Form calculations not working?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 with some simple sum and product calculations. The fields calculate and populate correctly in Adobe Reader on my computer, but the calculations don't work at all on my iPad 1, Adobe Reader for iOS.
Has anyone else had this issue, and is there a fix?

"However, this is a feature we're considering for a future release." - This is so lame.
We have been waited and waited for Adobe Reader to be on Ipad and finally it is there, we have to again wait for JS and calculations on Acroforms feature to be in. Adobe is too slow on this. Many of us "the developers" out there would appreciate if Adobe can have the Reader for iOS and Android to support more features. I have move my Clients from dynamic LC forms to Acroform (and trying on whatever works) and now my Clients are beginning to doubt if Adobe is a serious player. Please buck up.

Share calculation Not working in the report

Iam surprised not to ge the simple share calculation not working at my report.
I have a dimension and corresponding values ( measures) .I made a Total at the end of the report. and I want to calcualte share of Total to each corresponding value.
how to do this, any thougts,...
I have used calculated memebers for this, But I wan to make the percentage of the total ( which is calculated inside Tool itself)
Please help....

Prassad,
Not totally sure what you are trying to achieve but there a couple of possible solutions:
1) Total = total of all dimension members. Assuming you only have three dimension members then you should have a fourth member called ALL_DIMS or something similar. In the Share calculation template you need to specify the Total level as the basis for your share calc. This will generate the following result:
                         Revenue % Share
- All Members     600         100%
     A                  100           17%
     B                  200           33%
     C                  300           50%2) The total you are referring to is in fact a sub total and is the result of adding together only the results for A + B + C, i.e. you have hundreds of dimension members but you specifically want to see a total for just these three members. To do this create a new custom aggregate call "My Total" and add together the dimension members A + B + C - Custom Aggs are a new feature to Discoverer OLAP (Checkout Mark Rittman's excellent blog article for more information on this feature: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2006/11/13/checking-out-the-new-discoverer-101220-features/)
Then in the Share calculation wizard set the basis for your index using the last option in the list "Specific Dimension Member" and select your new custom aggregate member.
Hope this helps

Form is not working of multiple form check boxs, source posted. HELP.

Form is not working of multiple form check boxs, source posted. HELP.
I'm trying to have golive form be able to check one, two or all of the options in Graphics field.
As is it will only post results from the last checked box.
Here's the page
http://www.perfection-press.com/Pages/ContactForm.html
Here's where source in golive has scanning,design,filesupplied.
[code removed to fix forum topic display]

Since the checkboxes all have the same name, the values are over-writing each other when being passed to the PHP script. The best way to fix that is to add a pair of empty square [] brackets after the checkbox names, so make the names "graphics[]" instead of "graphics". That tells PHP that the values are being passed as a list (an array) instead of a single value. As long as your processing script knows what to do from there (and it does), should solve the problem.
By the way, I noticed that two of the checkboxes were named "graphics" and the other was "graphic" (singular). You'll want to fix that too so they're all the same.

My 'contact' form is not working. When I send a test contact it returns to my adobe email account this: "Contact Form" has a new form submission.

My 'contact' form is not working. When I send a test contact it returns to my adobe email account this:
"Contact Form" has a new form submission.

What exactly is not working ? As you have mentioned form submission notification is received in your email account so form process is working I believe but you want the notifications to go to another email account I think.
Have you added the email address in "Email to" field in form options ? If yes and then also you are not receiving the form , then please provide me the site url and post a screenshot or form with option box open.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Forms Personalization not working after R12 upgrade

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to R12. We have forms personalizations on the People, Enter and Maintain form and this is not working now after the R12 upgrade.
I went to one of the form personalizations and Validated and Applied again but it still did not work. I also created a new one but had no success with that either.
Any ideas how to get this working again ? Is there something extra that needs to be done for R12?
Thanks
Regards,
Shalantha

Pl indicate which version of R12 and on what form you had the personalization in the previous version. Have you checked FND_FORM_CUSTOM_% tables to ensure that the personalization survived the upgrade ?
Pl see if these MOS Docs can help

Form does not work

Hi
I use Adobe Livecycle Designer7.0 English and Acrobat7.0.8 Japanese. I made forms to upload to Workflow Server. One form I made does not work at all when the form is opened in the Form Manager.
It is strange that the PDF preview of the Designer works well.
1. Page Counter
In the master page of the form I set a page counter field from the custom library. In the preview it works well but when the form is opened from Form Manager it does not work. It looks like "Page ##/##".
2. Font is not shown
I put a button in the form. The font of the button is set to "MS UI Gothic", but when the form is opened from Form Manager the font of the button is "KozukaMincho".
3. JavaScript does not work
I wrote javascript to change the caption of fields like this.
----- form1.#subform[0].Button1::click - (Javascript, client)
FieldA.rawValue = "test";
FieldB.rawValue = "test2";
This script does not work too when the form is opened.
These issues are basic but I do not know where is wrong. Because no error message appears when I test the form in the PC.
Please advise about these issues.
Thanks,
Akira

Hi Jared,<br /><br />I am very glad to read your reply. <br />I added a button with the script you wrote in previous reply and found that Form Manager changed the root tag. <br /><br />The xsd file I define to the data is like this<br /><br />b <Message> //rootnode name <br /><br /> <Heade></Header><br /> <Contents><br /> <FieldA></FieldA><br /> ......<br /> </Contents><br /> <Footer><Footer><br /></Message><br /><br />So, I set the structure of the form like this.<br /><br />b <Message> //This is name of contents area<br /><br /> <Header></Header> //Subform name<br /> <Contents> //Subform name<br /> <FieldA></FieldA><br /> ......<br /> </Contents><br /> <Footer></Footer> // Subform name<br /></Message> <br /><br />But the saveXML script write out like this:<br /><br />b <fields><br /><br /> <Header></Header><br /> <Contents><br /> <FieldA></FieldA><br /> ......<br /> </Contents><br /> <Footer></Footer><br /></fields> <br /><br />So I changed all of the Javascript using relative path and I upload this form again to the FM, but this form does not work...<br />I am not sure that it must be the same name between the rootnode of the xsd file and the name of the contents area. <br /><br />Jared and all, would you let me know whatever you find about this issues.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Akira

HTML 5 Contact Form "Placeholder" instead of label makes form validation not work

Hi,
I am trying to implement a HTML 5 contact form which uses a "placeholder" within the field instead of a label. But now the form validation does not work.
The site is at http://www.partnerrealestate.ch/avenuedefrance23/index.html and it is not using any workflows from BC as the person receiving it is an external person and the process does not require a workflow.
Would appreciate any input into this.
Kindest Regards,
corina

There is no label on input fields. The form does not work because you have edited the names. BC needs the ID and names to be as it is issue when you create the form so it knows what to use for the validation and what information to pass into the database.
So where you have edited these, you need to restore those.
You have some invalid html on some input's as well one has input="" inside of it when rendered so that is not right.
It is not to do with placeholder use. So fix up your HTML errors, correct the name and ID changes and it will work fine.

Calculations not working in Reader Enabled PDF Form

I created a basic Excel spreadsheet and imported it into Acrobat 11 to make a fillable form. Acrobat inserted most of the fields but I had to add some to complete the form. I went into the properties of the fields and set up the calculations using the standard Acrobat calculations. I want the product of field1, field2. When I preview the form, the calculations work. I then close the form for editing and save as reader extended PDF with more tools. When I open the pdf in reader the calculations do not work. I then researched many possibilities on the forums and even called adobe twice with no resolution. I was able to import a blank excel spreadsheet, then created three new fields with calculations and they worked in reader when I saved the form as a reader extended pdf with more tools. So my question is where does my problem originate? Is the problem with the excel spreadsheet or excel formatting ( Excel 2013)? Is the problem with Acrobat 11? When I asked the support tech at Adobe he said that he hasn't heard of this problem before. I have spent hours and hours on this, I have created new forms from scratch and even on different versions of word and acrobat. I figured these calculations should work, am I wrong? ( I have also tried using every calculation option including JavaScript). Thanks in advance for any help.

It's hard to say without seeing a sample. If you can post one somewhere, I'd be happy to test it out. If you can't post somewhere, you can email me at: acroscript at gmail dot com

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!

Calculations on fillable forms sometimes not working

I have a fillable form for a Deposit Slip. The user enters data about each deposit including the amount and type. The problem is, if the user of the form randomly clicks on fields to enter data instead of using the Tab to move sequentially from one field to the next; this seems to cause the total fields at the bottom of the form to not correctly sum the data on the form.
Is there a way to deal with this? A way to calculate or re-calculate the form at the end of entry or possibly force the user to Tab through the entire form before the totals appear?

Empty or null fields are assumed to be character strings and not number strings.
The "+" operator in JavaScript is both the addition operative and the concatenation operative. If there is any string value, the computation with the "+" operator becomes a concatenation of strings.
If you are using JavaScript you have to force the empty values to the number format using the "Number" constrictor, the "+" prefix or multipling the field by 1.
event.value = Number(this.getField("Text1").value) + (+this.getField("Text2").value) + (1 * this.getField("Text3").value);
The first 2 options for calculations have the above or a similar process to force null strings to zero or to ignore text values.

Simple calculations not working in acrobat 9

I have text form fields made in Acrobat 9 from a previously made pdf, where I need a simple calculation, but I cannot get it to work.
The form is not for submission, only for personal tracking, so I don't even need validation.
FieldA (a number they enter) x a number I have entered in the calculation = FieldB
FieldB x FieldC (a number they enter) = FieldD In FieldB I have a simple javascript Calculation in the form field: FieldA * .115, which should automatically calculate answer into FieldB, when tabbed.
In FieldD I have a Calculation in the form field: FieldB * FieldC, which should automatically calculate answer into FieldD. All fields are set as numbers.
I have left the Trigger Action as Mouse Up.
I don't need to validate, as this is personal use, and is not being submitted.
I have all fields in the correct tab order.
I have reader enabled the form. When I open the form in Reader, I can enter the numbers, but no calculations are being performed. It reads 0 in FieldB and FieldD. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone,
I use the following VBS code, but to tell the truth, I don't know if it works or not. The main idea was to enable commenting from Adobe Reader. But after execution code, saving document and reopening it in Reader, commenting is still 'Not Allowed'. Is showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab really capable to allow this and there is only error in my code? Or is the functionality different and this way can never be used for what I want?
There is another issue that application is not closed on Exit, but is still shown.
scriptPath = "C:\Acrobat\"
Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
sampleFilePath = scriptPath & "AR_test_orig.pdf"
pdDoc.Open sampleFilePath
pdDoc.OpenAVDoc "myFile"
gApp.Show
Set formApp = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")
'formApp.Fields.ExecuteThisJavascript "app.alert(""hello"");"
formApp.Fields.ExecuteThisJavascript "Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true;"
Set formApp = Nothing
pdDoc.Save 1, scriptPath & "AR_test.pdf"
'pdDoc.Close
gApp.CloseAllDocs
gApp.Exit
Set pdDoc = Nothing
Set gApp = Nothing
Thanks for any ideas.
Jan
PS: I use Acrobat 9.0 Pro

Calculations not working in browser window.

I have a .PDF form with several points of of user data input, with other fields in the form doing the math for the user. My issue is that when the user downloads the form, it usually automatically downloads in a browser window and while they can view it and tab through it, none of the calculations are performed. The only way I can have users use it the way intended is to ask them to open it Reader...or use Acrobat. Is there a setting or something that would help it perform correctly in the browser window? Thanks very muchad Here's the copy http://www.villageweaver.com/warp_calc_worksheet.pdf

It works in a browser for me. Do the users who this is not working for have Reader or Acrobat instead of Preview? If they have Reader or Acrobat do they have javascript enabled within Reader/Acrobat?

Formula calculation not work, when one inspection characteristic was set by formula

In the inspection plan, set 0040 charac. "calc. charac." in control indicators, and the formula is "15.86/C0020*100".
when the inspection lot was created, the 0040 charac. could be edit, and the formula title "formula calculation not by SAP interpreter".
However by the same basic data in QAS system，the formula title is "formula calculation by SAP interpreter", and the charac. couldnot be edit, only be claculated by the system.
Anybody know why this error occurred?
this is the question in PRD system,
this is the right situation in QAS system

Hi Pei,
Please can you check the characteristic value using C00020 (C0 then 2 zeros before 20. Total 3 zeros before 20) instead of C0020 and check if this is working.
You can take some clues form the below thread -

Insert in Tabular form does not work after the upgrade to APEX 4.0

Hi all,
Thx in advance for looking into the issue.
We are running into following issue when we upgraded APEX 3.2 to APEX 4.02
1) The Tabular form insert does not work.
2) We are fatching the value of the Global variable APEX_APPLICATION.g_XXXX in a procedure and we get null for this value after submit for new row to be inserted.
The tabular form was working fine in APEX 3.2.
The Update and Delete works just fine.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thx and regards,
Mahesh

Here is my workaround to get the ADDROW/SUBMIT working again if you have a legacy Tabular Form:
1     PAGE ATTRIBUTES
          JAVASCRIPT
          FUNCTION AND GLOBAL VARIABLE DECLARATION
               var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
2     DELETE BUTTON
          ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED
          URL Target          change to
               javascript:apex.confirm(htmldb_delete_message,'MULTI_ROW_DELETE');
3     ADDROW BUTTON
          ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED
          Action
               redirect to URL
          URL Target
               javascript:addRow();
4     PROCESS
          APPLYMRU (activitated by button ADDROW)
          CONDITION
               never or delete
5     PROCESS
          ADDROWS
          CONDITION
               never or delete
6     CHANGE PAGE TEMPLATE to e.g. THEME 13 One Level Tabs.
7     IF YOU WANT ADD FUNCTIONALITY TO GOTO BOTTOM OF PAGE AFTER ADDROW
     1. In the page footer put <a name="bottom_of_page"></a>
     2. Amend the action when the "ADD" button is clicked to scroll down to the new region by doing the following:
     - edit "ADD" button
     - Go to "Action when button Clicked" section
     - Amend "URL Target" from
     javascript:addRow();
     to
     javascript:addRow();window.location='#bottom_of_page' ;
