I have a very useful script that I can insert into Advanced - Document Processing - Set Document Actions - Document Will Print, which is:
this.getField("PrintDate").value = "Printed on " + util.printd("dd-mmm-yyyy, hh:M tt",new Date());
How can I achieve the same effect on a form designed in LiveCycle Designer where, of course, I do not apparently have access to the same activity.

I assume it has something to do with the "prePrint" event, but I haven't a clue how I can achieve the same (or a similar) result.

What do I put, where within the form, and how do I get there?

Thanks

David

Hi,

To do it just place a textfield there you want current date to be inserted and then add a Javascript script for the prePrint event of this textfield:
this.rawValue="Printed on "+util.printd("dd-mmm-yyyy, hh:M tt",new Date());

As you see it's similar to the script you've used.

Hope that helps!
Regards, Andrey.

Hi Andrey,
That is so helpful. It works perfectly just as I wanted, and, as you say, the code is very similar to the script I have used.
Thank you so very much. You are a star.
Regards,
David
