I am designing a form in LiveCycle v 8.2.1 and having some problems getting a date field to function how I would like it to. I used the Current Date from the custom object library to use for my date field, and it works as it should, inserting the current system date in the field. My problem with this is, if a user fills out the form on 1/1/10, digitally signs it and saves it, I want the date to remain at 1/1/10, the date of signing. If I open this form on 1/3/10, the date changes to 1/3/10... I guess as you would expect a Current Date field to do.
Is there a way to lock this field so that when the form is digitally signed, and saved, the date will no longer change to the current date when reopened, but remain the original date that it was last saved? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I might be too late, but how about adding a script to fill the signed date at presign event?
Be aware that presign works only with Acrobat 9.0 and up.
