Creating forms in Adobe 9 Pro

Question

I just purchased Adobe 9 Pro. If I create a form in Adobe 9 Pro, will the person I am sending it to be able to fill it out if they only have Adobe Acrabat Reader?

Answer 1

You can cut paste form fields between forms and the calculations will copy over.
You could also write the calculations as a document level function that has the needed values pass as a parameter of the function and the function returns the result of the calculation. You can then insert a form that has these document level functions into another form and the functions will become document level functions of the new form and you can then delete inserted page(s) and retain the document level functions.
The document function could be:
function BSA(nHeight, nWeight) {
// compute the BSA index
nHeight = Number(nHeight);
nWeight = Number(nWeight);
return Math.sqrt( (nHeight * nWeight) / 3600 );
} // end BSA function
The calculation for the 'bas' field then could be:
event.value = BSA(this.getField("height").value, this.getField("weight").value);
