I am creating a time sheet and need help with writing a script. The script needs to have a start time and an end time. It needs to also include  a lunch time. There will also be instances where the time could start on one day and go over into the next day.

Amal, I only found one page (91) that talks about calculating. I need more direction than what it has.

Performing date and time calculations in Acrobat JS is not a trivial task.

See these tutorials for more info:

https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascript

https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascript-part-2

If you're interested, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to do something very similar to what you described, without having to write any code, and I can customize it to your specific needs. You can find it here:
