How do I add a negative to a calculation in Acrobat 10 Pro?

How do I add a negative to a calculation in Acrobat 10 Pro?
I am using Acrobat 10 Pro in Windows 7.
I have a form with columns of numbers (Millions, Thousands, hundreds) that I concatenate and then perform simple calculations on (addition, subtraction, division, etc).
I have a new section of the form that has a column for a negative sign. The calculation is simple addition but it is possible for the numbers to be negative as symbolized by the minus sign in the negative column:
Line 23 adds lines 20 + 21 + 22 and displays the sum. If any of lines 20-22 have the minus sign in the Neg column, I need the calculation to see that and add the negative number, essentially subtracting it.
NOTE: the neg column is so formatted that the only possible entries are null and "-"
So, I see two ways to go, one is a script for each line that looks at the neg column and if the "-" is present, makes the entry a negative number. I have not had much luck with this.
The other path is to do this all in the calculation in line 23. I have fiddled around with some "if" statements but no joy yet.
NOTE: If it makes it easier, I could change the column input to a drop-down box with "-" or null as the options if that makes it easier to call out somehow.
any thoughts out there?
Steve

You can use a custom JavaScirpt calculation or the simplified field nation calculation, if your field names follow the required convention, with the "-" operator.
If you are using the "The field is the ____ of the following fields:", you need to create a hidden field with a default value of "-1", a second hidden field that calculated the product of the "-1" field and the field you want to subtract. You can then use that second hidden field in the calculation.

    Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

    RED footage has a restriction on metadata.  We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

  • How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat Pro XI?

    We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
    If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud?  Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
    I don't work with Adobe forms, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

    LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

  • How do colleagues add comments and review .psd files in Acrobat?

    i work in Photoshop, would like to be able to collaborate with assistants and clients online - like, i believe, Adobe Live used to do...
    thx,
    c.

    Hi Bonus Studio,
    If you'd like folks to comment on your files in Acrobat, you'll need to first save your .psd files as PDFs. Then, your assistants and clients can open the PDFs in either Adobe Reader or Acrobat and use the commenting tools to add their comments.
    Best,

  • How do I add a Message Box if calculations don't match?

    I am developing a form where the user inputs an amount on field Amt, then distributes that amount into up to six "funds" fields (Budget1, Budget2, Budget3...), which determine where the money will come from. I created a screen-only verification field (AmtVerif) that allows the user to see if the divided funds add up to the total shown on Amt.
    I want AmtVerif to:
    1. add up the amounts on fields Budget 1-6 (which I managed to do using FormCalc)
    2. match the total with the entered value on Amt
    3. pop-up an error message that says "You went over the total", or "Please verify the allocation of funds" in case totals don't match.
    I tried using "if" expressions with FormCalc in the Validate and Exit Events, and although they seem to be correct, they do not show the error message. What am I doing wrong? Please help!
    Debora

    Hi Raghu,
    Thank you for responding!  I just re-created my fields in the same form you attached, so now you can see exactly what I did.
    The last field (AmtVerify) contains the calculation piece, but now I need to match that total with the amount on the first field, and enable the error messages in case it goes above or below the original amount.
    Debora.

  • How do I add a computer to network with my MacBook Pro?

    I'm having difficulty getting my new MacBook Pro to recognize my PC on my home network in order to print.  The MacBook Pro is not accepting the software for the hp printer.  The message window states "...can't open the hp-all-in-one installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    You need to go to the HP website and download the current installer. That one you are using is about six years old.
    Can you connect the printer directly to the Mac? If so, you should be able to have it find the correct drivers by adding the printer in the Print & Scan system prefs.
