Hide Date in Comments

[Carolinska91]

Hi there,

is it possible to hide or change the date of a comment in Adobe Acrobat?

Thank you,

Carolin

You can't hide it. You can set it to another date, or to an invalid value (such as an empty string).

Thank you. How can I set it to another date or to an invalid value?

Using a script. For example, this code will set all comments in the file to an Invalid Date:

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
if (annots!=null) {
	for (var i in annots) {
		var annot = annots[i];
		annot.creationDate = "";
		annot.modDate = "";
	}
}

If you want to set them to the current time, for example, replace the two main lines with this:

annot.creationDate = new Date();
annot.modDate = new Date();
