Time and Date when saving a fillable form

Jul 22, 2013 12:29 PM Categories: Windows Tags: #java #time #date #acrobat_forms #javeascript #saved_form I have created an order form for my company and I am having problems with creating a java script that will put the Date and Time at the top of the form only when it is saved. How would I go about this I have tried a few different scripts with no avail. var ft = this.getField("Time_Saved"); ft.value = util.printd("HH MM ss", new Time()); var oNow = new Date(); var sSubDate = util.printd("mmm dd, yyyy", oNow ); this.getField("Invoice_Date").value = sSubDate; // var f = this.getField("DatePrinted"); // field object // f.display = display.noView; // only print the field // f.value = "Printed on: " + util.printd("mmm dd, yyyy", new Date()); // // set the value of the field // get the current date/time object var oNow = new Date(); // create date time sring for sumbission var sSubDate = util.printd("dd/mmm/yyyy h:mm tt", oNow); // fillin field for date and time of sumission this.getField("SubmitDate").value = sSubDate; If someone is able to help me though this that would be great more or less what am i doing wrong?

OK. First off, there's no "Time" object in JS. Use only Date. So this: ft.value = util.printd("HH MM ss", new Time()); Should be: ft.value = util.printd("HH MM ss", new Date()); After you've done that, if it's still not working, describe what exacly happens, including any messages you see in the JS console.

A week? You should really try to learn a bit more core JavaScript if you plan to create more such scripts... Also, make sure you tick on the option in Acrobat to show the console on errors and warnings. You should see there something like this (when running the old code): ReferenceError: Time is not defined This immediately lets you know that something with that line is not correct...
