Need  the exact script that trigger the date to clear when the digital signature is deleted.  I have try several Scripts for that and have added them under The Run JAVA Script option but not luck.  Not sure if that us the correct way ot not.   Please assist in providing the javascript that allows that and let me know if will go under the Run JAVA script option.  If there is script that need to be added to the date block let me know as well. Right now I have documents that populate the date automatically as soon are digitally signed but once the signature is remove the date remains and have to be deleted manually.

    Under Custom Calculation Script for the Date Field, use the following code:

     

    if(this.getField("Input Field Name").value == "") event.value = "";

    Why do you need to do that in the first place? The digital signature itself contains the exact time it was applied.

    Greetings,

    As is known by pdf users there are many pdf documents that contains a
    separate block for the date. It does not matter if is already display on
    the digital signature.

    By the way, not all digital signatures display the date, some of them are
    configure to only show just the signature without any other information.

    Does anyone knows the script for that or are not familiarize with it?

    Please advise, Thanks!

    I don't think there can be any such script, since there is no "signature deleted" event to trigger this action.
