                      Mary married to Joe on 10/31/2004

                       Mark sold a car to Mary on 1/1/2000

                       Joe and Mary bought a house on 1/1/2010

 

                       Joe's fdather visisited joe from Colombia on 1/1/1999

 

                       Joe 's mom came to country and stayed on 1/1/1998

  I need to know the latest date in my document . Is there a way to find the latest date and how?

 

Many thanks,

Bi @minhtd ,

 

Are all those dates typed in to  actual  date fields or are they part of the PDF's static content?

 

A JavaScript script may take care of that if such dates are typed in by the users in an actual text field or a date fiels.

 

If you can share an example of your PDF document it is easier to assist you with some good Acrobat JavaScript examples.

A script can also do it if it's plain text, but it's more complicated.
