Hi,

I am trying to add a clock field to a PDF.

It needs to be a continous clock in the format of HH:MM:SS.

I am having alot of trouble.

It is probably quite simple.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Damo.

Drag and drop the current date field which is under.Object Library > Custom > Current Date.

Select the field In the Binding change the Date Fomat to Time.If you want to change the pattern Object > Field > Pattern > Locale Select English(USA) and select what ever pattern you want.

Then modify the script of the same field as below.

$.rawValue = num2time(time(), "HH:MM:SS")  Language should be formcalc.

Thanks

Hi Vjay,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this only gives me a timestamp for when the Pdf is opened.

I need a continuous clock.

Thanks.
