In this video, I show how to create an auto-fill date field for your PDF form so that, when someone opens the PDF, the date field will automatically fill in with the current date.
This is a two step process: 1) we insert the date field into the PDF and 2) we add the following javascript...
var f = this.getField("Date");
f.value = util.printd("m/d/yyyy", new Date());

    If I have more than one date field (i.e. renters), do I choose unique names for the date fields (date1, date2) and repeat the Java script w that change? If I want the date field to auto fill upon the signature field being filled, do I just change the trigger?

    I wonder if you still look at the comments. I actually want to create a date in adobe spark. I think I will get around it by first creating a pdf form, and then place it in adobe spark. I do want to ask if you know how I can create a column on the side of the document with a timer on e.g. it starts at 0 at the top and stop at the bottom at 60 minutes. I want to create something like this for a 60-minute period in the classroom.

    What if you want it to auto populate the date to be 5 days later than another date listed in the form? So, if I manually type last sunday in one field, the next field could reference that date and add 5 days and populate the 5th day following that sunday (friday).

    My options don't look the same so I've used 'Document Actions' and then 'Document Will Print' in the drop down menu. Is this correct?

    Thank you for the video. I know that SIGNing will freeze everything in a fillable document but how do you keep the date from updating when the form is reopened while retaining the ability to update the other fields?

    The date shouldn’t update on its own, unless there is a JavaScript code installed on your PDF to automatically fill the date - if that’s the case, you may need to amend the code.

    You are a life savior. May I please ask something? Today is 02/21/2024 (mm/dd/yyyy). I am willing the date to be displayed diferently, I hope I could get some help. I want the date I mentioned to be like 21 of February of 2024 (dd "of" mmmm "of" 2024). Is that even possible? Thanks again for ur video, it was amazing!

    You're welcome Andre! It's not possible with their default date formats (which you can see when you go into the date field properties in the Format tab) but you may be able to achieve this using a custom script. If you want this done, send me an email auret at essetinomedia.com - I'll have our PDF Javascript expert confirm whether it's possible and can provide you with a quote. :)
