I would like a mask for a date that has spaces between the "dd" and "mm" and "yyyy"

I am creating a PDF form and I have the date showing as "01    01    2011" I would like it to show  "0   1    0   1       2   0   1   1"

Custom format script: AFDate_FormatEx("dd      mm      yyyy");

Custom keystroke script: AFDate_FormatEx("dd/mm/yyyy");

easy way, impossible?

John

It's really easy with an "Arbitrary mask": PDF form field properties, Adobe Acrobat

C'est plus simple avec un "Masque arbitraire" : Adobe Acrobat Professional * Onglet Format des propriétés de champ de formulaire

Yes. I missed that point.

I'm sorry.

You can open the field's properties, select the Format tab, select the Date format, scroll to the bottom of the choices, and enter for the custom mask 'dd mm yyyy".

that really was not my question as that mask (dd mm yyyy)  I already have as I stated in my question and title, what 'I' need is dd mm yyyy WITH spacing in between ie; d  d      m   m      y   y   y   y

You would need to write your own custom Format script to do it.
