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.

    hallo friends,
    i ha ve to add some fields to the output of custome report of transaction FBL5N.

    2.     Credit Representative Group: (Table: KNKK; Field Name: SBGRP)
    3.     Customer Account Number(CAN#): (Table: KNKK; Field Name: KNKLI)

    MY ATTEMPTS:
    I tried getting the data for KNKK table by GET KNKK ,but it is giving some garbage values...
    And Logical database used here is DDF,and i have to add the VKORG of KNVV too...but KNVV is not there in DDF...
    Can anybody tell me how should i proceed..
    thanks in advance.

    Thnx Andreas,
    i have following doubts again..
    I have to add sales organisation field to the selection screen...(this is given in the req.)
    now if i will say GET KNKK...it would not keep account of this 'sales organisation' field...so how should i fetch the data with these input data( i.e. 'compny code' and 'customer' are the fields given by LDB and 'sales oraganisation' is the field i put it on the selection screen)
    And what about the KNVV-VKORG ,because the KNVV is not present in the LDB.

  • Problem with Refreshing the data bound text fields

    Folks,
    First of all, this a GREAT product and I am moving my apps from Eclipse to Studio Creator. I am very impessed with it so far.
    I am gone through most tutorials, but can't help resolve the problem that I am having. I have a page, that lists all the users in a table. When you click on any user, it opens up another page that lists the detail of the specific user you have clicked on. This a typical use in most web applications, right?
    In the user detail page, I open it in "Read" only mode, by setting the "setReadOnly" to true for all text field components. Then users can edit it by clicking "Edit" button. Edit button just changes the "setReadOnly" to false, to allow editing. After editing, they can hit the "Save" button to save the changes. In the save button, I call this code:
    public void prerender() {
            try {
                userID=getSessionBean1().getUserID();
                getSessionBean1().getWeb_userRowSetUserDetail().setObject(1,userID);
                getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().refresh();
                info("prerender: Refresh called");
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                error("Error in userForm.prerender():"+ex.getMessage()+ex.getStackTrace());
                log("Error in userForm.prerender():", ex);
            setReadWrite();
    public String btnSave_action() {
            try {
                getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().commitChanges();
                getWeb_userDataProviderUserDetail().refresh();
                info("Data Provider Refreshed in SAVE");
                _readOnly=true;
                form1.discardSubmittedValues("saveVForm");
                info("User Updated New:"+userID);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                log("Error Description", ex);
            return null;
        public String btnEdit_action() {
            try {
                _readOnly=false;
                //info("User ID Edt="+getSessionBean1().getUserID());
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                error("Error in userForm.btnEdit_action:"+ex.getMessage()+ex.getStackTrace());
                log("Error in userForm.btnEdit_action():", ex);
            return null;
        private void setReadWrite(){
            // Set read-only to true or false for all text fiels
            this.btnEdit.setVisible(_readOnly);
            this.btnSave.setVisible(!_readOnly);
            this.user_id.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_email_client.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_email_office.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_fname.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_lname.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_id.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_password.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_password_conf.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_phone_cell.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_phone_cell_aac.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_phone_client.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_phone_home.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
            this.user_phone_office.setReadOnly(_readOnly);
        }When the save button is clicked, the database is updated (as I can verify by looking directly into the database), but the data-bound text fields do not display the new value. YES, I am calling refresh() on data provider? I tried to call refresh in both "preRender()" and "Save" button action event, but that did not help either.
    Please note that the save button also changes the "setReadOnly" back to TRUE for all text fields. That means, users view the page in Read-Only mode after saving. (They have to click on "Edit" button again to edit it). I discovered that if I do not set the text field components in "ReadOnly" mode, then they display the updated value of the fields. But if I change setReadOnly to TRUE, then they display the old values (before the save).
    Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
    Thanks

    Here is my experience with it. I have three text
    boxes to be filled out. They are part of a virtual
    form with an add button as the submit. You can fill
    out the 3 and add them and a node is added to a tree
    component. When you click on a node in the tree
    component (the submit to another virtual form that
    the 3 buttons participate in) the text fields should
    be loaded with the values that they where added with.Hard to tell from this explanation, but if the text fields do not participate in a virtual form, then they are not going to get updated when an action in the virtual form happens. Not sure this is your problem. Like I say, hard to tell from this explanation.
    They will not display the values though...having
    nothing to do with read only. If I disable them
    before hand...they display the updated values. If I
    set their value at the top or bottom of prerender,
    they display the change...if I set the value in an if
    conditional that is hit (I have checked many times)
    in prerender, they will not display the values. If I
    set them in the tree handler anywhere, they will not
    display the values. This is very frustrating and is
    wasting tons of my time...I simply want to load the
    text fields based on the tree node that was
    clicked...I have messed with this for hours and it
    certainly does not work.Well, setting them in the tree handler won't work because the tree handler gets called in the page instance that handles the submit and not the page instance that renders the response.
    Posting your prerender code might help. Also, your action handler.

  • 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-update the date (in a footer)  in Pages 5.2.2 ?

    I have inserted the date into the footer of my document. I am running Pages 5.2.2 on Mavericks.
    I would like the date to auto-update to today's date.  I found a post from 2013 ( How to auto-update Time and Date?), but my version of pages doesn't work as described.  The only choice is update to today's date as a button I can manually click, but there doesn't seem to be an auto-update check box anymore.  Is there a new way to do it or has the feature been removed?

    Hi Cindy,
    Click once in the Footer.
    Menu > Insert > Date & Time.
    Double click to select the Date & Time in the Footer and choose a Date & Time format
    And there is also the Set to Today button.
    Waiting several minutes (just enough time for a cup of coffee) and then clicking the Set to Today button, the time changes from 9:53 pm to 9:59 pm.
    I can't wait until tomorrow to see if the date changes, but I think it will .
    Another way (clunky) is to insert a single-cell table somewhere in your document and type =now and format to your liking.
    As far as I know, Date & Time will update after you Save and then Open your document. Please call back after you test.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to create a calendar picker that auto populates the date in adobe XI Professional?

    I'm looking to do this in a  form i'm creating.

    There is no built-in date picker (for Acrobat/Reader on Windows/Mac at least) for forms created with Acrobat. I'm hoping that will change someday, but in the mean time you can use the date picker provided by: http://www.formrouter.com/tools/
    There is also a PDF developer (not me) who sells a JavaScript-based date picker using custom dialogs, which is much more convenient. You can PM me if you want contact information.

  • How do I get all the songs into one album when it's various artisits?

    I have several albums that are made up of various artists, not just one.  How do I get all the artists under the one heading of the album?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For compilations use Various Artists and also got the options tab and set Part of a compilation to Yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How to know or check the type of a field when processing a dynamic table?

    Dear all,
        When processing a dynamic table i have a short dump because of a convert_of_type incorrect, so i would like to check the type of field-symbol <f> before moving the data (type char) to this field-symbol <f>.
    Could you please help me how to check or get the type of field-symbol <f> (because field-symbol <f> is assigned dynamic, so this <f> can be type char, unit, or quantity, ...)?
    The source code same as below:
       ASSIGN COMPONENT lc_field OF STRUCTURE ls_data TO <f>.
       MOVE lv_field TO <f>. (Dump is here when lv_field is char type and <f> is quantity type => could i check the type of <f> if it's char type before using this instruction "MOVE ..."?)
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Vinh Vo

    Try to use this way
    WRITE lv_field TO <f>.
    Instead of
    MOVE lv_field TO <f>.

  • Cannot input data into Text Field on from Adobe Acrobat  Reader

    I created a form in Acrobat 5 that has check boxes and text fields. Using reader I can open the doc and use check boxes and input text into fields. Once this doc is loaded to our web server and a user opens or downloads the file they can check the boxes but cannot enter any text into the text fields. Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance

    And so.. what is invalid?
    I've uploaded the pdf files as example:

    (I can generate a more complexe pdf file with fonts, images,... it will be displayed correctly, but Adobe always want to modifiy it).
    So perhaps I missed somthing into the pdf file format specification ?

  • Auto Populate Drop Down and Text Fields from Other Drop Down and Text Fields

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying to pre populate a "Proposed Employment Status" drop down field with the selection from the "Current Employment Status" drop down field and allowing users to select another option if the proposed employment has changed. If it hasn't it would just remain as populated by the Current Employment Status" entry.
    I'm also trying to do this with text fields eg "Proposed Position Title" is populated with "Current Position Title". If the title changes in the bew employment arrangements users can enter it over the Proposed Position Title that is presented when the Current Position Title is entered.
    I can get it to work if the drop down or text field names are the same, but this doesnt solve the problem.
    Any ideas
    Regards,
    Michael

    Java is a full featured-language and you shouldn't have any problem doing the mathematics, etc.
    As far as the rest, Studio Creator is a relatively easy way to create the user interface that you describe. If supports drop-down selectable lists and standard form capabilities. A Web Application architecture would appear to be ideally suited to what you describe, and this is supported by SC. Be aware that this would require a server to serve the application to the client computer.
    If the server is a problem you could consider an applet that would be downloaded from a website, and then run entirely on the client computer. But the first approach is better.

  • How to change a list/menu to a text field when 'Other' is chosen?

    Hi there. I've been trying to solve this for a week now and I have depleted all my resources, that is why I'm here. I even went to jquery but nothing works and I think I was over-complicating this way too much.
    In short: I have a contact form, which have a list/menu with validation, and one of the options of that list/menu is "other". What I want is that when the user select "other" automatically change to a text field in order to let the user put his custom color. This is what I have:
    <form method="post" action="process.php">
    <span id="spryselect1">
    <label for="colors"></label>
    <select name="colors" id="colors">
    <option selected="option1">Blue.</option>
    <option value="option2">White</option>
    <option value="option3">Red</option>
    <option value="other">other</option>
    </select>
    <span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select a colour.</span></span>
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
    </form>
    I know now that the approach is to show/hide a separate textbox besides the other... well. I don't know how to implement that, I think I really need your help guys. I'm completely frustrated.
    Thanks in advance.
