Does Adobe Reader Touch have autosum function?

Hi,
I have a work file that I use on both my laptop and Surface. The file contains editable fields that once data is entered, does autosum in the far column. When I use the file on my laptop, the autosum function works as it should. When editing the file through the Adobe Reader Touch app, the autosum function doesn't work.
Is this just an issue with the Touch app? Am I doing something wrong (other than having purchased something with the RT OS, ugh)?
Thanks in advance!!
Lauren

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) does not support JavaScript yet. Thus, auto calculations or field formatting will not work.
If your operating system is Windows 8/8.1 (Pro), not Windows RT, you can install and run Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI).
If your operating system is Windows RT, you may want to try Microsoft Reader (the built-in PDF viewer by Microsoft) to see if auto calculations work.

Does Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 support forms with auto calculation?

I'm using a preformatted form that contains auto calculations. When I use it on Adobe reader 11 on my laptop, it works. However, when I use the Adobe reader app for windows eight the auto calculations do not work. Is there anything I Can do?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

Does Adobe Reader have a "recognize text" tool?

Does Adobe Reader have a "recognize text" tool, or do I have to buy a version to get this feature? What is the least expensive version that offers this feature? My goal to have PDF version text documents that can be read by a text to speech application, like EZ PDF Reader.

Definitely not in Reader. I believe (though cannot personally confirm) that Acrobat Standard has it.
Bear in mind that you need good quality originals, well scanned, to get any kind of decent result. Computers are way worse at this than humans.
Bear in mind too that Recognise Text is only applicable to scanned documents NOT those made from Word or whatever. So if you are making the documents, it is rarely relevant.

Why can't I save a recently filled-in form (PDF) in Adobe Reader Touch app on Dell tablet?

I recently purchased a Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet and installed Adobe Reader Touch so that I could view, fill-in, save, and print PDFs. I do have the newest version (2.0), but whenever I try to save/save as after filling in a form, it won't let me. I can print the PDF....but cannot save it. I am aware (or think) that this function is a newer feature for this app....but cannot understand why it is not working for me. Can someone please explain why I am running into this issue? Should I be able to perform this task with the 2.0 version....or are these functions not available yet?
Thank you for any guidance!

How do I get the "auto portrait/landscape" option to show during printing in Adobe Reader Touch

When I print using Adobe Reader Touch, the "auto portrait/landscape" options does not show up. As a result, all pages in a document are printed in the same orientation even if they are not all of the same orientation in the file itself. I don't believe this is a printer issue because if I use Adobe Reader X (v. 10.1.6) on the same computer/printer, the auto option does show up and the documents print as desired. I use Windows 8. As the video quality of Adobe Reader X is extremely blurry in Windows 8, I would like to be able to use Adobe Reader Touch exclusively. How do I get the latter to give me the "auto portrait/landscape" option during printing?
Thank you,
Pelle

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

Macros not working in adobe reader touch???

I don't recognise the word "macro" as applied to PDF. What exactly does the file have? Embedded JavaScript?

How do I bookmark in Adobe reader touch?

How do I bookmark in adobe reader touch? I have the surface pro. When I swipe from the side I only have the search, share, start, devices and settings icons.

Adobe Reader Touch does not support adding new custom/personalized bookmarks to pages yet.
Currently, Adobe Reader Touch supports viewing pre-existing bookmarks that have been created by the author of a given PDF document. If a PDF document has bookmarks, Reader Touch shows the Bookmarks button on the right side of the top toolbar.
The users of Adobe Reader for iOS/Android have requested the capability of adding new custom/personalized bookmarks as well. We are planning to add the capability to a future release of Adobe Reader Touch. But we cannot commit to a specific date for the release at this point.

Surface 2 - Need Adobe Reader NOT Adobe Reader Touch

I have a Surface 2 and need regular Adobe Reader in order to use a forms program. When I try to download reader, I get a message that says I can't use the app and need to get the app from the Windows store. However, the app in the Windows store is only the Adobe Reader "Touch" and this does not work with my forms program.
Has anyone experienced this problem or know the solution?
Thanks

Actually I was pretty freaked out too but very fortunately, I have been
able to figure it out by going to the forms website directly as opposed to
accessing it through the realtor association hub. I was thinking I might
have had to upgrade and was not looking forward to that experience.
Thank you again for your help!

Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop. It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page! Made reading an ebook difficult.
I finally found the solution:
Under Edit select Preferences - General
Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming".

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?

Could you please share your test file?

PDF Forms on Adobe Reader Touch - missing content

Dear community
I created a set of PDF-forms for a survey which will be conducted using tablets (Win 8.1). First part of the form shows old data entries in text form fields, second part is for the actual filling of updated data. Adobe Reader (and any other application, no matter what system) don't have any problems showing the forms with all its content. Only in Adobe Reader Touch (and other "App"-versions of PDF readers) the form fields in which the old data is supposed to be, stay blank. Filling, however, works fine.
I really want to make use of the amenities of the Touch-version of the reader for the survey (simple, full screen, etc.), but for that I need the forms running of course. Any suggestions?
The forms were created with LibreOffice Base.

We are working constantly to enhance our Reader on this platform. Your feedback will help us prioritize this enhancement better. Thanks for taking the time to post to the forum.

Need Help ASAP. Deleting Underline in Adobe Reader Touch.

I don't understand why it won't let me delete the strikeout or underline in my Adobe Reader Touch. There is no clear option when I highlight it and write click and the "Ctrl-delete" option is not working either. I need to get rid of both of these. Did them by mistake....simple task but so frustrated that I have spent 30+ minutes trying to figure this out. Please help.
