How Adobe gets DATE and its format?

hello,

 

i getting current (todays) date using below js in flds, , using below formcalc flds my_form,

 

js:

var currenttime = new date()

 

form calc:

$.rawvalue = num2date(date(), datefmt(mm/dd/yyyy))

but, dont have idea how adobe getting date? company first form, hence asking me how adobe gets date , format whether,

 

1) local ip/interner provider address's date, format?

 

2) or user pc/laptop's local settings date, format? if so, example, if germany user (laptop settings) has dd.mm.yyyy configured, if user comes on busines trip , if user opens form, how date looks user? per user laptop settings dd.mm.yyyy or local internat provider date format mm//dd//yyyy?

 

thank you

hi,

 

the date() function returns number of days since 01.01.1900 local date of current system (related system clock of os).

if travel germany don't update date/time settings, returns same date in in germany.

 

you can check behavior changing local date/time setting or timezones.
