Add total pages in a form field

[Sales5DC5]

Hi I would like to add the total pages into a form field as it can be variable. I can see that I could do this in a header but that is not the position wanted for this data on our form. Is their a short javascript that would add this and input it in a certain form field? Thanks

Yes, you can use this code to do it (as a doc-level script):

this.getField("pages").value = this.numPages;

Hi I don't get an error but also no figure is displayed in the field. Should I add anything else?

Remove the function definition.

I read a little more and found by combining your suggestion with another if I put this in calculate field box it worked:

event.value=this.numpages

Thanks for your help

First of all it's numPages, not numpages. Also, if you do it like that it won't update after you remove or add pages and then re-open the file...

Thanks in this case that is OK. I saw the typo but you can't edit posts unfortunately once added. I'm just posting this for me as a second point that to add a date this works:

event.value=util.printd("mm/d/yyyy", new Date());
