a field that's a part of a stamp, then?
