How do you lock a submittable form date?

help!

 

i'm @ wits end. need xfdfs preserve date form submitted, i'm having no luck. i'm using script:

 

var f = this.getfield("form_date");

f.value =

util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new

date ());

 

this script works on 1 submittable form our customers complete in browser, no matter when add other submittable forms (acrobat pdf 9 pro; not livecycle), doesn't work.

 

i've tried variations of script in form_date field , page open action, either freezes 1 date in form forever, or when xfdfs open open today's date.

 

my acroform pdfs password secured. can filled , submitted, not copied. can printed once filled, not pdf. each pdf has accompanying admin pdf , mmt file allows submitted xfdfs open filled pdf when in same folder xfdf. 

 

i'm not programmer - i've inherited these forms , learning go, advice can give me appreciated. i'm desperate solution possible.

 

thank much!

normally, code placed in location executes when form opened. can placed in document-level javascript (outside of function definition) or in initial page's page open event.

 

when receive xfdf , want populate blank form, should revised version not include bit of code date xfdf isn't overwritten script.
