I have a text field that I need users to enter a specific number format in. The field format must look like A99999. The first character must be upper case character. I will appreciate for detail explanation how to do it in Acrobar DC?

You will need to write a custom Format keystroke or validation script.

Hi try67. Thanks for replay.

I have code in validation script:

event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();

It works. But when I specified format entered data like: A99999 I lost upper case. How to have forth upper case first character and format enterd data?

Thanks.

The question is do you want to prevent the user from entering text that doesn't follow this pattern, or do you want to let them enter anything, but reject it if it's incorrect. For the former you would need a Keystroke script. For the latter a Validation script will do.
