I want to create a billing invoice number in acrobat field each time I open a pdf. How can I do that?

[edgarm45459664]

This is the area that I want the numbers. Each time I open the pdf document create a different billing number. I think that the code is in Javascript but I don't know.

I'm going to use 10 digits. Where I place the code?

Thanks for your help.

Do you want it to be a random number, or a sequential one?

What code can I use to have sequential numbers beginning with a specific number like 2018-IN-20000, next number being 2018-IN-20001? Thank for any help.

instead of "WORK ORDER" for the field id its "DOCKET NO" thanks

Example. 00000001 (Secuencial)

Go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts, create there a new item called "scripts", and then paste this code into the window that opens:

this.getField("WORK ORDER").value = util.printf("%010d", (Number(this.getField("WORK ORDER").value) + 1));

Another ? try67​. I test it and works fine. when I open the document, I need save it first before complete all the information or save as like a new document?

Thks

Not sure what you mean... If you want the document to automatically save when you open it (after the invoice number is changed, I assume) then that is possible, but it requires installing a script on the local machine.
