I want to add JS to a PDF file that I have created.

The script needs to due the following.


User selects a date in cell 1 aka 18 Jan 15

JS will then add a value to cell 2 based on the date from cell 1 minus 16 days.

Can someone write the script for me? Please? I have no idea how to do this.


Thanks!

I never knew JS could be used in a PDF until just now. Have fun with this!

See my response in GD..  Bad idea, not going to run on most systems anyway as it's going to be disabled by default by most users.

JS is a massive security hole in the abomination that is Adobe Reader.

i agree with this.  sounds like js in a pdf is a really bad idea.  if you go with a .html based solution, i (and i'm sure many others here) will be able to help.

I gave up on this. Thanks for the help to everyone though.
