special format vor formular

[Nimrod_189]

Hi everyone,

I want to create a form where a specific field should have a special number format. What's the best way to go about this?

I am looking for the following format: 99 999 9999

Hello, Nimrod_189

While you may be able to enforce the content to be formatted a certain way using Javascript, none of the UI options or PDF standard implementations that I know of can offer exactly what you are looking for.
In practice, you would likely want to configure the field with a "comb" value, and leave extra characters for the slots, to hint that the filler should put spaces in manually, like so:

Then filling might go like this:

Hi all,

For the visual aspect, you could think about adding a vertical "Line" (border width = 3 pt.) between the different groups of numbers.

Kind regards.
