Hello All,
New to Acrobat and making a form for integration with my document management software. I am replacing another proprietary form type with a pdf form. I need one field to start at a specific number and then increase by 1 every time a new version of the form is saved. Could someone please provide and Acrobat javascript for this with instruction for where to apply it? Thank you, all input is welcome.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

So, how much are you willing to pay for a Javascript that points to some small databse that contains the data and reports back to the PDF what the last saved PDF PO number was ?

Or, are you okay that everytime you open this PDF it counts up one number, you know, like a web page visit counter where it adds one count to the last number - ?

Or, are you okay that you may save, then - if you notice a mistake, it is okay that the counter just counts up one additional number...

Event the 'get current date' text field needs to check with SOMETHING to get todas date..

I use Quickbooks for my quotes, invoices - its has a database running.

- I would need a little more information.
