Question

Working with Acrobat Pro dc. I want to add the words "Printed on:" before date.

I have pdf document that has a javascript set to allow date to appear when document is printed but hidden when viewing.

ASK: I want to have the words PRINTED ON: appear before the date.

I created a text field and named it TODAY. Selected HIDDEN BUT PRINTABLE in properties.

Then chose: Javascript, document actions, Select document will print, edit, them the following script.

this.getField("TODAY").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

Hello,

This is script I am using and it isn’t working for me. Am I missing something?

this.getField("TODAY").value = "PRINTED ON:" + util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

Thanks!

No, that's not an issue.

Can you share the file in question (via Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe Cloud, etc.)? Post the link to it here.

Here is the file that contains the text field and javascript on lower right footer.
