JavaScript code in PDF
I have a PDF with two text fields on it "Today" and "Tomorrow". I am trying to have the form read the "Today" field and then display "Today" + 1 day in the "Tomorrow" field. So, if the "Today" text field is 2/18/2020 then the "Tomorrow" text field will read 2/20/2020. Here is the code I have so far:
this.addScript("init", "var d = new Date(); var f = this.getField(\"Today\"); if (f.value==\"\") f.value = d; var t = this.getField(\"Tomorrow\"
this.addScript("init", "var d = new Date(); var f = this.getField(\"Today\"); if (f.value==\"\") f.value = d; var t = this.getField(\"Tomorrow\"
Hi,
Usually Javascript won't play well into PDF or not at all .
What do you use to generate the PDF?

Also please note init doesn't run when the user type something (change) in Today
You should use Acrobat Events to run your code (when document open and when the user leave the Today field)
If you still want to try your method :

var today = new Date();
var tomorrow = new Date();
var todayField = this.getField("Today");
var tomorrowField = this.getField("Tomorrow");
if(todayField.value == "") {
todayField.value = (1+today.getMonth()) + "/" + today.getDate() + "/" + today.getFullYear();// MM/DD/YYYY
}
else {
var txt = todayField.value.split("/");
today = new Date(txt[2], txt[0]-1, txt[1]);
}
tomorrow.setTime(today.getTime()+(24*60*60*1000));
tomorrowField.value = (1+tomorrow.getMonth()) + "/" + tomorrow.getDate() + "/" + tomorrow.getFullYear();
If you still want to try your method :
this.addScript("init",'var today=new Date;var tomorrow=new Date;var todayField=this.getField("Today");var tomorrowField=this.getField("Tomorrow");if(todayField.value=="")todayField.value=1+today.getMonth()+"/"+today.getDate()+"/"+today.getFullYear();else{var txt=todayField.value.split("/");today=new Date(txt[2],txt[0]-1,txt[1])}tomorrow.setTime(today.getTime()+24*60*60*1E3);tomorrowField.value=1+tomorrow.getMonth()+"/"+tomorrow.getDate()+"/"+tomorrow.getFullYear();');
