I seem to be missing quite  few field types.  Based on Q&A in the forum, I must have made teh mistake of selecting a signable form upon my initial start.  However I cannot find the navigation described in the Q&A to go to More tools in tight pane and select the Revert to Acrobat Form tool.

I am limited to the following tool list

Although I inserted a date field, it does NOT offer a date picker tool, which I wanted to use.

I also have several fields which need to be limited to numeric only, and do NOT have a number type field to select.

Can someone offer some guidance.  I am running Acrobat Pro DC on a windows 7 OS.

Thanks for any assistance you might offer.

Look on the dropdown menu in the fields panel on the right side of Acrobat. The top entry is "Revert to Acrobat Form"

You're screen shot shows Acrobat to be in "PDF Edit" mode. You need to put it into "Prepare Form" mode.
