Dear Eugene,
I opened your document that you wanted me to duplicate your javascript format to implement an automatic current date when printed, and I could not find the page properties anywhere on the menu toolbar. Do you know where I can find that button using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional version?
 
Thanks,
Ginger Kreitl

The Page Properties has to be accessed from the navigation Panel. Right click the Page icon (this will display the page properties). Click the Action tab (you will see a function titled - Page Open, Run a Javascript. Click Edit. Copy the script (Ctrl + c) and paste it in the Page Properties of your document. Change the entry in the script (this.getField("myDate") to match the name of your date text field in your document. No formating is necessary for your date field other thn the General Properties. The current date is: (above the date field) has a default value for the title text field. You can lock the current date text field so it can't be edited by the user. You can also make the date field - Read Only.
