Hi I would like to show the day of the week with date picker but when I choose custom date format to get the day of the week it works fine on PC but on mobile devices it come up as a number?

I have tried several custom formats to no avail

ddd, mmm dd, yyyy

dddd, mmm dd, yyyy

dddd, dd, mmm, yyyy

But on mobile devices it shows 007, Apr 07 2024 instead of Sun, Apr 07 2024

Formatting, and other interactive form features are poorly supported on mobile and browser based PDF viewers. 

There's nothing you can do about it.

Hi @StarDrilling,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

Reader Mobile uses the global format for representing dates. There are minimal options when it comes to modifying details on mobile.

 

On desktop, it uses JavaScript for displaying the modifications, which isn't available on mobile.

 

Please feel free to write us here: https://adobe.ly/3V5sA4I to ensure it reaches the dev team directly for review and future changes.
