Hi there.
Several years ago, I created a PDF document that had a date field that defaulted to today's date when it was opened. It used some JavaScript to make that happen. I've since upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X and need to do this for another form, but can't remember how I did it. I've tried several online resources and have come up empty. It seems everything I've found is for a different version of Acrobat and doesn't apply. Here's what I've tried so far:

The problem I'm running into is that the Trigger event listed in this article isn't consistent with what's available in this version of Acrobat. I was looking for a "Page Open" event to tie the JavaScript code to, but I only have these options:

Mouse Up, Mouse Down, Mouse Enter, Mouse Exit, On Focus, On Blur

Right now, the Java script code is applied in the Actions tab of the Text Field Properties, but I can't get this to work. Any suggestions? Am I missing something? Here's the code used to generate today's date:

var f = this.getField("wells_datefield");
if (!f.value) f.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());

Thanks for your help.
