Date fields and time to autopopulate when opening the PDF

I have an interactive PDF form with many fields. Two of them are the date and time. Users want that date fields and the time to complete the form to the current date and time (let's call it 'generic form') is open to fill. When they are made by filling out the form, they need to be activated for the reader so they can save it under a different name (Information of Dave). If they reopen "Information of Dave" for some reason, the date and time must not change. If they open the generic form for another client, then the new date and time should appear. I saw a discussion for Javascript to auto to a date, but not an hour. My Javascript skills are limited, so be specific enough about where to put the code.

Work on a Mac on Snow Leopard using Acrobat Pro 10.1.7.

Thanks in advance,

Amy

dateField var = this.getField ("CurrentDate");

var timeField = this.getField ("CurrentTime");

dateField.value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

timeField.value = util.printd ("HH: mm", new Date());

  • Remove hidden "date and time" of each page of the pdf

    Hello

    I have a pdf file that I created for a .mobi to use in a PDF reader.  I noticed that the PDF reader read the date, time and the short title of the pdf at the beginning of each new page.  However, when I open the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, this information was not visible on any page.  Then when I opened the original file to .mobi in Calibre ebook reader, I could see that the date, time and title were written on each page.  Obviously, the information is always present in the pdf file (which I converted from the .mobi), because the PDF reader is read, but I can't find this hidden text in Adobe Acrobat.  I want to delete it, because he's read over and over again.  I used optimize PDF and deleted all user information or meta-data of the PDF, but the date, time and title are still here, read by the PDF reader that I use (voice dream reader).  No idea how to find and remove this date, time and title?  She seems to be the date of publication of the original file.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hey kylec13960260,

    Could you please let me know which version of Adobe Acrobat you are using.

    You can use the redaction tool to remove the hidden content of the PDF and check.

    Also, please check under the header label & foot if the title and date values are displayed or not.

    Let me know.

    Kind regards

  • Invoke a Web service when opening the PDF file

    Hello!

    I have this Web service to generate a sequence number when the user clicks a button on the PDF form.

    How do I call the service whenever the form is opened, rather than wait for a click on the button?

    Thank you for all the ideas!

    Marcos

    1) there are a number of events that fire off when a form opens / opens / just opened... etc.

    Example events that can be used

    Any initialization of field...

    form: ready

    layout: ready

    docReady (is probably best for your purpose)

    Remember each event behaves differently and at different times, and a few bubbles - for your application described, I would use the docReady event

    2)

    To run the Web service button programmatically:

    btn.execEvent ("click");

  • Remove the component tools preferably set when opening the PDF documents

    I was unable to locate a permanent function of Hide to hide "Tools Pane" overall upward.  I don't want all the icon tools displayed every time I open a PDF document. I want to just look at a full page of the document on screen and access the tools if and when I need them.

    Hoping someone can help me.

    Thank you

    If you are using the latest version of Reader (Acrobat Reader DC), you can do the following:

    1. go in the Edit menu. then Preferences..., select the 'Documents' category on the left (the second from the top) and in the right, uncheck "pane open tools for each document. Press OK to dismiss the preferences pane.

    2. then open any PDF file and hide the pane tools by SHIFT + F4 or by clicking on the thin partition between the page and the tool pane.

    3 close the player.

    In the next time on when you use the drive, you do not see the tool pane. You can still get it by clicking on the thin margin to the right of the display of the page (where the Tools pane will remain hidden) and activate it by activating the preference above again permanently.

    Hope that helps!

    There are some settings in your user directory that could be damaged. I assume that you have installed on

    the drive c. can you go into this place and delete the... then try again:

    C:\Documents and Settings\logged in nom\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\8.2

    When you launch the designer again these files will be recreated.

  • Reader crashes when opening the pdf while UAC elevation

    Hello

    I'm a developer who has a package installer for our software which, of course, requires UAC elevation to perform the installation.

    On the last screen of the installer, we try to give the user the possibility to open a .pdf of our user manual.  Any other than .pdf format works very well, but Adobe Reader will not open, and once this has happened, Adobe Reader does not work at all until the user opens a session and return to.

    Comments of the vendor of the package install (Setup factory):

    > >On Windows 8 and 8.1, Adobe Reader does not start correctly when it is called from the high count (after UAC has been shown and has been granted access). If you perform the same script from a facility that has been manifested to run "as applicant", you will see the PDF document opens correctly, which suggests that there is some kind of problem with the Adobe sandbox. If another application PDF, such as Foxit or SumatraPDF, is installed on the target computer and saved for the manipulation of PDF documents, you will see that the file opens correctly, even when the viewer of documents is launched, after the elevation of the user took.

    This seems to be a bug in Adobe Reader?  Or am I missing something?

    Eve software postage

    I'm not saying that it was designed to work that way, or that everything is fine. But it can be good for you (and me) to review, it's a good idea to run Adobe Reader unnecessarily high. Similar considerations apply to the choice that many installers are doing "run applications now?" at the end.

    (Security scenario: lock PC.) Admin comes to install your software, between the password for UAC. Installation in competition, starts. The user now has a copy of Adobe Reader, where they can record in tight areas, perhaps compromising safety).

    (Privileges Scenaro: elevation software creates a file of preferences, as an administrator.) Later runs, not high, can not overwrite the preferences file, leaving the user to have preferences).

    (System scenario: I read that communication with the shell does not work for a higher app and shell not higher.) No further details).

  • Once I updated to Firefox 11, I can't open the pdf files. It's more the computer, snow leopard and lion and more than one Web site.

    I've updated to Firefox 11 and now I can't open the PDFs Online. This has happened on more than 1 computer, using the two OS 10.6.8 and OS 7.0 and on more than one Web site. I tried to uncheck "block pop-up windows" in preferences, but which did not help.
    When I use Safari to open the same file to pdf, they open fine. Everything worked fine with my Firefox until I did the upgrade.

    I prefer to continue to use Firefox, but I can't understand the root of the problem.

    Has anyone else had this happen as well?

    Thank you, gentlemen, to find a "solution" to this particular behavior of Firefox. It is really curious that even if the screen is blank, you can indeed save the .pdf Ghost and then open the saved file to view. What is amazing to me is that this issue does not seem to be what makes the hit parade of the problems currently experienced Mozilla. Not everyone will be willing to do a research project extended rather than leave the ship for Safari, etc..

  • Why the date and time is wrong when I start my computer

    Why the date and time is wrong when I start my computer

    CMOS battery die/of - usually about the size of a quarter on the motherboard of your system.

    It keeps things when you are not using the computer - if it starts to die/dies - then the time is no longer maintained.  Replacing, it is no different (in most cases) that replace the batteries of your TV remote or FOB car key.
