How to set a field that automatically generates a unique 'code'/'ID'  for fillable PDF form?

May 25, 2012 9:33 AM

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a PDF fillable form with Acrobat X Pro.

 

Can Acrobat allow a function, so that it can automatically generate a 'number'/'code' which I could use as an 'identifier'?

 

eg.  A hidden field named:  'DOC ID' and provide 100001 when added to response file as it's submitted and '100002' to another file when it another is submitted/added onto the response file etc...

 

I am aware that Response files, if submitted correctly, could automatically generate numbers like 001, 002 etc...

 

But I'd like to see if I could create a field, that 'numbers' the document for me automatically and uniquely.

 

Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Winnie
