Hello All,
Would someone please be so kind as to set me up with a javascript for a Acrobat Form text field that increases a number increment by one every time the form is accessed. I would be eternally grateful as this has consumed most of my day!

... of course, you don't have to have the field hidden ... that's just my use.

I do not think it is that simple.
What about users with Reader? Is the PDF on a network and being accessed by multiple users or will it be on a web site?
You will either have to use a global object and create a subscription or connect your form to a database for assigning the serial number.

The PDF form will be used as an e-form template in our document management system. The number is the Customer Maintenance Agreement Number (CMA#).You will either have to use a global object and create a subscription or connect your form to a database for assigning the serial number.

Currently the form is accessed through a proprietary format that utilizes it's own database to generate the number through a simple excel formula. For my purposes I need to have a pdf form template in order for the e-form to capture the necessary data to index the document into the system. Since we are moving forward I only have a need to start at a specific number and add one every time a new CMA is created though the e-form. Because this is a new procedure I would like for it to be a seamless and changeless as possible. This is the only obstacle I have encountered since I have little to no Java experience. Is this more helpful?
var a = this.getField("myHiddenField");
a.value = a.value + 1;
I'd be interested in a better solution too.
