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!

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

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 tailor a data merge to reverse the layout for facing pages?
I have used multiple record data merge to create a product catalog. I would like to reverse the content on only one side (i.e., the left pages) so that facing pages are mirrored. I can do this easily one page at a time using Flip Horizontal (and Clear Transformations), but I have not found a way to apply this to half of the document in a more automated way.
Any help would be much appreciated!!Data merge with multiple records doesn't work that way. All the pages will be identical after the merge, no matter how you set up the template (and the template itself can have only one page).

When reading my book on iBooks, I encounter duplicate pages for many pages then it skips the pages that should be there so I am missing large parts to chapters, is this a "bug" in the book or app? How can this be fixed?
Does the same thing happen on any other books that you have in the app ? If not then it's probably just that one book, in which can you could try deleting the book and re-downloading it - if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' from your purchase history :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

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?

Auto populate a date field in pdf

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 ESI 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!

In Pages, how to insert a PRINT-DATE field into a doc.?
Want to insert a field that will show the date of the doc's printing.
In MS Word, this is known as 'insert print date'.
How to do so in Pages? Thanks.You can define placeholder text in Pages v5.5.2 in any of the six header/footer sections. Think of it as a a field code that when you click on it the text you enter replaces the placeholder text using the same style. By example, I placed a combination of text and placeholder text in the lower left footer segment.
The text and the brackets were selected, and then Format ▸ Advanced ▸ Define as Placeholder Text. Also, because it is in the footer, it is replicated throughout the document. Although you could Insert > Date/Time into this placeholder text, automation may be preferred. I have chosen to use the same date/time style as MS Word uses in its print date field code. You can only change placeholder text programmatically with Pages and AppleScript on Yosemite. Once I run the AppleScript, all placeholder tags are replaced as shown in this image:
You could make this an Automator Service (e.g. run AppleScript action with no input, and output replacement is checked). One could assign a keyboard shortcut to this service too. One click printed date stamp and document sent to default printer.
The AppleScript (Yosemite only).
property tagStr : "[print-date]"
--- used for testing ---
-- set f to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) as text) & "arg.pages"
-- set hf to POSIX file f as alias
set printDate to "" as text
set theTags to {}
tell application "Pages"
activate
-- open hf
tell front document
set theTags to the tag of every placeholder text whose tag is equal to tagStr
-- Word print-date field code uses this 12-hour date/time format as mm/dd/YY 00:00 AM/PM
set printDate to do shell script ("/bin/date +'%D %l:%M %p'") as text
repeat with i from 1 to count of theseTags
set thisTag to item i of theseTags
set (every placeholder text whose tag is thisTag) to printDate
end repeat
-- use your own System Preferences printer name string
tell application "Samsung ML-2950 Series (Sammy)"
activate
-- no print dialog
print front document without «class pdlg»
quit
end tell
end tell
-- close front document saving no
end tell -
How to make the 'Finish Date' field Editable in Project server 2013
Hi All,
In Project server 2013 on premises deployment, When I try to create a new enterprise project [Also in case of new custom project type], Only the 'Start Date' field is available. The 'Finish Date' field is by default taking the value of the 'start Date' itself.
I am unable to make this 'Finish Date' field editable.
Any pointers on this would be very helpful,
Thanks
ShankyShanky --
When you create a new project in either Microsoft Project Professional or Project Online, the system does not allow you to enter both a Start date and a Finish date for the project. Here is how the software works:
You enter the Start date of the project.
You completely plan the project with tasks, task dependencies, task Durations, and assigning resources to tasks.
Based on the Start date you provide, plus all of the task information, the software calculates the Finish date of the project for you. So, you cannot provide both the Start date and the Finish date, nor is they any way to force the system to allow
you to do this. Hope this helps.

How to get a noneditable date field...
Hi,
The date item in HTMLDB provides a calendar alright, but the actual column is still open to the users to change the date chosen from the calendar, how do u make it a disabled field so that users cannot change the format of date chosen from the calendar just like a popup lov,displays description returns key value type....
or do we have to set some attibute to make this field disabled...
Thanks in advance
Regards
NaveenHi Naveen,
I'm not sure that you can lock or disable the date field, after all you want your user to enter one. But I think that you can use a validation on the item - Item specified is a valid date. Your users will get an error message each time they will try to enter invalid date, including wrong date format.
Hope it helps,
