Displaying the time in 12-hour format when the document is printed

[Marie5E16]

Hi,

I am having an issue with using Javascript on Acrobat Pro to display the date and time that the document was printed. The Javascript code that I am using is:

this.getField("PrintDate").value = "Printed on: " + util.printd("mmm d, yyyy hh:MM tt", new Date());

When I use this code on the "Will save" action, the time prints correctly in a 12-h format with the am/pm. However, when I use the same code on the "Will print" action, the 'tt' become a 'P' no matter if it is morning or afternoon. I have attached a document containing the output that I get from my code when I save the file, then print it using Google chrome. Does anyone know why the code is not working for the "Will print" action?

Thank you in advance

Marie

What happens when you print the file with Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat?

It works fine. I tried to print the file with different browsers and it didn't work, so I'm assuming the issue is with the browsers. Thank you.

Report the issue to the developers of the Chrome PDF plugin.

I attempted this on various browsers and got the same result so I think the issue is present on most browsers. Thank you for the advice, I will contact them.
