Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Text Fields, spacing letters

Question

Besides using 'Comb of Characters' is there any other way that the letters entered into an Adobe Acrobat Text Field could be spaced out?

So instead of having a user's input as 'JOHN' for instance as they type it could appear as 'J O H N'.

The reason I do not want to use 'Comb of Characters' is that the text fields will not work for me when viewed on a mobile device.

Thanks for any help 😉

Yes, I just want to make it look like there's a space between each character. More for appearance than anything. I am not changing any values. I have come across a Javascript to split("").join("") but I have no idea how to write it for adobe acrobat or where to put the code block.

Go to the field's Properties and under the Format tab select Custom and paste the following code as the custom Format script:

if (event.value) event.value = event.value.split("").join(" ");

You can use a script for this. But doesn't assume that this will work on mobile devices.
