Acrobat Pro DC Number format

We have set the number format in a field to 2 decimal, with ' as seperator (Switzerland here)

 

However when typing a . is ignored and the , seems to be used as decimal seperator.

 

How do we set the . as character to type the decimal seperator?

That's bonkers. So they need to use a comma as the decimal separator, even though it's not a part of their Number pattern at all, and they can't use the period or apostrophe, which are?

2. Double click on the form field to open the text field properties > Go to Format Tab and select the seperator style as shown below and click OK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And try to fill the PDF form field with numbers and use comma , as the decimal seperator and press enter. (The comma will change automatically into . )  as shwon below:
