Is it possible to make a calculated field only appear when the result is greater than 0?

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard.  I have created a form that has caculated fields.  However, the fields always show the "$0.00" when it doesnt have anything to calculate.  I would only like a result to appear in this field when the result is greater than 0.  Is this possible?

The use of currency and percentage signs always behave this way since the display format is a character string and not a plain number.
You will have to use some custom JavaScript in the Custom JS calculation, the custom format format, or the validation script.
There is not a lot of documentation for this, but Acrobat JavaScripting Guide Version 6 has some infromation about usin the AFNumber_Format built-in function.
If your users are using version 8 or below, you will need to adjust the format of the field.

  • PDF forms have problems displaying text and only appears when the field is selected

    Hello,
    I created some pdf forms to distribute to the company clients. But we are having some people complaining about the text visibility. When they have work in team, the pdf that they receive from a third person often appears unfill or without text, the text is only visible when the field is selected. I need to find a solution for this because our company products are base on this forms.
    If there is any addition information that I should add to understand what is happening and how to fix it, I'll be happy to write it.
    In the company, we all have mac and the forms where created innitially in Adobe acrobat 9 pro, but we have now Adobe acropabt XI pro.
    The users have both Mac and Windows systems.
    Thank you,

    This is usually caused by the form being filled-in and saved by a Mac user who is using the Preview application to view the PDF. More information is here: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
    It is a good idea to inform your users that Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) should be used to work with the forms.

  • Text in completed form only appears when the cursor is placed in the field

    I created a form and sometimes when it is completed and returned to me, the fields appear blank. If I place my cursor in the field, see the text responses.  What can I do to fix this?

    It is a user issue.  This usually happens when someone uses a program other than Adobe Reader or Acrobat to fill in the form, such as Mac Preview.  You can simply put a text box on the form prompting the user to download and fill in using Adobe Reader with a link to the website OR if you do recieve a form this way you can "re show" the fields by following these steps.  (Assuming you have at least Adobe Acrobat Standard):
    Open form with hidden data.
    Go to Forms>Manage Form Data>Export Data
    Save the file as XDP.  Close the form.
    Reopen and go to:
    Forms>Manage Form Data>Import Data
    --import the XDP file you just created.
    All your fields should now be showing.  Saves time when you have an extensive form.  Keep in mind some of your data may not have auto formatting since the user did not use Adobe to fill in the form and some fields may require "cleaning up."

  • Is it possible to edit a calculated field?

    Is there a way to make a calculated field editable, overriding the calculation? My form table calculates HST on pay amounts. But not everyone charges HST so I'd like the user to be able to put $0 in the field manually. I can create an HST option box for each row but...that's a lot of "contriving" and not a practical solution ( I don't think). Is there an easier way to do this?
    Thanks.

    The HST is variable because the form is used in all provinces.
    In order to make it a no-brainer for the user, I have incorporated a check box on each row. If the check box is checked (value=1) then the HST calculation happens, otherwise the value=0. So this makes sense but doesn't work. I have adjusted the calculation order, doesn't make a difference.
    Note: I've never used java but I used to work with Access databases so I do have an understanding of the language/logic, hopefully enough to help me learn this quickly.
    Here is what I tried. HST option is the value of the checked Check box, which is "1". This code is returning the else value fine but otherwise isn't working and doesn't change when I toggle the Check box. Can you help me adjust this.
    var h = this.getField("HSToption");
    var f = this.getField("TOTALbeforeHST");
    var g = this.getField("HSTPercentageValue");
    if(h == 1){
    event.value = f.value * g.value;
    }else{
    event.value = "0";

  • Data missing in Crosstab report with calculated field via case when

    I use the Oracle 10g discoverer. When I create a crosstab report with a calculate field via function case when and put it as datapoint, some of the data is not showing. I tried to not use the case when function for the calculate field, then all the data show.
    I really do not the reason. Could anybody help me out with many thanks?

    Let me explain more.
    I have the original data below.
    Work order, Team, Hours_worked, date
    800001, S1, 5, 2012/01/01
    800001, S1, 15, 2012/01/10
    800001, S2, 4, 2012/01/04
    800002, S1, 3, 2012/01/15
    There are multipul records for the same work order, team on the same day or different.
    Finally I want to set the start date and end date as the parameter to create a crosstab report format like
    start date>=2012/01/01 and close date<=2012/01/05
    Team
    Total hours total hours within the range
    Work order S1 S2 ... S1 S2 ...
    800001 20 4 5 4
    800002 3 0 0 0
    in order to do it, I create two parameters independently start date and close date. Then I create a calculate field hours_worked_withinrange via
    Case when date>=:start date and date<=:end date then Hours_worked else 0 end
    This calculated field is correct in the tabular format report in discoverer desktop. But when I duplicate the list as crosstab. Some data is missing in crosstab data point.
    I checked once I change the calculate field defination not use case when. (For example, C1=hours_worked*2). Then everything runs correct.

  • Hi , How to make a calculated kf as local in the query definition

    Hi ,
    How to make a calculated kf as local in the query definition
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi,
    Calculate KF consists of Basic, restrict and other calculated kFs stored in Metadata repository.
    Calculate KF is a replicate of Formula and acts as Global.
    Calculate KF acts as Global--you can use Globally.
    Formula as Local--you can use as local to Query.
    you can create the Calculate KF as follow:
    Goto Query Designer>Open/Create Query>Select Key Figures Mode on left side of Query>Select that KF node> right click Select Calculate Keyfigure.
    then one popup window dispays, so you make the calculations based on Basic KF, Restirct Kf and Formule. then save it.

    Suman.

  • Is possible to make the bookmarks bar only appear on the homepage?

    I was just wondering if it was possible, with or without an add-on, if i could make it so that the bookmarks bar only appears on the homepage.

    I have the bar under the adress bar for bookmarks. But i use lots of bookmaks. When i nedd to access them i press the icon you told,and the side bookmaks bar is shown, and is this bookmaks left side bar that i wish to be permanently there.
    What happens is that i open it, choose the bookmark to be open and then it disappears...
    On Safari, differently from Firefox, when i press the icon it shows a complete page instead of the side bookmaks bar only.

  • How can we make the Retake Quiz button only appear when user reenters the course?

    In a Captivate 8 Quiz, we need to force the user to close the course (so attempts are captured by the LMS) from the Quiz Results page. The Retake Quiz button cannot show at this time. However, when the learner reenters the course from the LMS, the bookmarking brings the user to the Results page again. We need a Retake Quiz button to only show when the user reenters the course, not on Quiz completion. Disabling the bookmarking disables the reporting of attempts. Does anyone know a way to make that happen or a workaround?

  • Calculated Value in Infopath List Form only appears when editing.

    I have a InfoPath 2010 List Form running against SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. I've created a calculated value that returns data from a secondary list.  The returned value is correct but isn't being displayed in the display form.  It only appears
    when I click Edit.  Help!?!

    Hi dshupe,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you were using a Calculated Value control in InfoPath, and the contorl could not display in the list display form.
    I reproduced this issue, and it seem to be impossible to display the control in display form.
    For implementing your requirement, you can add a textbox control, and set default value using calculated  value(formula) for the textbox control, then set the control read-only. After that, the textbox control can not only work as well as a Calculated
    Value control, but also display in display form.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Can you make a line of text appear when hovering cursor over hotspot?

    Hi guys - i'm new so sorry if this has appeared before, i've had a look for the answer but dont know what the function is called so struggled. Basically, what I want to do is have a line of text appear when the cursor hovers over a hotspot. I want the text to be remote from the hotspot - there are 4 hotspots on the page in different locations but I want the relevant text for each hotspot to appear in the same place. Hope that makes sense. Cheers guys

  • Is it possible to make OINV.CardName field on Sales Invoice Editable?

    Hi Forum,
    Sales Invoice has cardcode and cardname. Is it possible to make the cardname editable  on the form to be able to change the name on invoice.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, it is not possible in the application window where you can change the cardname which has been defiined for a cardcode field in the OINV table.
    The field is not editable .
    However, you can check and option of having a UDF to define and have the value appear which you want. Purpose for change name requirement is unknown to me but if it is required in the Print out then you can check the display of the UDF field in the print layout.

  • Is it possible to have one search box search many fields? ( and "autocomplete" the results)?

    I'm really new to the whole area of JSON, autocomplete and javascript. My first project in this area is personal: making it easier to search for wines in my wine cellar.
    I have all my wines in a sqlite database (driven by CF 9 of course) and have a nice UI to report on, add, modify, delete, etc.  What I want to add is a search capability that works like this:  a user types text in a search box in any order they want and automagically, the wine is found. 
    To be specific, a user could start with "2005 Caymus" and the area below the text search box would be populated with all of the varietals of Caymus for 2005 that are in the cellar.   Similarly the user might start the search by typing "2005 Cabernet" in which case anything in the cellar that is from 2005 and a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Cabernet Franc from all wineries would appear below the text box. Or maybe they just want to see what French wines are in the cellar, so they'd start their search with "France" or "French". (BTW,  winery, vintage, wine type (varietal), country, appellation, etc. are all separate fields in the database/table.)
    Is my imagined search capability possible, or does each aspect of the search (year, winery, wine type/varietal) have to be user-entered into a separate text box?
    Any guidance/answers greatly appreciated!  If you're local, might even be worth sharing a vintage bottle of wine!

    Sorry I was unclear.
    Google is a single text box.  If you type "coldfusion 9 new features"
    you get a good listing of your results without having one box for
    software one for version one for descriptor and
    one for topic .  Similarly with Google it's likely you'll get
    somewhat similar results typing in "new features coldfusion 9" or
    "coldfusion 9 features".  So for my wine app I just want to present the
    user with one box so they can type in "Caymus 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon"
    (a "specific" search) or "2005" (a search for all wines from that year),
    etc.  It's the cleanness of the user experience I'm trying to
    accommodate here.    Make sense?

  • Displaying calculated field only when data exist

    Hello,
    Is there a way to display my calculated value only when the data entry field is being used. For instance, if I have several fields vertically aligned, I don't want to display a bunch of zeros if their data fields are not being used.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    You can check for the rawValue in the Calculate event before any script.
    Event: Calculate
    //FormCalc
       if(Field1.rawValue ne null) then
         // write your script here
       endif
    //JavaScript
    if(this.rawValue != null){
