Re: [PDF] Pop-Up Javascript in Reader 4.x/5.x

Two things to check:

1. According to the JavaScript 1.5 Core Specification (accessible via 
the developer section of the Netscape website), the getFullYear(), 
the getUTCDate() and the getUTCMonth() methods were introduced with 
JavaScript 1.3.

Acrobat 4 (and 3) use the Core of JavaScript 1.2, and therefore don't 
know anything about those three methods. This is why your script 
fails in Acrobat 4. You might either create your own getFullYear() 
method, based on the methods used with JavaScript 1.2 and earlier, or 
in general use only methods from JavaScript 1.2 and earlier.

Hope, this can help.

Hi, anyone know how I could get this to work in Reader 4.x and 5.x? 
It works in 5.x.  But can't get it to work in 4.x.  I think it's 
because 4.x uses Acrobat-specific javascript?  And this is "regular 
js"?  As you can tell, I don't have a clue :-)

Trying to get a message to pop up on open until a certain date. 
Appreciate any help.

==========================================
var expireDate = "20031030";
var nowDate = new Date();
var day = nowDate.getUTCDate();
var month = nowDate.getUTCMonth();
var year = nowDate.getFullYear();
var month = month + 1;
  if (month < 10)
  {
  month = "0" + month;
  }
  if (day < 10)
  {
  day = "0" + day;
  }
var GMTdate = year + "" + month + "" + day

if ((GMTdate < expireDate))
{
popme = app.alert("TYPE MESSAGE HERE");
}
