Acrobat 7.0 interactive calculations

I have an order form that calculates the product of the quantity and the cost of an item.  At the bottom of the pdf, I have a total box that adds (sum) of all the products of each of the lines above it.  The problem is that it does not add the last calculation (product) into the sum.  Is there anything I can do to correct this?  I am using the standard calculation from the "text field properties"

I'm trying to convert the calculations on my document to java script.  Is there anyone one who can do this for me.  I can email the document.  It is only 1 page

    what is the lowest version of acrobat that supports interactive PDFs

    As noted one can go back to PDF level version 1.2 but the forms need to be created with Acrobat and any JavaScript has to avoid using any features added with version 4 or above.

  • Acrobat X Pro interactive Map/Dropdown fields

    I create a variety of .pdfs for different purposes which are all related to the same parent (in this case a building on a site).
    I now want to create an interactive map so that I can click the building (button, graphic shape or image etc) and be presented a collapsable list so that I can then select (from a list) the .pdf I am interested in (discipline specific) and open it in a new acrobat window. Each .pdf name in the dropdown list is to represent a separate .pdf file from the same or different network storage location (I am aware the file name(s)/location(s) must not change).
    I have investigated Acrobat X Pro, Adobe Illustrator CS4 and Adobe InDesign CS4. I have decided to target Acrobat as Illustrator did not seem to allow linking and InDesign did not seem to allow List Boxes or Dropdowns for linking purposes. Also, I only wanted to create/manage one file (my interactive map)...my 'menu'...in graphical form...without going down the path of creating a web site.
    Am I on the right track? Is this possible?
    However, after adding the Dropdown field to my form (interactive pdf map), although it allowed any of the available list items to be selected, it DID NOT allow different actions for different list items!
    I added two separate Open file actions (which could not be linked to the two separate list items)...one to open a pdf ffrom one location and the other to open a separate pdf from another location. When you click the field (button)...it just opens BOTH pdf files! Not what I wanted.
    I would have thought that the very nature of a Dropdown list is to be able to select from a collapsable list and perform a specific action on that selection (after all, it does allow multiple similar actions, along with multiple different actions).
    Can THIS be done?...in Acrobat?...in another Creative Suite application?

    Thanks, but...I could not find a `combo box' field, and I have to ask why would I have to write custom code when the `dropdown' field is provided?
    Why can't a different action be linked to a different list choice in a dropdown field?
    If I want to perform a single action, then I would use a `single' button, but that's not what I want to do.

  • Adobe acrobat x pro - interactive forms allow reader to save

    Hi there,
    I have created interactive forms using adobe acrobat x pro and I need to save these forms on a shared drive and allow 100 odd users to be able to edit and save the information using adobe reader.
    Can anyone help me?
    How do I allow a user using reader to save a filled in copy of the document?

    Thanks

  • Updated Acrobat and now Javascript calculations not working in new forms.

    I had created forms for my work that allowed me to calculate back dates from a given date to instruct the form users when components of a project were due. Below is the script I used- I am NOT a programmer and this was taken from another forum. It has worked successfully for 2 years in both Acrobat 9 & 10 and in various forms I have made.
    var strStart = this.getField("0VendorArtApproved-2wk").value;
    if(strStart.length)
      var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
      var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
      var dueMillis = dateStart.getTime() - 21 * oneDay;
      var dueDate = new Date(dueMillis);
      event.value = util.printd("mmm d, yyyy",dueDate);
    else
      event.value = "NA";
    "0VendorArtApproved-2wk" is the field the previous date was taken from- this and the amount of days "- 21" changes from field to field. This form has 3 levels that it calulates dates from- which starts with a single initial date entered into a text box by the user. This allowed the user to see when different elements of a project were due. Sorry if this seems basic to all the Javascript masters but I am really very clueless on prgramming speak and only know what I have read from forums.
    The last version of the form that worked successfully was in Oct 13', I went to create a new form and copied these formula boxes to a new form and now half of them do no work.
    I have rechecked my formulas and formatting and cannot find and issue. They are exactly the same. One works and one does not. The only thing I can see different from the 2 forms is that I am certain there were 1 or 2 updates to the Acrobat software itself that could possibly have caused an issue.
    So I have 2 documents- 1 created in October 13' that works and one created today Jan 14' that does not work. They have the same formulas.
    Anyone aware of changes to Acrobat or errors in my formula that could have caused this? I am in version 10.1.9

    Applied this fix. There was an error in the NEW document. I redid the formulas in the NEW document and that did not work. Still had the same problem. 
    SO I went back and redid the formulas in the fields in the OLD document to the revision I needed and that worked. All I was trying to do was tweak the number of days between one element and the next in this area and there were a bunch of other revisions to the form so I figured it was easier to start fresh.  I will just make all the revisions to the OLD document- which will be a lot of work, but at least my formulas are working. Not an ideal fix but something must have been glitchy in the new document and I now have a workable form.
    I believe some kind of odd interaction happened when I copy and pasted the fields from document to another.
    Thank you so much for your help! I am days away from maternity leave so I had to get this figured out fast!

  • Reader-enabled form from Acrobat is retaining interactive form fields when user saves the form

    This is an issue that has only recently come up. In the past it was not a problem to take a pdf, add interactive form fields to it in LiveCycle, then open the form in Acrobat and enable usage rights for Reader users.
    This allowed Reader users to fill out the form and save the results. With the most recent versions of Acrobat and Reader the user saves the form and the data AND the interactive form fields are saved in the resulting file - meaning that the data is still there to be changed. Clearly not what we want and not what Acrobat and Reader were doing previously.
    The form does properly display "You can save data typed in this form" when opened in Reader.
    I have got no response to this issue in the LiveCycle forum, and nothing shows up in a search. I would very much like to fix this, as it is affecting our entire library of pdf forms.

    In most instances the form is linked on the website, so the original form will cannot be overwritten.
    In some cases we have to supply an interactive pdf for a department that they will then distribute by email to various groups who are expected to fill the form out on submit on an ongoing basis. That is what I was meaning by the user filling out the form, printing it, and then being prompted to save changes.
    The bigger issue is that most of our users expect to take a form hosted on the website, fill it out, and then save a pdf copy of their responses for reference. The reference copy is retaining the interactive fields rather than printing as a static pdf.
    If I could force the action of printing as a pdf (rather than saving as a pdf) on submission I think that would solve the issue. The script for most of the forms in the library is xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); and I am not aware of a way to force the print to only be to the pdf print driver.

  • Muse/Acrobat question about interactive PDFs linked to in Muse...

    So I made a link to email, gave it a blue rollover state, exported this in an interactive PDF which I then have a link to in Muse. When you click on it, it opens in a new window/tab, w/ this weird gray color behind it. Any ideas how I can remove this? See link below for a visual:

    Thanks!

    When a PDF is opened in a browser, it can either use Acrobat/Reader, or something else such as the default PDF viewers in Chrome and Firefox. If it is being opened in one of these non-Adobe PDF viewers, be prepared for behavior that's different than it is in Acrobat/Reader, especially with interactive elements. The one in Chrome is better than the one in Firefox.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI - Timesheet Calculation

    I have created a job tracker log and need a Javascript that can calculate text5-start; text6-stop and text7-total.  Any help I can get will greatly appreciated.  I could use either a Custom calculation script or Simplified field notation.  This is working in a 24hour schedule.
    Thank you

    If you want to cover 24 full hours in a day, then you will have a fair amount of coding to do. The supplied "Time" format for a text field starts at midnight, 12:00:00.000am or 00:00:00.000, and goes to just before midnight for the start of the next day, 11:59:59.999pm or 23:59:59.999. If you want to go form midnight to midnight then you will need to add scripting for the necessary formatting and validation.
    Also the util.scand method does not do military time very well.

  • Acrobat X Pro Forms calculations

    I'm trying to create a spreadsheet-like form for keeping track of volunteer hours for about 9 people - I want them to input their hours in five or six categories, with columns to the right, a row a the bottom that shows sums. 31 rows that add down, 6 columns that add across two ways.  When I try to click on fields in the calculate sum pick check boxes, only one, maybe two fields can be picked (select all and deselect all both work), either to select or deselect.  Is anyone having this problem and found a solution to it?

    Yes, I'm using decimal hours (glad to hear that was the right choice).  So if I'm understanding your answer correctly, I need to click a box, wait for Acrobat to recalculate, then click the next box?   Ouch.
    Six columns of 31 rows each to add, plus 31 rows to add across, two different ways, would take a long time to set up, if I can't just click down the list of fields in the Pick box. And I can't.0
    Thank you for your time!  I've put some hours of frustration into this already, and I should probably stop, lol, and find a different solution.

  • Interactive calculating in a Adobe Form

    Hello,
    I would like to calculate the amount of some fields. But these values don´t exist in Back-End and the user should type them after creating the Form in some Fields if it. Now I´m trying to create a Script with JavaScript which calculates the sum of these values, before printing or saving this form.
    I tried to use the Change-Event, but this wasn´t successful.  Has anybody some ideas, how i can solve this issue? Operations like zelle2s.rawValue = xfa.event.fullText don´t work proberly.
    Best regards
    Benjamin

    Hey,
    thanks for your answers. I use the calculate script with this code:
    this.rawValue = Number(zelle21.rawValue) + Number(zelle22.rawValue);
    But this doesn´t work properly. The special feature of the calculation is that the numbers are entered by the user. So after generating the form the user enters the values​​, then this values should be summed. So I do not know whether the event is correct
    But in the exit event, I'll already have a total charge for another field, by example:
    zelle56.rawValue = parseFloat(zelle26.rawValue)  + parseFloat(zelle36.rawValue);
    I thought this event could still charge you an additional sum. But this can only seem to enter one script.
    Have you any ideas that might help?
    Best Regards
    Benjamin

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro and Livecycle

    Hello,
    just recentlty purchased my Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit (especially my interactive calculations), which I created in LIvecycle on Windows.
    Unfortunately, I always just got the error message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
    Unfortunately I am not using Windows any more, so was wondering, if there is any other way to edit my documents ?
    Thanks a lot, Marc

    No. You can only edit LC forms in LiveCycle, and it is not available on a
    Mac. Also, even on Windows it's no longer bundled with Acrobat. You have to
    purchase it separately (or request a download link if you had a previous
    license).
    I would suggest converting your files to "standard" Acrobat forms, if
    possible.

  • Samsung SCX-4521F scanner failure into Acrobat 9.1.3

    I have the above mentioned all-in-one, latest scan drivers loaded from Samsung.  Windows XP SP3 fully up to date.  Acrobat recognizes the WIA driver (must invoke Custom Scan since does not allow presets), allows option changes, but when Scan button is pushed it fails with msg "Error while interacting with the scanner: the selected scanner was not found".  The msg doesn't make much sense, since Acrobat has already interacted with the scanner, but there it is.
    I'm an experienced pc IT type, have gone thru the usual reload drivers, etc., with no luck.  All other applications can scan directly from the WIA Twain32 driver, including Adobe Photoshop CS4, but not Acrobat.  I have searched knowledge base, Googled, etc., no info.
    Richard Southworth

    Bill, I believe you need to read my other posts, Adobe Acrobat from the built-in administrator account is the only app that won't scan successfully.  And in XP there are now two ways to scan, Twain and WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition), both fail.
    So here's the final workaround, in case anybody else has this issue and needs a "fix".  I have two accounts on my Windows XP SP3 system, the built-in Administrator account (my normal working logon) and a second user account, call it X, that also has administrative privileges (belongs to the administrators group).  I have a shortcut on my desktop in the Administrator account for Acrobat - I right click on it and choose Run as from the pop-up menu.  I then select the X account and enter its password, and Acrobat appears.  Scan to pdf now works properly for both of my scanners; when finished I have to be careful where I save the pdf, since the Desktop and My Documents are for the X user and don't show up automatically since I'm logged into the system as Administrator.  Not a big deal, easy enough to put the final pdf somewhere convenient to locate.
    So there you have it, Adobe for some obscure reason has inhibited scan to pdf while in the built-in Administrator account, at least in my system and for two different scanner brands (Epson and Samsung).  I don't believe it is a permissions issue; I have examined all involved files and registry entries for such and have found no obvious problems.  I have uninstalled and installed both Acrobat and the scanner driver for all combinations of the two users, again with always the same result.

  • Buttons created in InDesign don't display properly in Acrobat DC

    I am having issues with how buttons created in InDesign CC (2014) and exported to interactive PDF display in Acrobat DC. These buttons use transparent layers and effects such as drop shadow. The buttons displayed great in Acrobat XI.
    Acrobat XI:
    Acrobat DC:
    The buttons used a transparent white layer to simulate glare. As you can see, it comes out black in DC! The drop shadow has added white coloring knocking the buttons out from the background instead of blending nicely. I can avoid using these styling methods in future projects, but this project has used these buttons for several years, and now several years worth of PDFs won't display correctly for anyone who updates to DC!

    I am also having problems.  Upgraded to Acrobat DC.  I use a Mac (latest software)
    When I export from InDesign CC to Acrobat DC the interactive elements - especially buttons - go cranky.  I get a strange smudgy kind of drop shadow but in a variety of colours behind the arrows, buttons etc.  All very strange.  It gets worse if I apply a drop shadow and bevel and emboss to the button (even a home made button rather than one of the sample buttons).
    I'm currently working away from home and so can't try any other computer.
    Strange.

  • B2b deployment of app must go through App Store?

    We’ve got a client for which we’ve developed a reasonably sophisticated interactive calculation tool in Flash/AS3. The client is now asking if we can reformat the tool for use on mobile devices. If we wait for the upcoming CS5 my understanding is that we can publish a native app for the iPhone but it will have to be distributed through Apple’s App store. Have I got this right? This is a specialized tool and would only be useful to my client’s distributors (about 5000 end users), it seems silly to have to distribute this type of app through a public delivery system geared more toward retail sales.
    Currently we’re recommending to our client that we re-write the entire app in php and use simple HTML for the front end. This would be a major re-write and would force us to maintain two separate versions of the tool because of a kiosk version that must run standalone without server support. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

    I don't think there is a way to determine the source of deployment. 
    Suggestion would be to turn off features that you would not like to be present when deployed through store and test that as a beta app to make sure it is working as expected and then submit that app to the store. 
    More information about beta testing an app can be found in the following link.

  • How do I subtract two fields in a form?

    I am working on an expense form and I have everything working except one thing.
    We have to subtract any over payments from previous expense reports on the current expense report. I am looking at the calculate tab of the Text Field Properties.  But I do not see a way to subtract my two fields.
    I then setup a field that contains a negative one, except when I display the field on the form, the negative one is a positive one.  I did enter -1 as the default value to my "subtraction" field.  I was then going to multiple negative 1 against the the over payment amount so I could get a negative over payment amount.  I was then going to add the negative over payment amount to the total due and arrive at a net due,  But this does not work.
    Here is the calculation I am trying to do:
    Total Expenses     (calculated field from all of the preceding fields.)
    Deductible Expense       (user entered)
    Net Expense check          (Total Expense - Deductible expense).
    Can anyone tell me how to do this?
    thanks,
    Dennis

    With Acrobat there are 3 calculations options.
    "The field is the ____ of the following fields:" options are for sum, product, average, min, and max operations or for actions that could be repeated over multiple fields. One does not usually subtract or divide multiple fields in on action.
    "Simplified field notation" uses only field names and values. Field names must start with an alphabetic character and should not have any spaces or special characters. Cannot perform conditional control statements or functions. Special characters or spaces can be in field names if the JavaScript escape character precedes the special character or space. The 4 arithmetic operations can be performed.
    "Custom JavaScript calculation" has no restrictions on field names, control statements, functions or mathematical operations. One needs to access the field object and the value property of the field object.
