Re: PDF Javascript

forgive me if I am not understanding what exactly you want,

but if all you need is a date inside the pdf why not do something like this

use PDF::API2;
use strict;

my $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
my $page = $pdf->page;
my $fontType = qq(Helvetica);
my %font = (
Helvetica => {
Bold => $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Bold', -encoding => 'latin1'),
Roman => $pdf->
corefont('Helvetica', -encoding => 'latin1'),
Italic => $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Oblique', -encoding => 'latin1'),
},
);

my $datestring = tdate();

newText($fontType, 'Bold', 14/pt, 'black', 7/mm, 270/mm, $datestring );

sub newText{

my $flashVars = $page->text;
$flashVars->font( $font{$_[0]}{$_[1]}, $_[2]
);
$flashVars->fillcolor( $_[3] );
$flashVars->translate( $_[4], $_[5] );
$flashVars->text( $_[6] );
}

sub tdate {
@_ = localtime(shift || time);
return(sprintf("%02d:%02d %02d/%02d/%04d", @_[2,1], $_[4]+1, $_[3], $_[5]+1900));
}

I don't remember Javascript being mentioned inside PDF. But you can look yourself at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html
