Automatically set date and time in PDF file

Good Day to all

I use LiveCycle to create a PDF template so my users can fill up reports with out printing, the problem is the "time/date" field changes every time the supervisor open the file, so there is no way to track the date the report was created.

I'm looking for a way (any trick) to make the automatically set but only when I save the document instead when I open it, I hope I'm explaining myself.

Or maybe I just need to use another software, if you can recomend me one, or a trial just to be sure is the one I need.

Any help would be great!!!...

Thanks!!!

You probably might have placed the code to populate the Data/ time value on the initialize event. Before you assign the current system date, check if the field has a value already. If it has then do not assign a new value.
