P. Story +Dated: 2016/05/06 + +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. + +Unpack the distribution by latexing datepicker-pro.ins. + +Enjoy. + +D. P.
