Hi everyone,

I have created a form for a customer who will then print the form and email it to their customer. Is it possible to have the date and time of printing on the form when printed?

Yes. Create a (read-only, only visible on print) text field called "PrintDate" and then go to Tools - JavaScript - Set Document Actions and under the Will Print event add the following code:

this.getField("PrintDate").value = "Printed on: " + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", new Date());

You can play around with the fixed text and/or date format, of course.
