Adding a year to the current date field

Hello,
Can any one please help on how to add a year to the current date field.
e.g 7/19/2011 plus a year = 7/19/2012
Thanks,
Han Dao

If you had a field DateTimeField1 and wanted to display the following year in DateTimeField2, you could do the following in JavaScript;
var d1 = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", DateTimeField1.rawValue);
if (d1 !== null)
d1.setFullYear(d1.getFullYear()+1);
DateTimeField2.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", d1);
Good luck

Web-Outlook appointments which are one year before the current date are removed

Hi,
my Web-Outlook works fine with my iPHONE4s but the appointments which are one year befoer the current date are removed.
Is there an option to keep all appointments?
regards
Andreas

For the OST problem, delete the OST file and let Outlook create a new one. But your problem may be that Outlook connects to Exchange 2013 using Outlook Anywhere only--MAPI RPC is gone--and for that you need a valid certificate. So the self-signed
certificate is likely your main problem.
For a self-signed certificate to work, you must add it to every client as a trusted certificate. That is hard to do with mobile devices, which is why it's recommended to obtain a certificate from a trusted public certificate authority. You'd
probably find Go Daddy to be reasonably priced, and there are others.

Can a user override the Current Date field?

I have a simple form with a Current Date field. Today's date is automatically populated in this field, but I would like to give users the option to enter a different date in the field. There is a value called "Calculated - User Can Override" but this doesn't appear to work.

When I first set up this field I used code I found on this forum that went in the 'layout:ready' area. I've now removed it and used the code I found in your file in 'calculate'. The date field is now functioning properly.
Thank you.

Parameter for Last Week, Last Month & Last Year from the current Date

I have a crystal report that has a StartDate & EndDate parameters from the stored procedure that I am calling. Now i got a new requirement saying that my user wants a drop-down parameter in which they need to be able to select last week (Sunday to Saturday), last month, last year instead of manually selecting start date and end date parameters? Can anyone please explain me how to do this?
(FYI, I am using Crystal 2008)

Hi Naveen,
You'll need to handle the logic in the Stored Proc's where clause.
If you're using oracle, I have something like this in the Stored Proc's where clause for our reports:
Where {Date_Field} Between
Decode('{?Relative Date}',
'Yesterday', sysdate - 1,
'Last Week', Tunc(sysdate, 'IW')-7)
AND
Decode('{?Relative Date}',
'Yesterday', sysdate,
'Last Week', Tunc(sysdate, 'IW'))
where 'Relative Date' is a prompt in the Stored Proc and 'yesterday'. 'last week' are the 'static values' in the prompt.

Current Date Field question

Hello
I'm a novice user of LiveCycle and I'm trying to see if there's a solution for this issue we've come across.
We've used LiveCycle to redesign human resource/payroll forms in our organization. One of the items we use is the current date field, which automatically populates to today's date once opened. When users complete forms, we encourage them to save an electronic copy of the form to their own drive in case they need to retrieve it at a later date. The problem here is that the current date field will not stay static once filled out and saved.
For example, if a dept completes a form on 12/1/10, saves it, but then needs to retrieve it later for some reason, we need the current date field to stay as the date the form was originally filled out (12/1/10). If they retrieve the form later on say 2/15/10, that particular date field will read the new date. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Test if the field is null before assigning the current date.
// form1.page1.currentDate::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
if (this.isNull) then
$.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY"))
endif

Embedding a "Current Date" field in a pdf document

To assure people work to the latest authorized version of a procedure, we let them access a protected pdf version on our Intranet. They can print a copy for use, but the copy is valid ONLY for the date printed, which is shown in the footer of each page. The "current date" field is updated when the document is opened by way of a Java script that reads:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
(Obviously, "Today" is the field's name.)
If a person were to open the same document three days later, that later date would be embedded.
All this worked well when we were using Acrobat 5 and Reader 5. Now, to keep up with the times, we've upgraded to Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 on many PCs. However, the "current date" field still works for those still using Reader 5 but doesn't work for those using Reader 8.
What I'm wondering is whether the scripting has changed for Acrobat 8. I can't find anything in the Acrobat support documents for Java scripting, but I may not know what I'm looking at.
Thanks,
Jerry Holt

The problem has been solved!!!
The form field, the accompanying script, and most documents' security were set up in Adobe 4.0. However, in Adobe Reader 7 or higher, "no changes" means "no changes," so the form field script was blocked.
By setting Compatibility to "Acrobat 7.0 or greater," I could choose the "Change Allowed" option: Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields.
Then, all I needed to do was to confirm that the JavaScript "Today" was still applied, and the current date was immediately filled in.
Thanks for the questions and suggestions.

Changeable Current Date field

I need the "Current Date" field enabled to be changed by the user. Any help will be appreciated.
I thought the "Calculated - User can Override" would work but no such luck! (I am using the Custom - Current Date field)
Thanks

Hi,
The custom current date has the script in the layout:ready event. This fires everytime the user exits an object that has been changed.
So what is happening is that the user can access the date field and change the value, however when they exit the field, the layout:ready event fires and the user-entered data is overwritten by the current date.
You could move the script from the layout:ready event to the docReady event. This is a good event because it only fires once, when the form is opened/rendered.
You will probably need to wrap the script in an if statement, so that when the form is reopened, it does not overwrite the date. The following FormCalc should work:
// Current Date in short-style date format.
if (HasValue($) eq "false") then
$.rawValue = num2date(date(), "DD.MM.YYYY")
endif
There is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=QR1y1RYatwSaQAWa4-jLlA
You can see events and how they fire here: http://assure.ly/gW3RNr
Hope that helps,

Restricting date selection of the calender date field

Right now we have a web app where you choose the starting date of a work week. We're using the calender date field to get that date. However, our client wants to restrict that to just the Mondays of the month. Is it possible to do this?

Hi Nagy,
The way I would approach this is by implementing that kind of calendar picker myself, from some jQuery plugin or maybe a couple of simple dropdowns, and then use javascript to populate the current date field which would be hidden. You just have to make sure that the date format looks like this:
03-Oct-2012

A script for adding the current date to file name?

I am working in Indesign CS3. I frequently save file as PDFs into a designated folder. I was hoping for help in writing a script that would apply the current date to the end of the file name, when saved into this folder. Some days, I save the same file several times, into this folder. I was also hoping there was a way to add a date and version, for example "filename_2.25.11(1).pdf" Is this possible? Can someone help me?

ok, I ended up with this test routine:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this in added_items
my checkifopened(this)
display dialog (name of this) as text
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on checkifopened(this)
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
exit repeat
else
say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
this is a folder action that tests if the added file is still opened by an application... there is no delay between each test-loop since lsof takes some time to execute...
And after adding a timeout (just in case) to this function the final script looks like this:
on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
set folderkind to kind of thefolder
set myfiles to every item of thefolder whose name does not contain "#" and kind is not folderkind
repeat with myfile in myfiles
set myfile_datestring to my get_datestring(creation date of myfile)
set myfilename to name of myfile
if (count of every character of myfilename) > 4 and (character -4 of myfilename) as text is "." then
set filestatus to my checkifopened(myfile, 60)
if filestatus = false then
display dialog "timeout on folder action"
else
set tmp to ((characters 1 through -5 of myfilename) & "#" & myfile_datestring & (characters -4 through -1 of myfilename)) as text
set myfilename to my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(tmp, thefolder, false)
set name of myfile to myfilename
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on get_datestring(mydate)
return year of mydate & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (month of mydate as integer)) as text)) & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (day of mydate as integer)) as text)) as text
end get_datestring
on checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, looped)
--check if filename exists in D
-- so if "A File.pdf" exists it names it "A File 1.pdf","A File 2.pdf",...
#n = string of the filename
#D = file reference to the directory to check
#looped = boolean used for recursive loop...
tell application "Finder"
set thefiles to name of every item of (D as alias)
end tell
if thefiles contains n then
if looped = false then
set n to ((characters 1 through -5 of n) & "(1)" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
else
set tmp to (last word of ((characters 1 through -5 of n) as text) as integer)
set tmpcount to (count of characters of (tmp as text)) + 5
set tmp to tmp + 1
set n to ((characters 1 through (-1 * tmpcount) of n) & "(" & tmp & ")" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
end if
else
return n
end if
end checknamewith_pdfsuffix
on checkifopened(this, mytimeout)
## this file reference
## timeout in seconds
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
set startdate to current date
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
return true
else if ((current date) - startdate) > mytimeout then
return false
else
##say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
to use this save this script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts
and add this as a folder action to your folder...
The script processes all files inside that folder each time a new files is added...

How do I add a current date to a form field so that it will give me the current date each time it is opened?

I have adobe 9 pro. I am currently adding fields to a document and would like my date field to display the current date when the document is opened so that the user does not have to enter the date each time. How do I do that?

Have you searched for this issue. It has been answered many times.
Example Acrobat JavaScripts
Scroll down to the . Insert Today's Date into Form Field section.

How can I set the date field to auto populate the current date?

I have many forms to create where the current date dictates a specific change in options or conditions for the form filler to follow. I cannot see any way to handle that issue. Is it possible to simply set the current date as a default?

Sorry, we currently do not support having today's date show up in a date field by default

How do I insert the current date to hidden field?

I have a form for updating personal information. There is a field in the table called "dateupdated" that I would like to have on the form as a hiddent field that will automatically get the latest date (now).
Any idea's how I can set the hiddden field to current date?
Thanks, Dennis

You don't need a hidden field to do that. Depending on the database you're using, you can either use a TIMESTAMP column (in MySQL) that is automatically updated, or you can use a SQL function to insert the current date.
For example, in PHP, you can use NOW() like this in a SQL query:
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO date_test (created, message) VALUES (NOW(), %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['message'], "text"));

How to prevent an automatic fill in of the current date into a Date/Time Field

hi,
maybe i checked out a strange behaviour of the adobe designer. when i put a "normal" data/time field (with no data pattern, display pattern, etc.) on a form and then change (on the pdf preview tab) to the newly designed date field,i have to stay about 2 minutes on this field not filling it out.
after these minutes the current date is filled in automatically in the date/time field.
what can i do preventing that? any hints?
thanks in advance.

I don't have any info on timelines, all I can say is check back in future versions of Acrobat :(

Can a field be made to pull the current date from computer or internet and display it?

Im making a form for someone and they want the current date of when the form is opened to be displayed at the top without having to type it in. Is this possible? I assume this has something to do with javascript but I dont know anything about that stuff

Hi,
I search something in the forum and found your message. If you need it once again, try this:
var f = this.getField("currentDate");
f.value = util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy",new Date());
Or this one (helpful for Germans who want to display their date like this: 29. Juni 2010. If you take the first one in the dd. mmmm yyyy format, it shows you the month in English. 29. June 2010):
var f = this.getField("currentDate");
f.value = util.printd("date(de){DD. MMMM YYYY}", new Date(), true);
