Enter the following custom format script:

if(event.value)
{
var date=util.scand("yyyymmdd", event.value);
event.value="start from "+ util.printd("dd-mm-yyyy", date)+ " -";
}

My mistake.  Did Print.  That runs after you print.  Will print runs when you trigger print but before it actually prints.  So if you want the field values to show up on the print, it's Did Print.  Then they will reset after you print.

With the new Acrobat disabled, search "Document" in the tools tab, then select "Document Actions" under "JavaScript", then "Did Print":

Enter the following script:

this.resetForm();

Dear

I think should choose 

Document will print 

Or

Document did print

What is different between them

Dear 

I use this script to reset specific field from data when (did print)

I is working okay at all fields except field (dropdown)

Can check where is mistake at below script:

//array of the field names to clearvar aFields = new Array("text1","text2","text3","Dropdown1");
//clear the field in the array of namesthis.resetForm(aFields);

[PDF Automation Station]

What is the default value of the Dropdown1, and is Dropdown1 spelled correctly, including spacing and case sensitivity?

[ali_3480]

Yes dear Dropdown1 spelled correctly

But default value I don't have.

I have only three choices from drop down list

 

Can I have empty default value at drop  down list? 

[PDF Automation Station · Accepted solution]

Yes.  You have to set it with a script if by "empty" you mean no value.  You use a space.  It will look empty (the space).

It is Working 

Many thanks

This will not work in a PDF form.
