pop up calendar

[davidp20382817]

Hello Adobe experts,

I am trying to add pop up calendar to my form - so when you click on the date field pop up calendar appears and you can choose the date from it.

Is there a javascript for it or should I browse over tools?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Simple use a form text field with date format.

[davidp20382817]

Only put the date format and it will generate pop up calendar? That easy?

As I was going through this question also stumbled upon this: PDF Form Validation|Advanced Acroform Toolset|PDF Calendar|PDF File Upload|Required Dropdown

Is it because Acrobat Dc is more advanced?

You just need to add a text field and double click on it to get the option window.

Choose date from the format tab:

Thank you Omar but I belive this will just set the date - but I want actual calendar to pop and users can select the date

[Omar.Fathy]

No, When user click to edit the date a small arrow will appear close to the field and when the user click it, a calendar pop up will appear to let the user choose from.

As noted you and your users must be up to date with Acrobat/Reader. If your users are not using Acrobat/Reader but a different PDF viewing program, this feature will not work and you should install one of the various scripts to pop=up a calendar using JavaScript.

Thank you for that.

What will happen if the other user will not have the most uo to date Adobe? Will they be able at least to write the date in there?

You mentioned script - is there a possibility to share?

Huge thanks in advance

It will work as a date field always has in older versions of Acrobat/Reader. The native calendar popup was introduced in early 2017 to Acrobat/Reader DC.

THank you George, is there a javascript for previosu vrsions?

[George_Johnson · Accepted solution]

There is no native popup calendar in previous versions. The best JavaScript/Form based calendar can be found here:

Formrouter is not a Adobe product. You can use Adobe Acrobat DC.

[davidp20382817]

Thank you Bernd I will try and if it works will mark that as correct answer.

Is there a difference between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Acrobat DC?

[Bernd Alheit]

DC is the version.

"Is there a difference between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Acrobat DC?"

"Acrobat DC" or "Acrobat Pro DC" is the old name, now the new name is "Acrobat Pro" or "Acrobat Reader" (without "DC").

Bear in mind that both you AND your end users must be up to date. It’s a recent new thing.
