Topic: Auto-insert of date upon opening PDF file

I was trying to find the tread where Nicholas gave the following code:

if (this.getField('date_field').value =="") {

//if the field already has a value for some reason, we do not want to insert today's date

util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss", new Date());
}

in order to fill in a field with the current system date. I used the script but I get an error message that says that my date_field (in my case, the field is called Datum) has no properties. Whether I insert the script in the field, on as an event on the document/open, the date field does not get filled.

Anyone can tell me what I may possibly be doing wrong?
Thx in advance!
