Can't add date in a "fill and sign" W-9 document. How do I do this? [2019]

You can create a transparent PNG file of the date, and then import it as a custom "Stamp".

Here's the workaround - Go into Tools>Organize Pages, select all, and extract. You can edit the extracted pages in the regular fashion.

Open the file in Illustrator if you have it. Replace Helvetica with Nibus sans if you need to. Convert all text to outlines. Save PDF. Open PDF in Acrobat, should be able to fill out the entire W9

Thank you so much for explaining how to input a date on the W9 form.in Adobe 👍

You can easily add a date by going to the comment tab on the right, and once youre there it will let you add a text field where the date is.

I found another workaround that works if you already have two signatures saved:

• Create an image with the date, save as .jpg or .png
• Create a custom stamp with the image
• Use stamp in the date field

Agreed. this is a mess of a solution. I used to be able to do this with Adobe Acrobat, but now it won't let me add text to the date. Please fix with your next update. Adobe Pro is not cheap. These are features your users are paying for.

I just used "save as" and saved on the desktop as a PDF. That got rid of all the formatting. Then, I used the text and signature for the document. Hope this helps. I spent hours trying to figure out something. 

Great question and answers. The flaw in the IRS document has been driving me crazy.
