I need the month names in my date field to be in French as the remainder of the form has been translated from English to French. Any suggestions?

Bonjour

 

Placez ce script en "Script de format personnalisé" (exemple ci-joint) :

var d = util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy", event.value); //récupère la date saisie
if (d == null) { // si la date n'est pas valide ou ne correspond pas au format dd/mm/yyy
app.alert("Merci de saisir une date au format JJ/MM/AAAA");
event.rc = false;
}
else {event.value = util.printd("date(fr){D MMMM YYYY}", d, true)}

Hi,

You can keep your UI language and type:

event.value=util.printd("date(fr){DD MMMM YYYY}",new Date(),true);

Whith this script yes, but you can adapt it like that (for example):

event.value=util.printd("date(fr){DD MMMM YYYY}",util.scand("dd mmmm yyyy", this.getField("date").valueAsString),true);

from English UI language:

or from Spanish UI language:

Ce format de date a aussi l'avantage de ne pas mettre de majuscule au nom des mois, ce qui ne se fait pas en Français, mais qu'Acrobat fait quand même par défaut.

Bonjour, je sais que ça fait un bout que cette discussion est terminée, mais j'ai besoin d'indiquer la date du jour en français, au long (ex: 2 février 2025) dans un formulaire Adobe Acrobat Pro. J'ai essayé d'inscrire « event.value=util.printd("date(fr){DD MMMM YYYY}",util.scand("dd mmmm yyyy", this.getField("date").valueAsString),true); » dans l'onglet Calcul du champ texte, dans la case Script personnalisé, mais ça ne fonctionne pas. Comment puis-je créer ce champ?

"Use Adobe Acrobat with french UI."

Bernd Alheitunfortunately, the French version of Acrobat does not correctly respect the French date format.
This is a “bug” I've been reporting for over 20 years, but apparently the development team doesn't care.

Les noms des jours et des mois s'affichent obligatoirement dans la langue utilisée par le logiciel.

 

Pour changer la langue utilisée par Acrobat Pro ou Standard,  voir :
