Hello Adobe Wizards!
I'm (BRAND) new to Javascript, and I've gleaned quite a bit from this forum. However, I'm still in the dark about lots.
Here's what I'm going for. I have a "submit" button at the bottom of a form with looots of editable fields. 2 very important fields are "Name" and "SID"- for the name and ID number of the client. I want the submit button to save the .pdf with the file name " 'Name', 'SID', TimeStamp" where TimeStamp is a automated timestamp created at the time the form is submitted.
It would also be helpful if I could have the "submit" button enter the same file name actually on the form, in a text field I have on the top of the first page. I have started that script but can only figure out how to include the SID field (see below). I'm swimming in code that I don't understand!! Someone- throw me a life jacket!

Here's my best crack at the script that includes the SID and TimeStamp in a text box at the top of my form.
// get the current date object
var oNow = new Date();
// get the milliseconds from the Epoch date
var fTime = oNow.getTime();
// trim to seconds
var fSeconds = fTime / 1000;
// truncate to seconds
var fTimeStamp = Math.floor(fSeconds)
// set the SID field to a variable
var fSID = this.getField('SID');
// populate the 'TimeStamp' field's value
this.getField('TimeStamp').value = fSID + fTimeStamp;
Thank you all!
