Current Date question

Hi. Is there anyway in Java to get the current system date or a date in the current timezone and assign it maybe to a Date object?
Thanks

new java.util.Date() gives you a Date object representing the current instant in time. TZ doesn't come into play until you format it for display.

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

Javascript Question - How to Insert a Dynamic/Current Date into the Footer of a Scanned Document

Hi!
I am looking for help in finding a Javascript that would allow the insertion of a dynamic/current date into the footer of a scanned document at the time the document is printed.
I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 at my work and there has arisen a need to have a dynamic/current date in the footer on scanned documents when they are printed out on different days by different people.
I am new to the Forum and I am also very new to Javascript and what this entails.
Thank you in advance for your help and input!

this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date()),
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom,
nHorizValue: -72, nVertValue: 72
Will insert the current Monday/Day/Year as a text watermark at the bottom of every page of a document, 1 inch up and 1 inch in from the right corner.

Extremely novice question regarding entry of current date

Using LiveCycle v. 8. Just want a field to display the current date when the form is opened.
The field type is date/time. When selected, I have the script bar set to "DocReady" as the event and script language = FormCalc. Can't figure out what to put in the script line to make the field display the date.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Claudia,
make the date field readonly and place this script in the layout:ready event of the date field:
var months = new Array ("01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", "11", "12");
var now = new Date();
//var dateFormat = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", now); //this works but produces an error message in the warnings window "util undefined"
//this.rawValue = dateFormat;
var yyyy = now.getYear() + 2000 - 100;
var mm = now.getMonth(); mm = months[mm];
var dayNumber = now.getDate();
var dd;
if (dayNumber < 9)
{dd = "0" + dayNumber;}
else {dd = dayNumber;};
if (this.rawValue == null) this.rawValue = yyyy + "-" + mm + "-" + dd;

New to LiveCycle and question on Current Date box.

Hi all,
I'm very new to designer and I'm trying to put in a Current Date box. The issue I have is that it displays as 2/26/09 and I need it to display as February 26, 2009.
I've gone into the patterns and enter that, but it doesn't change anything.
When I drag the Current Date box into the form, I get a message that says "This object has settings that this form does not support. These settings are removed when the object is placed on the form."
What is this? I made this form off of an existing PDF file that has nothing in it.
Thanks for any help,
Jason

Ah, ok I see what's going on - I didn't realize there was a prebuilt current date object.
The reason it doesn't change the format from the Patterns is because it is using a script like the one I gave you.
You need to open the Script Editor window (Window->Script Editor -- I think its default location is just under the toolbars above the page you're working on) then when you click on the object the Script Editor will list scripts attached to the object.
You need to change the script where it says DateFmt(1) to DateFmt(3).

Current date, first day of month, last day of month, current week, current

Hi All,
may be the question will sounds basic for your guys, I am connecting via MDX a cognos reportnet on a BW 3.0B..due to loads of limitations on filtering via MDX on 'business date/time functions' , I would need to create in the infoqueries that are my data sources, the following additionnal objects:
- current date
- first day of current month
- last day of current month
- current week
- current year
I do not want prefiltered infoqueiries but object with these single values so that from reportnet I can have something like: OCALDAY between 'first day of current month' and 'last day of curent month'
Is there standard fonction for this under BW/BEX or if we need to developp functions has nayone some code examples.
thanks a lot for your great input
David

Hi,
In universe level if you want implement the requirede functions then you have to write custom sql and if you want to implement them in Reporting level then most of the functions are available to you. e.g. Quarter,Month, Year, Current Date....

Acrobat 9 - how do you create a dynamic stamp to include the current date (java script)

I have seen my question multiple places and times but the resolutions provided have not worked for me.
I am running Acrobat 9 Pro, cannot run X or XI due to the use of ProSystem fx Engagement.
I want to create what I thought would be a simple stamp. My initials and the current date. i.e. "crm 01/10/13".
Simple right? I created a PDF of my initials. Now I just need the text field with the proper Java Script to insert the date, correct?
I have tried opening "Dynamic.pdf" and copying and pasting the text field that includes the Java Script:
" event.value = (new Date()).toString(); AFDate_FormatEx("h:MM tt, mmm dd, yyyy"); "
The date does not update, it stays static.
I have manually entered the Java Script.
I have edited the Java Script to remove the "Ex".
I have edited the Java Script to revise the "yyyy" to "yy".
I have edited the Java Script to remove the " h:MM tt, " trying different formats to get "dd/mm/yy".
I have selected "Use single-key accelerators to access tools" in Preferences/General.
I have tried PDF files, PNG files. I have created the image files from Word and Excel.
I am at my wits' end. Can someone PLEASE assist me to resolve what should be a simple issue (I hope).
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response.
Your script works well, but I still have the same issue. The date is remaining static to the system date when the stamp is created. My initial idea was to create a pdf of my initials "crm" and then add the text field with the java script for the date behind my initials. "crm" + (TEXT FIELD with JS). I wanted 3 stamps, red, blue and green. The colors correspond to specific processes in our workflow.
Your script adds my initials as well as the date.
My machine is running Windows 7.
My stamps are located:
C://Documents/Acrobat Stamps/...
Acrobat templates:
C://Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat 9.0/Acrobat/plug_ins/Annotations/Stamps/ENU/...
I have no problem creating stamps, just a stamp that will use the current system date. I HATE using the typewriter for my initials and the date. I guess I can stamp my initials and then type the date...but what is the point?
Do you have any further thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you very much.

How do I use AppleScript to Change the Creation Date to the Current Date?

I sorted my downloads folder by creation date and found that the items were sorted seemingly randomly. On closer inspection, I saw that the creation dates were not the same as the dates that I downloaded the items, so I figures that Snow Leopard was using the date given to it by the server.
In order to get the items sorted by download date, I figured I'd use Hazel, but it doesn't have a “change creation date” item. It does, however, have an “run AppleScript” item.
So my question is this: how do I use AppleScript to change the creation date of an item to the current date?

Try this Applescript. It will change the creation date of every file in the Downloads folder to the current date and time:
<pre style="

font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;

width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the AppleScript Editor">
set current_date_and_time to do shell script "date \"+%m/%d/%Y %H:%M\""
tell application "Finder"
set filelist to every file of the alias (the path to downloads folder as text)
repeat with currentFile in filelist
do shell script "/usr/bin/SetFile -d " & quoted form of current_date_and_time & space & quoted form of POSIX path of (currentFile as string)
end repeat
end tell</pre>

Current Date in jTextBox

I would like to populate a textbox with the current date. This textbox is not bound to a table. It is simply used as criteria to run a report. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance, William

I have finally got everything working. Disregard my 2 questions in the previous post. Again thanks-a-million for your help. Below is my code. William
long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long oneSecond = 1000;
long oneMinute = 1000*60;
long oneHour = 1000*60*60;
long oneDay = 1000*60*60*24;
Date currentDate = new Date(currentTime);
Date thirtyDaysAgo = new Date(currentTime-(oneDay*30));
Date FirstOfMonth = new Date(currentTime - (oneDay * (currentDate.getDate()-1)));
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
String txtCurrDate = simpleDateFormat.format(currentDate).toString();
String txt30Date = simpleDateFormat.format(thirtyDaysAgo).toString();
String txtFirstOfMonth = simpleDateFormat.format(FirstOfMonth).toString();
txtCurrentDate.setText(txtCurrDate);
txt30DaysAgo.setText(txt30Date);
txt1stOfMonth.setText(txtFirstOfMonth);

XSLT: Validate if date is before date of current date

Hi everyone,
we need to check condition in XSLT transformation that if a date is before the current date or not.
its easy to do this in java but not finding anything to do this in xslt.
If anyone knows this please provide any pointer.
TIA,

to put above question clearly:
For example if i have a date say
targetDate = 2015-03-02T00:00:00.000
now i need to verify if this targetDate is before current date or not.
If(targetDate>beforeCurrentDate)
targetDate = targetDate - 1 Month

Current date format

Hello-
This seems like it should be so obvious and simple. I want the current date to pop up on a form letter. However, my only choice seems to be the format of 1/11/11. This isn't very professional looking, so I would like it to be 'January 11, 2011'. Why can't I override the format on the Calculated - Read Only or Runtime Property of the Object Value Type section???
Sorry if this is an old question - seems so silly.
Thanks for any info!!

Thanks Geo - that worked!
Even added the current time in a separate field using:
Num2Time(Time(), "hh:MM:SS A")
Is there a way to output the date AND time in the same form field?
I tried entering:
Num2Date(Date(), "D MMM YYYY") Num2Time(Time(), "hh:MM:SS A")
But it did not work...
