simple calendar calculation in JavaScript

There are a number of date and time calculations built into LiveCycle scripting. You need the XFA Object Reference and the FormCalc reference. You'll find them here:

Get these document and also try searching the forum for "Date Calculations".

Here's an article that explains date calculations using Core JavaScript functions. Which will work just fine in LiveCycle, although the article uses AcroForm examples.

The working days calculator sample PDF does not seem to work in LCD 8.2 either. Is this to do with the difference between LCD and AcroForms?

Hi R_Boyd,

Back in 2006 when that article was published there was an area of AUC called JavaScript Corner, but it no longer exists. A new area was set up titled Learning Center and all previous JavaScript Corner articles were reposted there with new links. Here is a link for that particular tutorial-
http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/date_time_part1

If you see links to tutorials in posts older than 2008 there is a decent chance they'll be broken so you'll have to search the Learning Center using words from the old link name in the Search tool there.

That series on Date and Time was based on AcroForms only, but as pointed out in the post above it is mostly Core JS which is used in both PDF forms technologies.

What Working Days Calculator are you referring to? We have one at www.pdfscripting.com but I don't think I've seen one here at AUC.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
