Why doesn't the javascript run in my dynamic stamp?

[by9811]

I've followed the instructions on creating a dynamic date stamp.

The drama is I either have 2 results. The date that stamps is created is always displayed, or nothing at all.

Neither are the desired result.

Are there any scerity steps required to allow the javascript to run?

Is it something else?

That's the javascipt i've used:

event.value = (new Date()).toString();
AFDate_FormatEx("dd mmm yyyy");

Any thoughts appreciated.

Where did you place the code?

In the javascript dialog box in the advanced section where the instructions from Adobe told me to.

I was going to suggest to also use this guidance from adobe helpx as a reference: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/create-custom-dynamicstamp.html

Those are the instructions I followed.

Can you post a link to your stamp file.

It sounds like you are using the Acrobat Stamps tools with the stamp file (such is the stamp import and create). These tools destroy all scripts within the stamp file. You have to edit the stamp file with Acobat to add the fields and scripts, then save the file into the Acrobat Stamp folder.
