Calculating a date in a PDF form

[jeremyk54602636]

I'm trying to conditionally fill in a date in a PDF form.  I have located a script that automatically enters today's date in the form, but I want to make the automatic date populate the field ONLY if the field is blank.

In other words, if a date already exists in the field, I'd like Acrobat to not replace the date with today's date.  This is the script I'm currently using:

event.value = util.printd("m/d/yyyy", new Date());

Can someone help me out here?  Thank you.

Use this code:

if (event.target.valueAsString=="")
    event.value = util.printd("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
