Can Acrobat auto populate a Name field upon digital signature of a form?

Question

I know you can auto populate a Date Field upon Digital Signature from a form but I'd also like to auto populate a Name Field. I am making a form which requires a Digital Signature for approval, along with the client's Name and Date of Approval. I have added the required Java script to generate the Date but I was wondering is there a way to generate the Name based on the name information from the digital signature?

Extracting from ls_rbls - this is what worked perfectly for me.
When signed, the document fills out a date stamp next to it automatically.

Insert Text Box next to Signature > Right-click the Text Box > Properties > mark Read Only and close.

Script: Right-click the Signature > Properties > Signed > Edit > Paste the following:

var f = event.target;

var sigInfo = f.signatureInfo();

this.getField("Text34").value = util.printd("yyyymmdd", new Date((util.scand("ddd mmm dd yyyy HH:MM:ss ZZ", sigInfo.date ))));

if (f.signatureValidate()==4);

... but ... Hahah.

If I remove the signature, how do I delete the data without changing the box to NOT be Read-Only.

Great!

And thank you for sharing this.

To clear the contents of the date field when the signature field is cleared, you may use a custom validation script or custom calculation script executed directly from the date field.

Something like this:

if(this.getField("mySignatureField").value == "") event.value = "";

OR,

You may also add a Mouse Exit event to the signature field:

if(event.target.value =="") this.getField("Text34").value = "";

}

With the latter script, when the signature field is cleared and the mouse pointer is moved outside of that field it will set the date field to a blank value.

You can use this code to do it (as the Signed script of your signature field):

var f = event.target;
if (f.signatureValidate()==4) {
	var Info = f.signatureInfo();
	this.getField("SigName").value = "Signed by: " + Info.name;
	this.getField("SigDate").value = "Signed on: " + Info.date;
} else {
	this.getField("SigName").value = "";
	this.getField("SigDate").value = "";
}
