How do I use acrobat to calculate quantity/price as a form?

Hello, I am trying to find out how to complete a form in acrobat pro using fields to calculate quantity/prices, ending in the field "TOTAL". This form is designed in illustrator. Here is a picture of the form: http://db.tt/gJsLWngT Can anyone help me complete to process? If I am taking the wrong approach to this please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

You need to place text fields as your Quantity and Total columns, 2 in each
row.
For example, in the first row you can create: Quantity1 and Total1
Set up the quantity fields to accept only numbers (under Format).
The total fields should be set to be read-only, and under Calculate you can
use the Simple Field Notation to calculate their value.
In the case of Total1, you can use something like this (for the retail
price):
Quantity1 * 35
The value will be automatically updated whenever the value of Quantity1
changes.
For the last total field, use the first calculation option: Value is the
(sum) of... and then select all the other total fields from the list.
There are many more things that you can do...
The tutorials on this website contains a lot of information about forms in

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

Can I use Acrobat 11 & FormsCentral to keep info and forms only on my computer or is info kept on a

I'm planning to upgrade to Acrobat XI specifically for the webforms, data collection and payment options using FormsCentral. But I don't want details stored anywhere but on my computer or host server. So I have several questions before I make my decision.
1) Is there anyway to use the Forms Central Desktop app to save the forms templates to my hard drive, or do I just need to create my own with Acrobat?
2) Can I just have the responses and payment information sent directly to me and not saved on the FormsCentral server?
3) If not: Can I delete the responses and payment details from the FormsCentral server?
4) I need a way to use this information when my computer is not connected to the Internet, so it needs to be on my computer. I'm not always where I can get Internet access, and when I can, it often is a public WiFi access (I travel full time.)
5) I write ebooks and training courses. I will have some affiliates promoting my products. I would like to use this system to make it easy for them to make a sale that tells me which affiliate referred the buyer. Is there a way to use Acrobat forms and FormsCentral to do this without relying on the buyer to enter a code? I'm thinking, possibly, of a form they can add to their website that will take the information and send it to my account. I can't quite figure this out.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed response. I had one of those disconnect episodes that is one of my reasons for NOT wanting any of my data accessible only from a cloud service. I'm back on now. But lost almost a full day because of this.
RE: 1) Do you want to create web forms or PDF forms?
From reading the instructions for Acrobat X, I'm hoping to create a PDF form that I can put on the website, have people fill it out, then when they click "submit" it comes to me in an email. I don't know if the term "web forms" implies anything other than that (such as FormsCentral memebership), but since the instruction manual called them webforms with no mention of FormsCentral, it looks like I can do this much without getting involved with that service. I posted the instructions below so you know what I'm referring to (Acrobat X manual)
RE: 2) Do you want to collect data in a table-like format or do you want to receiving filled-out PDF forms directly to your email inbox and you manage your own data?
I'd like to receive the forms by email, then I'll put it into my database. I can make tables or put it in spreadsheets or whatever I want from there.
RE: Without the subscription & with FormsCentral for Acrobat :...
- You can't create web forms (HTML forms)
There is a save to HTML feature in Acrobat X. When I saved a document with a form to HTML format I could open it with a browser, but the form fields didn't show up. Don't know if that because it really doesn't do this, or if I'm so new at this I screwed it up.
Also, there was some comment about needing a CGI script to collect the information and send it to a database, and that makes sense to me, though I don't know how to use CGI. I have a CGI something or other available through my hosting service. Maybe that's what I need to learn to use.
Here are the instructions for v.X
Home / Using Acrobat X Pro / Forms / Publishing interactive web forms

Submit Form Selections options
Use the Submit A Form action to send form data to an email address or to a web server by specifying a URL. You can also use the submit button to send other files back to a server or database. For example, you can attach scanned images or files to a form. The files are submitted along with the rest of the form data when you click the Submit button.
If your PDF form contains an email-based submit button, you can use the Distribute workflow to facilitate distributing the form to others.

How do I use Acrobat Pro via subscription vs from my harddrive?

I subscribed to Acrobat Pro last year and recently got notice that it will automatically renew. I need to use it now, but instead of launching via my subscription, I'm being asked for a serial number for the CS5.5 Master Collection. How can launch the app from my subscription instead of from my harddrive?

How can I use Acrobat Pro XI upgrade when I have a previous version on a different computer?

I just bought an upgreade of Acrobat Pro XI and installed it on my laptop. I own Pro X on my desktop but when I try to open XI it asks for a serial number of a for a previous version on the laptop. The previous version is on a desktop. What can I do?
Thanks.
Garrett65

You just need to enter the Serial number of the Acrobat X to authenticate the upgrade.
There is no need to actually have the previous version installed on the computer.

How do I use a MyVerizon ringtone I received in the form of a txt message? The long touch method on the media does not work, btw.

I purchased a ringtone on My Verizon via my computer. They sent me txt message with the media but I can't figure out how to save it as a ringtone. The long touch method doesn't work. It's not anywhere in my media files, and frankly I just joined verizon but they have proven a bit difficult. On thin ice already, this isn't helping.

Have you managed to save it to your phone? If so, download a file explorer app (like Estrongs file explorer) from the Play Store. Open up the file explorer app and navigate to the "Download" folder. Scroll through your downloads to locate the ringtone file. Select it and use the file explorer's copy or cut function to put the ringtone file in the clipboard. Back out of the "download" folder to the "sdcard" level. Then look for a "ringtones" folder. Select it to open it and view the contents. Using the file explorer, paste the ringtone file to that folder. Back out of the file explorer app. The ringtone will now be available in the "phone ringtone" selection list.

How to use Acrobat to automate the process of proposal acceptance.

I email PDF proposals to prospective clients. I ask them for authorisation to proceed. How can I use Acrobat Pro XI to stream line the process for the client. No signature is required. A simple email authoirsing us to proceed is sufficient. I'd appreciate any ideas.

You can use the "initiate" property in the BPEL designer to make the pick the first activity in a BPEL process, however in such a case it would not be possible to have an onAlarm branch as the process would only be initiated in response to an inbound message. Note that the "initiate" check box causes a 'createInstance="yes"' attribute to be added to the pick. When this attribute is true then the pick may not have an onAlarm branch.
A sample pick is shown below
<blockquote>
<pick name="Pick_1" createInstance="yes">
<onMessage portType="client:PickBPELProcess" operation="initiate"
variable="inputVariable" partnerLink="client">
...
</onMessage>
<onMessage portType="client:PickBPELProcess" operation="initiate2"
variable="inputVariable2" partnerLink="client">
...
</onMessage>
</pick>
</blockquote>
Hope this helps

How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row. For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons. With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row. Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons? Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row?
Thanks so much,
Andy

I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

Scan and fill form using Acrobat 6.0

How can I scan hardcopy of a form, save as PDF, open the form in Acrobat 6.0, and fill in the blanks (fields)?

Thanks Dave.
I'm aware that my 6.0 acrobat is way out of date. But I thought I created a fillable form a few years ago using it. But in that case it probably was a PDF going into the process, not a scanned form. Also, I was using vista at the time and now have win 7/64bit.
I'll try the OCR routine but your post suggests what I suspected, that I can't get to where I'm going from here.

As Acrobat 6 went out of support / obsolete many years ago you'll want to be sure the OS is compatible and the scanner software is compatible.
Use Acrobat's create PDF from scanner feature (review the Help file if needed, the Help PDF was installed when Acrobat 6 was installed).
So, you'll now have that PDF.
But, it is not yet a form PDF.
The scanner output is an image so you have an image / a picture as the PDF page content.
You may want to use Acrobat's OCR feature to provide a hidden layer of renderable characters.
Use Acrobat's form tools to build your form. As Acrobat 6 is long ago gone by I don't recall if it had a "form wizard". Check the Help PDF.
Be well...

How do I use 'submit' as complete pdf, and use 'drawn my signature' with required fields?

I have created a form with required fields, no problem. The form can be completed with adobe reader, and a signature added using Sign > Place signature > Draw my signature, great. But i need the required fields to be checked and then sent by email, so I have add a button and set the action to "Submit a form" and selected "PDF The Complete Document" from the options. I then add the javascript URL - mailto:????@????.com, but now the "Draw my signature" option is greyed out.
I have asked this question a number of times, and cannot get a proper answer, please can someone help or offer a work around.

George,
Thanks for your response, but I am not sure it fully answers my question. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean - here I have created a simple form, with one required field for some data, using Acrobat XI. If I open the form (I have not reader enabled the form) in Adobe Reader XI, I am able to add a drawn signature, I could save the document then attach to an email to send as you have suggested.
But, If I now add a Submit button, set the URL to mail it to [email protected] and select "PDF the complete document" as below
When I open the document in Adobe Reader now, the signature options are all greyed out as you can see.
Hope this clarifies my predicament

Quantity price breaks

Hello! Using hierarchies & expansions for quantity price breaks is too time consuming. Is there a better way? We currently are applying price breaks to each item 4 times. Each instance represents each price list used. This practice is redundant to say the least. Is there a global quantity break for all price lists?

I am currently developing an enhancement to the Special Prices specific to a customer's need. It will enable the user to Add a Single Period Driven "Disc%" & "Price After Disc" to Multiple Items within a Special Price List for Partner. This is because the customer has Multiple Items that have the Same Period Driven Price and are managed simultaneously. So, instead of the User entering the same item's Period Deal to one Item at a time (time consuming and duplication), the items' Period Deal can be added to multiple Items at ONE GO by selecting/highlighting multiple Items in the Special Prices Form. I have not attempted the adding of Quantity Driven Deals as YET, but i will be in the comming weeks.
I am confident that it CAN be done using the SDK but there are some minor drawbacks to concider...like the selection of Price List from the ComboBox to use in the Period will not bring forward the current Item's Base Price List Value.
