P. Story +Dated: 2018-07-02 + +One of the (many) deficiencies of Adobe Acrobat Reader/Adobe Acrobat is that +they have never supported a proper date picker. This package now supplies +one. The \datepicker command creates a readonly text field and a push button +to its right. Pressing on the pushbutton brings forth a SWF file displaying a +calendar. The user then chooses a date from the calendar, the the date is +transferred to the text field. + +This is a "pro" application, which, in the jargon of AeB, means that Adobe +Distiller is required as the PDF creator. The only drivers supported, as a +result, are dvips and dvipsone. + +As with all such special features, to experience the datepicker, Adobe Reader +or Acrobat are needed. Most other PDF readers do not support form field, rich +media annotations, and JavaScript. + +What's New (2018/07/02) Fixed a problem when the month data contain glyphs +beyond Basic Latin. Specify this using unicode, eg, M\u00E4rz (German for +March). + +Enjoy. + +D. P. Story +www.acrotex.net +dpstory@uakron.edu +dpstory@acrotex.net + + |
