Formulas not working in Reader

I have a simple formula that I've created in Acrobat that adds a user's input in 3 cells and displays the result in yet a 4th cell. The formula is not working once I open the pdf in Reader. I've used "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" but that doesn't seem to make the formulas function in Reader. Any suggestions?

Is JavaScript and/or automatic calculations enabled for Reader? If so, can you post the document online somewhere (e.g., Acrobat.com) so we can check it out? If not, I'd be interested in looking at it if you're free to send it by email. My address is in my profile.

  • ExportAsFDF javascript method is not working with Reader 10.1.1

    Hi,
    I have pdf document in which I have applied all Extendend Reader Rights. And now when I am trying to exports alll annotation in fdf with Reader 10.1.1 then it is faling to export. However it is working fine with Reader 10.0.0. Looks like this is broken in later version of 10.0.0.
    Please let me know if any alternative solution is there to export all annotation in fdf file thru code.

  • Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working

        Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working, 

    Did you (or someone else) physically open the laptop case?
    If you did, then some cables might have gone loose inside.
    If you didn't, for the card reader, check if appropriate device drivers are installed in windows device manager.
    for the numeric keypad, first tap once on the NUM LOCK key and check.
    If this doesn't solve the problem, boot to "Safe mode", and check.

    I am unable to read the class 10 cards in my i5 quad core 15" MBP, as well. There are reported fixes, including resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) (see the details by following this link => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964)... but so far, nothing I have found/tried will work with the class 10 cards, regardless of the SD card's storage capacity.
    EDIT TO ADD: My cards are Sandisk Extreme class 10, 16GB SDHC cards. I don't have the Extreme Pro version of the card. My personal experience leads me to believe the issue is related to the SPEED of the card and NOT THE SIZE.

  • LC digital signature does not work in Reader

    I have added a signature field in a LC form with expectations that it would work in Reader.
    I can see the field but it does not work in Reader. I have opened the form in Acrobat and the signature field works.
    Any ideas on resolving this?

    Wasil,
    Thank you for the reply.
    As I do not have LC Server I used Acrobat Pro to save as reader extended which solved the issue.

  • Formula not working in Adobe FormsCentral

    I have a formula which I have embeded into my PDF Form using Adobe Acrobat. All is fine and dandy in Acrobat, but the formula does not work when it is imported and converted for FormsCentral, I have to manually calculate the formula into the field which completely throws a wrench into the automation process that I am trying to create. My job is to issue Certificates of Completion, the form I have created has fields where I can submit the name, address, and use a formula to calculate the overall GPA to see if the person qualifies.
    FormsCentral gives you the ability to export your collected responses into a spreadsheet for Excel. By submitting the address along with the name and qualifications, I am able to use this data to create and automate shipping labels for all qualified students using Excel and Word in an instant. Having to manually calculate this data can result in human error, such instances can occur if you're processing over a hundred certificates per quarter.
    My initial impress that I got from upgrading to the premium version of FormsCentral was that I would be able to collect the same data that I have setup in my PDF form using Acrobat, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Formulas are by far the most important feature to have in my opinion as they are used for automating a workflow and eliminating human error.

    OK, here's a custom calculation script you can use in the text field after you remove the export values from the dropdowns:
    // Custom calculation script for text field
    (function () {
        // Object to associate a letter grade to a numeric value
        var oGrades = {
            "A+": 4, "A": 4, "A-": 3.7,
            "B+": 3.3, "B": 3, "B-": 2.7,
            "C+": 2.3, "C": 2, "C-": 1.7,
            "D+": 1.3, "D": 1, "D-": 0.7,
            "F": 0
        // Get the field values from the dropdowns
        var v1 = getField("Crim_I_Grade").value;
        var v2 = getField("Crim_II_Grade").value;
        var v3 = getField("Sight_C_Grade").value;
        // Get the corresponding numeric values from the Grades object
        // Default to 0 if the letter grade isn't found in the object
        var v1a = oGrades[v1] || 0;
        var v2a = oGrades[v2] || 0;
        var v3a = oGrades[v3] || 0;
        // Calcualte and set this field's value, rounded to two decimals
        event.value = util.printf("%.2f", (v1a + v2a + v3a) / 3);
    This isn't necessarily the most efficient code, but I wanted to make it easy to follow. It rounds the result to two decimal places. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

  • Pages to Numbers formula not work

    I have a table prepared in Pages (on macbookpro), that i have cut and paste into Numbers using IOS iPhone. Formula will not work as the cells treat the numbers as text, and i need to type them all in manually (format will not work either as the cells revert to text).

    It will probably put it in the portal repository under the "new" provider. For example, if your page group that the navigation page is under is displayed as "My page group", under the "new" portlet provider you should see a "My Page Group" portlet folder.

  • Second part of formula not working

    Good morning
    I have this formula below

    {GfCnBio.GfCnBio_Title_1} + " " + {GfCnBio.GfCnBio_Last_Name}

    then {GfCnBio.GfCnBio_Title_1} + " & " + {GfCnSpSpBio.GfCnSpSpBio_Title_1} + " "+{GfCnBio.GfCnBio_Last_Name}
    This part of the formula in crystal reports is not working, the salutation just shows up as blank.  Does it have to do with a JOIN with teh tables.
    else IF ({GfCnBio.GfCnBio_Key_Indicator} = "O"  //Organizations
    AND IsNull({GfCnRelCt_1.GfCnRelCt_1_Title_1}) OR isNull({GfCnRelCt_1.GfCnRelCt_1_Last_Name}) )THEN

  • Formula not working in report

    In one of the report, there is a formula added as
    v_Hide:= If [v_ResourceSum]=0 And v_CTier="Not Alighned" and IsNull([v_LatestAnalystCycle]) then "Hide" Else "".
    Then this filter is added on the report to exclude when v_Hide="Hide"
    This formula is not working.
    Using BO 4.0

    Hi Pritesh,
    once the field V_HIDE got populated.
    Modify the internal table with the field value.
    You can use the below statement to filter the contents of the internal table.
    Delete <internal_table> where v_hide IS NOT INITIAL.

  • Multimedia not working in Reader 11

    I created PDF files with Acrobat Pro 9 which include both movies and Flash animations (which are opened through buttons using the "Multimedia Operation" in Acrobat 9).
    Those integrated animations and movies work perfectly if I open the PDF files with Reader 9 or 10 but NOT in Reader 11.
    I want to know why as customers who upgrade to Reader 11 are getting angry.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    In the Acrobat XI Family, users need to install the external Flash Player extension before audio/video or SWF content will play. If the user doesn't have it installed, they will be shown a document message bar prompting them to download it. Your version of Acrobat is immaterial - there's been no change in the implementation of Rich Media annotations in the ISO PDF standard between version 9 and 11, so if you upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro the files you created would be the same.
    Without an explanation of what "not working" means, there's nothing more to suggest.

  • 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

  • Preview PDF while loading not working in Reader 10

    Hi,
    a cool feature of Adobe Reader 9 was the "pdf preview while loading".
    If I opened a large PDF-Document in the webbrowser the first few pages have been displayed while the rest of the document was loaded in the background.
    This was very helpful because I was able to decide weather I would like continue loading or not.
    This feature does not work anymore with Adobe Reader 10 and Firefox.
    I have to wait until the blue progressbar is completed.
    On Internet explorer it works.
    Any tips ?
    Thank You,
    Andy.

  • Java script created in Adobe Acrobat not working in Reader

    Hello,
    This is my first post, so I hope I chose the correct path for it
    Let's get to the point:
    I created a java script in Adobe Acrobat according to your tutorial page:
    search.matchCase = false;
    search.wordMatching = "BooleanQuery";
    search.bookmarks = false;
    search.query("Mytxt","Folder","../My directory");
    which I found to be working as a let's call it a relative link, beacuse, after copying my file into another folder it would still work. But when I opened the same file in Adobe Reader I got a Console message:
    Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 10.0
    Acrobat SOAP 10.0
    GeneralError: Operation failed.
    Search.query:4:Link undefined:Mouse Up
    Folder does not exist
    As I mentioned before the same file does return the results of the search.query in this folder in Acrobat. Any ideas? Suggestions? What might be the problem?

    Thanks to your suggestion I started digging into the directories, so here's what's funny:
    Title Page - main folder
    Page 1 - sub folder
    Searched PDFs - sub sub folder
    I open the Title Page, then using a bookmark I open a new file in the same window: Page 1. There i have site links that allow me to perform search.query()
    And now to the funny part:
    In Acrobat:
    If I open the "Title Page" and from there go to Page 1 my directory has to be:
    ../Main Folder/Sub Folder/Sub Sub Folder
    to perform the required search
    However If I open the "Page 1" manually my directory for the same java script has to be:
    ../Sub Folder/Sub Sub Folder
    otherwise I get an error.
    Anyway
    Both don't seem to work in Reader....
