Publisher PDF Export Date Format

[AlanM75]

Hi, 

When I export a job to PDF, the date/time stamp in the top right corner is in US mm/dd/yy format. Can't immediately see if this can be changed anywhere to UK dd/mm/yy format. Any ideas?

TIA

I believe this is taken from OS system preferences and that affects what is available to Publisher. I could be wrong though.

View menu> Studio > Fields

Gives a document information panel. Scroll down, and under General information there is Date & Time, with a button on the side where you can change to UK English, and also adjust the date and time formats.

Dates are ordered differently in US and UK English, so worth a try.

Tried this but doesn't make a difference, the pdf date/time stamp is still mm/dd/yy.

Thanks for your reply by the system is set to London, UK BST so it's not that.

Hi AlanM04,

Welcome to the forums

Could you please open Preferences>General and check if you have English (US) or English (UK) set here?

I am in the Netherlands using an English system on my Mac Pro late 2013 (Mojave). Exporting a PDF from Publisher gives the right date (dd/mm/yyy).
