Java date calculation

[marksmanaz]

I have a fillable form I created with Acrobat pro with java script to calculate dates in the headers of columns I have setup. In acrobat and Acrobat reader the java calculates the dates correctly. In Xhange viewer if an input date is from the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 9th, or 11th month it jumps to the next month. The date format is "m/d" and is inputted into the field with the red line and all other headers are update from that date.

Example java code:

var strStart = this.getField("Date1").value;
if(strStart.length)
{
var myDate = util.scand("m,d",strStart);
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var dueMillis = myDate.getTime() + 13 * oneDay;
var dueDate = new Date(dueMillis);
event.value = util.printd("m/d",dueDate);
}
else
event.value = "";


Any reason Xchange does not process these months?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello marksmanaz,

The months you have quoted are exactly the ones with less than 31 days in them, but the file you have provided is working correctly on my machine.

Could you please check which is the build of our Viewer you are using there?
The build number can be seen in Help -> About
And the latest current build is 2.0.55

Best,
Stefan

Stefan I tried it over here and I get the same results as marksmanaz. I am using version 2.0.56 with Windows XP sp3. When I set begin date to 6/15, the dates in the columns change to 7/15.

I have changed the short date format in Windows to 09/21/10. Don't know if that would affect it.

Stefan,
I am using 2.54 and have just updated to 2.56 and still get the same result. My OS is Windows 7 64bit. I will test on XP machine when I have a chance.

Stefan,
Do you think it may have to do with the regional settings on our computers? Are you in Canada? Arnold are you in the U.S.?

Yes I am in the US.

Hi Mark and Arnold,

It is possible that it has something to do with the regional settings, as I am using XP as Arnold so it does not seem like a Win7 vs WinXP issue.

Will ask the dev guys to have a look at this.

Best,

Hi Mark and Arnold,

The dev guys told me that they will investigate and try to fix this problem for version 2.5 of our Viewer.

Stefan

Thank you,
were they able to reproduce this behavior on their machines?
