Hi Bryan_Sims,

Here is a tutorial from the Learning Center here at AUC on calculating with dates and times in PDFs-

There is a link in the tutorial for a PDF you can download and examine the scripts used. Also, this is one part of a 3 part series on working with dates and times in Acrobat- good reading if you want to learn more.

Hope this helps,

There are also several posts on this forum on performing date calculations. Have you looked at any of these?

Here's an article on traditional JavaScript Date calculations in AcroForms, but everthing also applies to LC forms:
