Mixing
text frame onclick event (add loginname and date)
currently messing around with Adobe Indesign. We would like to create an interactive PDF file (sort of a checklist, 2 person have to check several points regarding a drawing) and I want to realise a
text frame with javascript functionality (User opens the PDF file, mark all points as checked (normal check boxes) and at the end there is a text frame. If click on it it should overwrite the text with a combination of
the current date and the windows login name).
What I've got so far is:
alert($.getenv("USERNAME"));
which gives me the correct user name but I can't figure out the rest.
Thanks in advance for any help

You cannot do that in InDesign. Such features must be added later to the PDF.
