Date field format

Question

Hello,My PDF file is prepared with acrobat and contains form fields. Some are just readable, some are required and date fields formated with french format (dd/mm/yyyy). When the file is processed by adobe sign,  fields date format are ignored. Adobe Sign allways require mm/dd/yy format ! In attachement, file sampple with date formated fields...I can't believe that it is a bug, but i can't understand that Adobe Sign does not recognize Adode format form fields ? So how to custom format fields in Adobe Sign ?Thanks

Hi Acinace84,

Apologies for the delay in response.

To ensure the date format in Adobe Sign follows the dd/mm/yyy format you can also choose to include an Adobe Sign Text tag in the original Acrobat file. A text tag allows for you to customize and standardize Adobe Sign fields. The tags can be used in PDF's (like in Acrobat) or in other file types like Word, Excel etc. You can find the different text tags in this link.

In order to set the date format as dd/mm/yyy simply include the text tag for this (found below) in Acrobat:

:isdate(format=dd/mm/yy)

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Marian Abshir
