PDF-XChange Viewer Formatting Numbers

Post by benboylan »

Hi,

I am using PDF-XChange Viewer and I have an issue I was hoping you could help me with.

When I type numbers onto a PDF, PDF-XChange Viewer automatically formats them into a certain form. For example, if I am writing an account number for a bank like 000650000, it will format it to 650,000.

Do you know how I can turn this off? Thanks.

Hello benboylan,

Our Viewer will not automatically do this unless there is special code in the form that you are filling that controls this formatting.
If you could attach a sample file here we could check that and confirm.

Best,
Stefan

See the attachment. It is this document we were experiencing the problem with.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks Ben,

Are the fields you are referring to at the bottom of page 3 in the "Bank References" category?

These fields have special formatting rules on them, and both our Viewer and Adobe's reader respect those rules and space the characters in groups of 3 with comas between the groups.
(e.g. the Checking Account# and Savings Account# fields)

And while this might not be the desired result - this is what the form demands and our Viewer is behaving as it should in this case.

Best,
Stefan
