    Hello bennytan,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. It is possible to change the date format on the PDF editor by clicking on the field's cogwheel icon. Let's do it:

    1. In PDF Editor, click on the date of birth field.
    2. Click the cogwheel icon.
    3. On the Format dropdown, change it to your preferred date format.

    Hi bennytan,

    You can try to use this {DATE:MM/DD/YYYY} date format in the text element when you customize the PDF document of your form

    The final result would be like this.
