Extending Features without populating a field

I have a form built with LiveCycle Designer that has a JavaScript in the form:ready event...

// Set Referral Date to current date if null
if (this.rawValue == null)
this.rawValue = util.printd("mmm d, yyyy", new Date());

To make this form available to Acrobat Reader users, I need to use the Extend Features in Acrobat Reader function of Acrobat Pro. When I open the form in Pro, though, it populates the Referral Date field, so the form gets saved with a date in the field before.

How can I extend the features without causing the Referral Date field to be pre-populated with an invalid date in the version I send out to my users?

Just disable JavaScript in your preferences before enabling.
