Auto populate a date field in pdf

in the form I am working on I have a date/time field. I need it to populate the current date when the form is open. I get it to work but it has the time on it. I only need the date. when I try to change it to display just the date. It will not auto populate ? please help. Thank you for any one who can help.
using adobe livecycle ES

I found out how to use current date.
To add current date fields in LifeCycle
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
Note:  When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form. 
1.  In the Object Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2.  In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3.  Select the Runtime Property option.
4.  View the form in the Preview PDF tab.
Hope this helps!

  • Can Acrobat auto populate a date field upon digital signature of a form?

    We use several fillable forms with digital ID signature fields.  A business rule requires a date field next to the signature field.  Is it possible to define the date field to auto populate once the user signs the form?  I can't check this in Acrobat since I only have the reader.

    Hi,
    The short answer is yes, but of course you'll need to get Acrobat to edit the PDF file.
    Generically, here is what  you are looking to do:
    Open the Digital Signature Properties dialog
    Select the Signed tab
    Select the This script executes when the field is signed radio button
    Click the Edit button
    Add the code snippet below to the JavaScript editor
    Click the OK button on the JavaScript editor
    Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
    // JavaScript code to add the date at signing time
        var currentTime = new Date()
        var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
        var day = currentTime.getDate()
        var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
        var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year  //Modify into your preferred format
        var f = this.getField("Text1");  //Modify the field name as necessary
        f.value = signingTime;
    Good luck,
    Steve

  • How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

    I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

    Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
    this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
    Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

  • How do I auto populate the date into text fields when form is first opened?

    Hello,
    I read all about the changing the scripts but its not really working for me. I was hoping someone could help me with directions on how to auto populate the date into designated text fields when my adobe document is first opened?
    I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9.
    Thank you,
    Sheri

    When you add a new document JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts > Script Name (enter something) > Add), you will be given a function skeleton by default. Just delete it and enter the line of code I showed above. Now, whenever the document is opened, the code will get triggered and the field will be updated with the current date. There is no "Document Open" action (at least that's accessible via Acrobat's UI), but this is effectively the same thing since any document-level JavaScripts are executed when the document is opened.

  • Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.

    Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.
    Hi.
    I have a Sharepoint 2013 list with three fields. Code, Section and Sub Section.
    I would like to be able to have the form autopopulate the Section and Sub Section fields when a value for code is entered.
    How would I go about this please?
    Thanks
    Jon

    Hi JonMorgan,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to achieve that the second dropdown gets populated depending on what the first dropdown is set to.
    To achieve your requirement, creating cascading dropdown fields with InfoPath.
    Please refer to the following links about cascade drop down in InfoPath form:

  • How do you auto populate a dynpro field when hit key while in other fields?

    This is a dialog programming question for a custom dialog program (it is NOT an SAP program).
    I have a dialog program that neds to be changed to accomodate the following.
    i have searched SDN and can not find anything to resolve this issue.
    I have a screen with multiple lines, scrolling, etc.
    The first field in a line is a required entry.
    There are two date fields that need to be automatrically populated when a value is entered in the first field.
    In other words - when the user enters the first field value and then tabs to next field (or they may press enter, etc.) i need to populate the date fields on the same line and display them back to the user immdeately.
    I can not get this to work - any help most appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Scott

    Unfortunately, there's no 'tab-out' event in ABAP standard dynpros - you've got to trigger a PAI event to make that happen (such as hitting 'Enter').

  • How can I populate a date field when document is signed?

    I have 4 digital signature fields in a PDF form.  Next to each signature field is a date field (m/d/yyyy format).  I would like it so when the user signs the signature box that the date field next to it populates with todays date, then changes to read only (so it cannot be altered).
    In Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 I have this form and it has the following fields
    Signature1
    Signature2
    Signature3
    Signature4
    DateField1
    DateField2
    DateField3
    DateField4
    The Signature fields trigger a Topaz.GemSignPlus driver where the end user will be signing on an electronic signature pad.
    How can I use Javascript to detect when one of those Signature fields is populated and then fill in the date to the approrpiate date field?  I tried creating boolean variables initialized as false for each sig field.  Then when the signature is done I try to change it to true, but for whatever reason my javascript detecting the value doesn't do anything.
    I've searched the net endlessly for this solution.  I can't believe I'm having such a hard time finding an answer.  I mean how many places do you go where they ask you to "Sign and date here".  Every signature based document I've ever seen also requires a date.
    Anyway here's what I have.  In Document JavaScript functions I have a script name called populate date:
    function populatedate()
    var bSignature1 = new Boolean();
    var bSignature2 = new Boolean();
    var bSignature3 = new Boolean();
    var bSignature4 = new Boolean();
    if (bSignature1) {
        DateField1.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
    if (bSignature2) {
        DateField2.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
    if (bSignature3) {
        DateField3.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
    if (bSignature4) {
        DateField4.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
    In each signature field I have under the Signed tab "This script executes when field is signed:
    var bSignature1 = new Boolean(true);
    I'm trying to change it to true see.  My thinking is if its true than DateField1.value should print the m/d/yyyy in it from the built in Date() function.
    But maybe I am not getting this context correct.  I am new to Javascript in Adobe.

    It's quite a round-about script... Why not simply use the signature signing script to set the value of the date field? The correct syntax for that is:
    this.getField("DateField1").value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());

  • How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

    Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
    var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
    Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
    - Michael

    Hi M. Krebs,
    Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
    Best,

  • Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

    Hello,
    I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs.  I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
    We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process.  Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields?  We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
    This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads.  I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
    Many thanks to the forum!
    Regards,
    Geoff

    Hi Geoff,
    Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
    Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
    In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2010/01/adobe_secured_customer_showcas_8.html
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=762388&l oc=en_us
    However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
    If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
    Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
    Kind regards

  • I have a PC with Windows 7 Professional and Adobe Reader.  Adobe keeps auto changing all dates in a PDF.  HELP!!

    I am trying to complete an interactive PDF for an insurance company.  The form has several dates that need to be completed, like my DOB, date of training and date of current medical certificate.  If I enter data in one of the date fields, it automatically changes all the dates.  Obviously, these dates are all different, but it will not allow me to make them different.  This is also happening for the address fields.  I need to be able to input my personal address and the address where I completed my training.  I have already went to: Edit- Preferences- Form and unchecked the "automatically calculate field values" box, and  turned "auto complete" off.  Still automatically changing all similar fields with same data!!  Please help!!

    It's happening because the creator of the form did a terrible job at it and just copy&pasted the fields, which means they are identical copies of one another. You can't do anything to prevent that from happening. Report the issue to the insurance company. They need to sort it out on their end.

  • How do I set blank data to date field in pdf form ?

    Dear Sir,
    I made PDF form by Acrobat X on Windows PC and then,
    read the pdf form by acrobat reader on iPad.
    Date field  is included in the form.
    The Acrobat version is 10.1.6 .
    The acrobat reader version is 10.5.0 .
    First, I put the wrong date data to the date field.
    So, I tried to clear the date field.
    I want to put the blank data to the date, but I think
    there are no way to put the blank data on iPad
    I would like to know how to reset the date data.
    If that helps, I tried to the same thing on Android.
    I could put blank data to the date field by BS key.
    Sincerely,

    Here is how to clear the Date field on the Ipad.
    NOTE: In order for this to work that has to be another TEXT field in the PDF to get the keyboard to pop-up.
    Click on Text field (this is to get the regular keyboard on screen)
    Click on Date field (date spinner control will show up)
    Click on SAME DATE field (spinner control will disapper)
    Click on "Reset Field" on top of keyboard (date field will now be empty)
    Click any where on PDF that is not another Date field (keyboard will disappear and date field will be empty)
    Bingo! your free and clear.

  • Auto-populate CRMOD Communication fields

    Hello,
    I'm trying to tighten up the reporting in CRMOD based on our calls coming into COD, and I'm looking for help. When a call comes in (we're using COD), the agent gets a pop of an Activity screen (subtype = Communication). If the agent doesn't associate a first time caller with a Lead, Contact, or Opportunity, then the record of that call in CRMOD is not of much value to us. (I believe that for subsequent calls, the Activity will automatically be associated if we've created a Lead or Contact with that phone number, but I'm not 100% sure.) But still, it's the first call that I want to report on. That is, the first time someone calls, it may be on a number that's dedicated to a particular campaign. But if we send out information (or an agent just gives out a phone number), it may not be the same as the first time.
    So, is there:
    1) A way to auto-poulate the Campaign field in Call Detail based on the Destination? (This would be for select Destinations. For example, if some calls in on 800-555-1234, I know it's always a call for Campaign X. But if someone calls in on 800-555-7890, I can't assign it because there are multiple campaigns using that number.)
    2) A way to associate the Calls after the fact. Say someone called in 5 more times and those all associated properly, can I update that first one without having to go digging for it?

    The easiest way to do what you want to do is to have your agents create the new lead from the call detail during the call. So here are the steps:
    - Call comes in, but the number isn't recognized so the call detail (activity) comes up.
    - On the call detail, click the magnifying glass (search) on the lead field.
    - On the lead search screen that comes up, there's a button to create a new lead.
    - Create the lead and enter the phone number of the lead. (The call detail will have the origin phone number that the caller called from. You should verify with the caller that this is the best number to reach them at.)
    - Save the lead - this will populate the lead onto the call detail and associate them

  • How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

    I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
    Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
    Caroline

    Hey Mandy,
    Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
    And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
    Thx,
    C

  • Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after entering a data into a textbox.

    Firstly can I please say I am sorry to be revisiting this but I just can sort it out!!
    I have 3 fields in a SharePoint 2013 list, Code, Section, SubSection, after some guidance I am trying to use rules to populate Section/SubSection when a Code is entered.  I am getting the Data for the three Fields from an XML file. The form can see
    the XML data fine. Here's the BUT.. I cant seem to get the quering correct to autofil the other two fields.
    I promise this is the last time I shall ask for help on this!
    TIA
    Jon

    Thanks Cameron.
    No that’s not what I need, not Cascading Drop Downs, I want TextBox’s to be populated.
    I have 3 fields, Code, Section, and SubSection, when a user enters a code into the first box, a rule queries the list, I(I have XML or SharePoint List) to populate the Section/SubSection with
    the data relating to the Code.
    So far I have a rule that on FormLoad when the Code field changes it queries the XML list for the info.  The problem I have it I can’t get the query correct.
    Thanks
