Date/Time stamp JS Code no longer working in Adobe 9

Question

Hey all,
I work in the healthcare industry and we timestamp all our documents with the pretty popular javascript code of
var f = this.getField("today");
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy
", new Date());
But recently our dept. switched to Adobe 9, and now this same code only pulls the date, and the time reads 0:00am.  I know how to fix it, but I'm wondering what is the cause, and if there is anything we can do about the other 40,000 documentes we already have that is stamped with this older and seemingly defunct code, as inspectors and regulators will probably ask why we have 0:00am on our pages that are viewed in Adobe 9.  Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

var f = this.getField("today");
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy
h:MM tt", new Date());
Will now display the time also, given the same text field properties are set which were present on the original time-stamp document.  Which is great going forward, the only problem is that we have 40,000 docs on our intranet that when opened with Adobe Acrobat version 9, stamped with the old code with those same text field properties, will now display 0:00am as the current time.  I don't know the cause of this except that some kind of functionality of one of the methods had to have been changed somehow in Adobe 9.  I know that Adobe 9 now uses Javascript 1.7, Adobe 8 used 1.6.  The only way I can think of so far to fix this is to manually go into each document and place this new code in there, or go back and change the text field properties format, both options of which require us to handle each individual document.  That's why I asked if there was some kind of universal setting that I could set that would interpret the javascript code a certain way, but i don't know if that exists.
