1. Re: Is it possible to create a script that would convert 1/1/2013 (m/d/yy) to 01/01/2013 (mm/dd/yyyy)?
try67 Jun 20, 2013 12:11 PM (in response to lmphil)Just set the format string of the field to "mm/dd/yyyy" and it will happen
by itself.

lmphil Jun 25, 2013 6:54 AM (in response to try67)Thanks for your help! The format string is "mm/dd/yyyy". If the date is not entered just like that, an alert appears that the date is not in the correct format. (No validation) What am I missing? Please advise...

try67 Jun 25, 2013 6:59 AM (in response to lmphil)I don't follow... Even if the format string is set to "mm/dd/yyyy" the field will accept something like "6/1/2012" and will display it as "06/01/2012".

lmphil Jun 25, 2013 11:02 AM (in response to try67)Thanks for your response! I'm not exactly sure why this isn't working... The format string is "mm/dd/yyyy" with no validation, just format... When I enter a date as "5/1/2013", an alert appears "Invalid date/time: please ensure that the date/time exists. Field [xxxxxxxxxx] should match format mm/dd/yyyy". If I enter the date as "05/01/2013", no alert appears. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

lmphil Jun 25, 2013 2:09 PM (in response to try67)Thanks for your input. I'm not really sure why this format is working differently for me, but will continue to investigate.
Thank again!

weezie1070 Jun 26, 2013 11:33 AM (in response to lmphil)I also have the same issue and it doesn't seem that Adobe will convert a date format if the user enters it incorrectly. In my case, I would like the date set to European date format, but some users may use the US format, but like with Word forms I would like Adobe to convert to EU format automatically without the user having to retype. Will Adobe do this?

try67 Jun 26, 2013 12:16 PM (in response to weezie1070)No. You'll need to write your own format script to achieve that.
