1. Re: How do I set blank data to date field in pdf form ?
Steve Werner Mar 11, 2013 4:05 AM (in response to PV-Next)Reader on any platform is for reading PDFs, filling in forms and annotating PDFs. It is not for editing PDFs or PDF forms. Go back to your form on your PC in Acrobat and edit it there.

PV-Next Mar 11, 2013 5:17 AM (in response to Steve Werner)I understand the above.
I filled a incorrect data in the date field of pdf form by Reader
so, I wanted to fill a blank data in the field by Reader.
I could fill in a date value , but could not fill in a blank data by BS key.
How can I fill in a blank date data the date field ?

DarrellDykstra Mar 13, 2013 9:13 AM (in response to PV-Next)You're right: once you've entered a date, its not possible to clear the date field via the Mobile Reader.
I've logged this internally to be fixed in a future release.
As for a workaround, the options at this time are not fantastic: 1. open in Desktop Reader, clear, save, re-open in Mobile Reader, 2. re-open the original form with its un-filled date field.

I have to explain the above to my customer.
1. When would you like to fix this bug ?
2. Are you a Adobe's staff ?
IF so, please tell me your department.
Best regards,

koderiter May 22, 2013 9:33 PM (in response to PV-Next)Here is how to clear the Date field on the Ipad.
NOTE: In order for this to work that has to be another TEXT field in the PDF to get the keyboard to pop-up.
- Click on Text field (this is to get the regular keyboard on screen)
- Click on Date field (date spinner control will show up)
- Click on SAME DATE field (spinner control will disapper)
- Click on "Reset Field" on top of keyboard (date field will now be empty)
- Click any where on PDF that is not another Date field (keyboard will disappear and date field will be empty)
Bingo! your free and clear.

DarrellDykstra May 22, 2013 9:51 PM (in response to Pat Wibbeler)koderiter's approach does work, though it is difficult to discover. The upcoming fix for this permits the user to tap the "Reset Field" button without having to dimiss the Date Picker first.
