Adding a unique i.d. number to a form

Hi,
 
I'm currently designing an invoice. I am looking at adding a unique invoice number so that every time I open a new invoice a number is created within a field.
 
Ideally, if I can assign a prefix to it, then have the numbers increment by +1 every time that would be perfect.
 
Any ideas, or if anyone has solved this issue before your help would be much appretiated

Hi,

Since PDF forms created by livecycle is simply a file, it would be difficult to handle information that is used globally between files.

I would recommend to add a button that will create id number based on date time, or keep increment id in other database and add a button to retrieve global id information in PDF form.
