The date values you are working with are character strings and not numeric strings. The "+" operator for character strings performs the concatenation, joining, of the 2 strings and not adding the numeric values of the string. PDF and its associated JavaScript Date and Time object assigns a unique value to each millisecond and hence each date ant time. This object has many properties and many methods that let one compare, adjust, rank, etc each date and time value. As one manipulates a date object by either days or months the months and years are automatically adjusted bases on the number of days for the specific month, including adjustments for the added day in February of leap years/centuries. The Date and Time object also adjusts for Day Light Saving Time changes base on one's computer settings. ... View more

Carefully read the attached document. There is no problem with using  the redaction feature of Acrobat on PDFs created with Acrobat or MS Word. The problem is when the document is created by Libre Office or Cute PDF. The and e was no issue found when using the Acrobat product and MS Word  when the Acrobat plug-in was installed. The issue clearly lies in the rendering engines of Libre Office and Cute PDF. There is no mention of testing of other PDF creation products like OpenOffice.org, Qucik PDF, or Foxit PDF. It is possible that Adobe has it right and the other products are not following or misinterpreting the PDF standard. This research also shows how complex redaction can be. This type of analysis is far beyond most users and requires a deep understanding of the PDF rendering process and how selecting one method over another can result in very different results.    I think it would be best to go back to the source document and redact the information from that document and then create the PDF. One should of crouse make sure there is no change tracking being used in source document. ... View more

If you flatted the firm as a first step, then there is no button left to flatten. One would have to redact the button image.

One possible way is to define a new property for the Date object named "getDayOfYear"  and then use that property to get the day of the year from the date object of a date.   One can use the following code in the custom calculation script for the field with the result for the day of the year.   // define getDayOfYear property for the Date object; Date.prototype.getDayOfYear= function(){ var j1= new Date(this); j1.setMonth(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); return Math.round((this-j1)/(1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); } // end definition of getDayOfYear property; event.value = ""; // clear field var cMyDate = this.getField("MyDate").valueAsString; if(cMyDate != ""){ var oMyDate = util.scand("d-mmm-yyyyy", cMyDate); event.value = oMyDate.getDayOfYear(); }   You will need to adjust the field name for the input date and format of that string as necessary If you wanted to you could place the code for the "getDayOfYear" as a document level script and then it would be available to all fields in the form. There are also other methods for computing the day of the year.   ... View more
