Hi<br />
<br />
Go to Tools|Advanced Editing and insert a text field. In the Calculate tab select custom script and enter:<br />
<br />
event.value = new Date().toString(); // as a full character string <br />
<br />
event.value = util.printd(&quot;mm/dd/yyyy&quot;, new Date() ); // as a formatted date <br />
<br />
Then select 'Date' from the format dropdown and select your format.<br />
<br />

I tried this,<br />

It seems to update the date correctly when viewing the document in Acrobat and when designing it, but once saved and opened with Adobe reader, it does not change from that saved date.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
