Adobe Reader XI - How do i stop numbers being rounded up on forms

Hi,
I am using the Adobe Reader XI, with regards to filing in figures on forms that I use. The form keeps on rounding up numbers. For example if I type in 2.5 and go to the next box on the form, the figure will immediately change to 3. It is extremely frustrating and in my line of work the figures have to be exact. Please can anyone help and advise if there is anything I can do or settings that I can change to be able to keep numbers on the form with decimal points showing without them being rounded up.
Thanks

To emphasise: this happens only if the designer of the form decides to not allow any decimal places.

  • Adobe Reader 11  - How do I stop the "To help protect your security" in IE8

    I am trying to find a way to automatically open PDF from links inside IE8 without having to allow the download for each PDF.  If I add a site to Trusted Zone this does not pose an issue, this is however not a viable option as we have 17000 PCs and who knows how many websites that use PDFs.  What option do I have to change so all PDFs will open from IE8 without first allowing the blocked download? 

    Pat you are correct as I am able to Enable Automatic prompting for file download in the Internet security Zone of IE and then this will automatically prompt for the file download.  I am trying to determine if there is a way to have all PDFs open automatically without lowering security for all downloads.  On my personal device a PDF from a site will open in browser without either of these prompts.  I do have IE9 on my PC however the other PCs are still stuck on IE8.  In my troubleshooting I did notice that the Active X for Adobe PDF Reader is listed under the Run without Permission, but is not in the All add-ons section.  This just seemed odd to me.      

  • How do I stop Numbers from rounding results of a quotient?

    I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet that will automatically calculate what each of my housemates owes me for utilites. Currently, I have it set so that I can enter in one to three different bills and it will add them up, and it is set to divide the total by 7 to give what each person owes. Currently, I am trying to divide $37.59 by 7, but it is rounding each answer to $5.00, which is incorrect. I have all of the cells set to currency, and each at 2 decimal places. My exact quotient cell is as follows:
    =QUOTIENT(C14,7)
    Any help on how I can get it to display the exact monetary value after the division would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    QUOTIENT works with integers (or the integer part of a decimal numbers, so what you're seeing it the result of this arithmetic exercise (without the remainder):
    The remainder is provided by the MOD (short for modul0) function.
    Jerry is correct in describing the result you want as the "precise" answer rather than the "exact" answer. While both are the same for your example, the example is a special case.
    Had you spent only a penny more (or a penny less) there would be no "exact" answer to the question "amount" divided by seven. There would be a correct answer, precise to the nearest hundredth of a dollar.

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
    A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
    If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
    In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
    In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
    Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

  • Website pdf won't open with Preview - requires Adobe Reader. How do I force iMac to use Adobe for this particular website?

    I need to access a tax form from my state's tax website. The site will not allow Mac Preview to open any pdfs on the site. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader downloaded on my iMac which is using Mac OS X 10.6.8  The state's support guide says to make certain my internet browser (Safari) is set to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader. How do I do this? Thanks in advance for helping.

    I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

  • Conflict between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and how I fixed it

    For the past 5 years, I have owned Adobe Acrobat version 9, and recently installed Adobe Reader as well (version 10.7). I was previously able to set up Firefox to use Acrobat to display PDF files in the browser without downloading them, but I recently noticed that this was no longer the case. Instead, every PDF file I tried to view was being downloaded instead. I came here to find a solution, and discovered that many other people are having similar problems. I followed the instructions given here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them), but found that they were actually UNhelpful. They tell you to turn off the Firefox PDF viewer by editing about:config to disable the file pdfs.js, which is the native Firefox PDF viewer-- but that will cause the PDF file type to disappear from the Tools/Options dialog, so you can't assign it to another program (whether Adobe or anything else). This makes it impossible to assign the Adobe plugin to open PDF files. I did figure out a solution on my own, and wanted to post it here to help other users with the same problem.
    I ultimately learned, through trial and error and a lot of research both here and on Adobe's website, that the root cause of my problem was a conflict in Firefox between Acrobat and Reader. I was able to solve it by upgrading Acrobat, getting rid of Reader and enabling the Firefox PDF viewer so that I could assign the PDF file type to the Acrobat plugin within Firefox. Here are the details of my problem and how I solved it:
    1. Acrobat and Reader conflict with each other in Firefox, but this isn't totally Firefox's fault. It's mostly Adobe's fault, and they pretty much admit it. Specifically, they say that Acrobat and Reader can't coexist on the same machine unless both are version 10 or higher. They tell you to upgrade to solve the problem--but I can't afford to pay for a new version of Acrobat. If you have to keep Acrobat 9.x, Adobe says the lowest version of Reader that will work with it is Reader 11. I couldn't upgrade to this because I have Vista, and Adobe hasn't issued Reader 11 for Vista (and doesn't plan to). I did cheat and download the Win 7 version of Reader 11, but it didn't help.
    2. If you have both Acrobat and Reader, you can choose a setting in Reader to make it the default PDF handler--but Firefox ignores this information and defaults to Acrobat no matter what. (This is the part we can blame Firefox for.) If you have a version of Acrobat which is below 9.5.5, Firefox actually blocks it as a security risk, so the plugin won't work at all, regardless of version number. That's why PDFs are being downloaded through your standalone program instead of being displayed in the browser. If you want to view PDFs in Firefox and keep Acrobat on your computer, you MUST upgrade Acrobat to version 9.5.5 or above.
    3. Unless you can upgrade Acrobat to at least 10.x, GET RID OF READER. As long as you can access Acrobat 9.5.5, it will work fine in Firefox and there's no need for Reader. I never used to have Reader myself, only Acrobat, but it must have been downloaded automatically when Acrobat was blocked by Firefox (which I didn't even realize).
    4. IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE ACROBAT 9.X TO 9.5.5, YOUR LAST CHANCE IS TODAY--6/26/13. Adobe has announced that today is the "end of life" for the Acrobat 9.x platform, and all support and upgrades will cease after today.
    When I searched for updates by going to Adobe's website, it told me there were none available--but when I checked for them FROM THE ACROBAT PROGRAM ITSELF (Help/Check for updates), I was offered a 300 MB upgrade that took me all the way from version 9.0 to 9.5.5 in one step. (It did take a very long time to download and install.)
    5. Once you have Acrobat 9.5.5, this is how to enable it in Firefox:
    a. INSIDE ACROBAT, set your preference for "Internet" to "view PDF files in browser." Close Acrobat. Close Firefox if it's already open.
    b. Reopen Firefox. Check Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins to make sure the Acrobat plugin is there. Enable it if disabled. Close Firefox.
    If the plugin isn't there at all, repair your Acrobat installation through Control Panel. Then return to Firefox and enable it. Close Firefox.
    c. Reopen Firefox again. Go to Tools/Options and check the list of file types. For the names that contain "Adobe" and "Acrobat," Acrobat should be set as the default program to open them. Select it from the drop-down list if it's not. Continue to scroll through the alphabetical list--you should see another entry called Portable Document Format. If it's there, the default will be "preview in Firefox." You should be able to change this to "Acrobat (in Firefox)" using the drop-down menu. Do NOT pick the option that says "Acrobat"--this is the standalone program and will cause your PDFs to be downloaded.
    If you don't see "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as an option, this means your plugin is not working. Go back and fix it using the instructions above (including repair of Acrobat if necessary).
    d. If you don't see a file type for "Portable Document Format" at all, that means the Firefox PDF viewer is disabled. You must enable it by editing the about:config file. To see it, type about:config in the Firefox address bar. You will get a warning message--just click OK and keep going.
    This file is a long list of statements in alphabetical order. LOOK FOR A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "pdfjs.disabled" with a Boolean value of "true." Select this statement and right-click. A context menu will offer you choices including "Toggle." Select that one, which will change the Boolean value to "false." Exit about:config. Close Firefox.
    e. Now return to Tools/Options, scroll through the list of file types, and you should see "Portable Document Format." Select "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as in the instructions above. Close Firefox.
    f. The first time you try to open a PDF file in Firefox, you may get a dialog box which offers you choices of how to open the file. The first will be Acrobat, but DON'T CHOOSE THAT--it will cause your PDF to download. Instead, go to the choice that says "Open as application/pdf." You don't need to change the program that opens this file type, because your settings are already correct. Your PDF should open in the browser, with the full-featured Acrobat menu (including the option of editing or saving the file).
    I hope other users can benefit from the truly painful experience I had figuring all of this out. Good luck.

    Adobe Reader 10: I want to print a PDF ignoring the red characters.
    I am a school teacher.  I would like to print PDF answer key files (answers in red) without the answers for the students to work on.  How can I suppress the red characters during print and print only the black characters?

    I don't think this is possible with Adobe Reader.  You would need a program like Acrobat or Illustrator to hide these text portions.
    If this is a one-time task, you could use the 30 day trial of Acrobat: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.
