Great, straightforward explanation, thanks for this.

[@kristenbrunelle5628]

Great tutorial, worked perfectly for me. Do you also have a tutorial for auto populating time? Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

[@thespartanproject001]

Very informative!! Thank you!

[@mr.embrute]

❤ Thank you!!!

[@wagyank]

Thank you very much for the short cut, very helpful!

[@TomJenkins-d2p]

Thank you for helping add the date, is there a way to add the current time?

[@Michael-er1xh]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@heldermilato2821]

Thank you, it worked for me.

Thank you for the video. I know that SIGNing will freeze everything in a fillable document but how do you keep the date from updating when the form is reopened while retaining the ability to update the other fields?

[@EssetinoMedia]

The date shouldn’t update on its own, unless there is a JavaScript code installed on your PDF to automatically fill the date - if that’s the case, you may need to amend the code.

I wonder if you still look at the comments. I actually want to create a date in adobe spark. I think I will get around it by first creating a pdf form, and then place it in adobe spark. I do want to ask if you know how I can create a column on the side of the document with a timer on e.g. it starts at 0 at the top and stop at the bottom at 60 minutes. I want to create something like this for a 60-minute period in the classroom.

Hi, thank you for tip, how can I add date and time together

[@dianem3437]

this is fine in a powerpoint, but I'm trying to find the text box in an actual pdf.

Where do you get the java script to cut and paste?

[@mieaihtaw3725]

Thank you really :)

[@doraamaya6642]

Thank you!!

[@user-ut5do2rg1c]

How do you make the date and time show up with current date when you click on the fillable square. Not when the document is opened up.

[@user-hm7vg8do1j]

My options don't look the same so I've used 'Document Actions' and then 'Document Will Print' in the drop down menu. Is this correct?

[@nancygasse7823]

Didn't work for me. I get an error, javascript degugger shows me this: TypeError: f is null 2:Page:Open

[@catiecrews8502]

What if you want it to auto populate the date to be 5 days later than another date listed in the form? So, if I manually type last sunday in one field, the next field could reference that date and add 5 days and populate the 5th day following that sunday (friday).

[@user-ox2oc9iy3g]

Where am I getting the description to copy and paste into the java script pop up?

[@cheriebouker6132]

If I have more than one date field (i.e. renters), do I choose unique names for the date fields (date1, date2) and repeat the Java script w that change? If I want the date field to auto fill upon the signature field being filled, do I just change the trigger?

[@stratmancruthers]

Didn't work for me for some reason, did everything like you, but all I get is a blank box when previewing, I'm just trying to have a date show up on my resume when someone opens the pdf.

How do I add a custom expiration to a PDF I sent out for signature?

[@andregiestas]

You are a life savior. May I please ask something? Today is 02/21/2024 (mm/dd/yyyy). I am willing the date to be displayed diferently, I hope I could get some help. I want the date I mentioned to be like 21 of February of 2024 (dd "of" mmmm "of" 2024). Is that even possible? Thanks again for ur video, it was amazing!

[@EssetinoMedia]

You're welcome Andre! It's not possible with their default date formats (which you can see when you go into the date field properties in the Format tab) but you may be able to achieve this using a custom script. If you want this done, send me an email auret at essetinomedia.com - I'll have our PDF Javascript expert confirm whether it's possible and can provide you with a quote. :)
