I want to add a date in the PDF so that it can be automatically updated to the date of that day every time it is opened

Can anyone help? I have tried many times per the comment from the community, but it didn't work.

I may need detailed steps.

Create a field called "Today" and enter the following document level script:

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

Thank you. I added a text box, and the date has been shown correctly.

I have another question. I don't want the bodors and filled color of the text box shown.

I try to change to NO COLOR, it seems fail to change. It still show a light blue background color.
