The timer must be cleared using app.clearInterval() before closing the document. It includes examples of a continuous clock, stopwatch, count down timer, and controls for setting time values.

JavaScript Clock/Timer Demo

We can make clocks and timers in a PDF by combining the date object with a timer. Timers are created in Acrobat JavaScript with the app.setInterval() function. As arguments this function takes the length of the timing interval in milliseconds and some JavaScript code to execute. In this file, the timer code is in a Document Script named ClockCode. The Timer control buttons below set state variables used in the timer function to control the internal time calculations and the display. The timer must be cleared before the document is closed. This is done with the app.clearInterval() function in the WillClose Action. Continuous Clock:
