Auto fill dates and days in pdf form

[Peter37077418lfgf]

Hi,

I found in the community page on how to insert auto date in the pdf form.

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

But I want to auto populate both date and day (eg 25 Dec 2024, Wednesday) etc..

I am not sure on the JS or how to write the code.

Appreciate any help.

Use this format: "dd mmm yyyy dddd"

Thank you, pardon my ignorant, where do I put the script ? Can provide the full script. Thanks

What do you want the trigger to be?  A button click?  When the PDF opens?  Something else?

Thanks for the response, I want to auto populate day each time the pdf opens.

Suceeded to apply JS for my date field [this.getField("Today").value = util.printd("dd-mm-yyyy", new Date());] at Document level.

Not sure about Days though? Refer to sample

If you want the format in the example you provided, use @Nesa Nurani 's format example.  To update when the document opens, enter as a document level script.  You will find all possible date formats in this article.
