Converting multiple text fields into date picker fields?

[birgerm12279367]

Is it possible, in an Acroform, to select a whole column of text fields and convert them all into date picker fields. I have a form with 12 pages converted from Excel. All form Fields has been detected by Acrobat, but my date fields are all set to text fields.

Not, not directly. Your options are:

- Delete all fields, except for the first one, set it as a Date field and then use the Create Multiple Copies command to generate new fields, which will have the same settings.

- Apply the desired Format setting using a script.

The latter is a bit more complicated, which is why I've developed this (paid-for) tools that makes it easier to use it: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Apply Format to Multiple Text Fields

Does your script work with Acrobat Pro DC?

Yes, it does.
