Fillable PDF not keeping the currency setting.

asked on April 27, 2015

I have a PDF (see attached) where I have changed the property of a field in the PDF to Format as currency.  I saved the document and when I open the PDF and fill it out the number appears as currency (with comma and dollar sign).  In a LF workflow I reference this PDF make a copy of it, retrieve field values and populate the PDF.  The problem is the currency formatting is not being applied.  If I open the PDF and retype the number the formatting is applied.

I am attaching the editable and fillable original PDF and the PDF that was completed populated by workflow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts!

Thanks

Sandy

I also wanted to add on the form the field is a currency field but it also doesn't put in the comma and cents.

Unfortunately, field formatting is done with Java Script, and only available to Adobe applications. Workflow's PDF processing library does not have access to it. You can try formatting the token value as currency before you set it in the field.
