Acrobat Date Form Field

New Here ,

I have multiple date fields to be inserted into a UK based form. The format in UK is DD/MM/YYYY which is not available in the drop down menu. If you make a custom date format to match this, the date picker returns an error when picking a date.

The error is this: 

Invalid date/time: please ensure that the date/time exists. Field [ Date of Birth ] should match format dd mm yyyy

 Is there a way to get the picker to work in UK format?

Did you set the Comb option for the field? If so, to how many characters?

It seems like you've set the field to a combo of less characters than is needed for this format (don't forget to include the spaces!).

Not sure what error you are referring to. The custom format I’ve specified in the screen shot is dd(space)mm(space)yyyy which is the UK format and would give you all numbers as required (eg. 19 04 2021. Using three (mmm) would give you 19 Feb 2021 which is not what the form requires but seemsto be the only format from the pulldown menu that comes close.

Ah, yes. Thanks so much. Had set that to 8 characters instead of 10 characters to include the spaces. Now it works!
