We are developing PDF Forms for a German (Swiss) audience number formats in Switzerland are 99'999.99 and dd.mm.yyyy.

How do we set the required format to the number and date fields?

That is why there is the "Custom" option available for the "Number" and "Date" format options. You may have to convert the field values for numbers to use the "." decimal point.

Using "Prepare form" in Acrobat, select the field and use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu for the field and select the "Properties" option. Then select the "Format" tab. For numbers select the "Number" format and select the desired decimal and thousand separator and the desired number of decimal places. For "Dates", select the "Date" option and go the bottom of the date format options and select "Custom". Now enter image of how you want the date to appear on the form.

Thanks!

There is not a single format matching German, let alone Swiss German numbers or dates there. At least no on my Acrobat Pro:

Dates: dd.mm.yyyy (that is days, months and years separated by dots '. ')

Numbers: 9'999,99 (that is: thousandths separates being ' decimals being dots '.')
