Insert automatic date in a form

[olivierm45270544]

How can I insert an automatic date in a form. I would like acrobat put it automatically.

For example if we complete the form on March 31, 2017 I would like it put the date automatically of today

if we are on April 1, 2017, I would like acrobat put it the date of April 1, 2017

It's possible, but you need to clearly define when this date should update, and when it shouldn't.

Should it be each time the file is opened?

yes when the file is opened

OK. Let's say this field is called Date. You can enter this code under Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts:

this.getField("Date").value = util.printd("mmmm d, yyyy", new Date());

This is not where I instructed to place the code.
