Error when I have to sign a document with a date

  • When I have to sign a document, I get stuck on the date column. It tells me to fill in the correct format according to the example that comes up. But no matter how I write the date, the program says it's wrong, so now I can't proceed with the signing. What could I have done wrong?

A digitally signed document is necessarily dated, so the Date field is redundant.

Check the date settings of your computer. Are they "localized" or do they follow the American standard? For testing, try to set that to what the Acrobat file expects.

 

Is that on all documents or only for a specific document?

 

What is your exact version on Acrobat?

Not sure if I follow you...

It isn''t a form someone made that I'm trying  to fill. I''m trying to prepare a document that can be signed by someone else, using the fields Adobe is giving me...
