New calculation in pdf form

I've got a little pdf-form where you can enter the unit price and the order size. The form will calculate the allround price (Text1+text2...), taxes and so on.
First the unit price is multiplied by order size, these will be add and finally I calculate the taxes.
After this I change an unit price (typing error), but the calculated taxes remain the same.
Is there any way to force the form to re-calculate?
Thanks a lot
Abe

Make sure that the field calculation order is set correctly.

Runtime calculations in PDF forms

Good day!
My task is to make a PDF form of the quantity of the material on the factory with some runtime calculations. Just like these:
MATNR | MAKTX | LGORT | LABST | MEINS
100 | Material_1 | 0001 | 100 | KG
100 | Material_1 | 0002 | 300 | KG
In general : 400
200 | Material_2 | 0001 | 50 | KG
In general : 50
300 | Material_3 | 0003 | 150 | KG
I've made the layout to look exactly like this but i don't know how to make calculations. I think that the solution is to use FORMcalc but regretfully i haven't find it yet.
Thank you!

How to do dynamic calculation on PDF Form

Hi friends,
I need to to create a invoice page using Adobe PDF dynamic Form.
Business Requirement:-
1. User will select predifined product, Quantity, Rate and Amount would be calculated. Tax would be calculated from the below data.
2. I have a tax table
    0      - 1000    2%
    1000 - 2000   5%
    3000 - 4000   7%
Queries:-
- how to write script to calculate Tax based on above tax table data? How to ref. a table data?
- how to write script keeping in mind about adding new percentage in future?
Cheers,
Victor

The attached form will help you in understanding the dynamic calculations.
Reading the table data with changes in the future..
a) If your application is a standalone application, (means you distribute the .PDF file directly to the users instead of rendering the PDF based on request), then you may need to hard code the data inside the form itself. - In this case, if the table data changes, you need to change the PDF and re-distribute the form.
b) If you are rendering the PDF on the fly based on the request, then you have the option of reading the data from the table (you need to do this in the parent application which is invoking the rendering process) and make it part of the input XML at the time of rendering. You need to write your code to read the XML and do the calculations for each request. - In this case, if the table data changes, PDF will get the latest information beacause the latest info is available in the input XML.
Thanks

New to creating PDF forms

I have never really done this so....if i create an electronic forms-build pdf in adobe acrobat xi professional does anyone who uses that form need Adobe Acrobat XI to interact with the form?

No. Adobe Reader is usually enough, and if they have Adobe Reader XI then
you don't need to do anything special to the file for it to be savable. For
earlier versions of Reader you need to apply a special right to it first in
Acrobat.

Question about using calculations in PDF form

I am creating an order form with fields using simple calcuation math (price field x qty field = subtotal field). My question is, if the quantity fields in the order form are blank I would like the subtotal and total fields to remain blank as well. However it shows and prints as 0.00. Is there a way to change that?

Use this code as the custom validation script for that field:
if (event.value == 0) event.value = "";

If, then, javascript calculation on pdf form

I have a form with a grid which lists credit cards transaction amounts, with a drop down box for "type of credit" (visa, mastercard, discover). The bottom of the form has 3 different total lines; one for each of the credit card types. I would like to know how I get the amounts entered on the grid above to be included onto the correct total line, depending on what type of credit card was chosen from the dropdown on that row. Since I'm not versed in java script, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to accomplish this type of calculation

I would recommend that you post this question over in the Acrobat Forms area as the folks there can help you best.

I will try to explain the issue in detail.
I am trying to execute Tax Reporter Transaction PU19. Iam executing Quarterly Form 941 for USA for a Tax Company and a Period. This report gives an output Log and the log had generated errors in the log section General errors and Warnings.
The errors are :
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941 and

As we are new to the PDF Forms we don't know why the report has generated and how to find out by debugging or any other way.
So I need to find out how the above errors can be identified?
Thanks and Regards,
Madhan.

PDF Form Password Permission Question

I'm new to creating PDF forms and have Acrobat 9 Pro. I'm creating a form for a client who is asking if I can put two passwords on the form:
1. a password that enables my client (Client A) to open the form, enter info in the fields, save as something and forward the PDF on to their client (Client B).
2. a password that enables Client B to view only
Does anyone know if I can put both types of passwords on the original doc or does Client A have to put Client B's password on it after they modify the doc? Any help is much appreciated.

What application will client A and B be using?
Chances are Client A will have to change the password before sending to Client B. But Client A won't be able to if they are just using the free Reader to fill out the form.

Including a JavaScript library in Acrobat PDF Forms

Hi, I'm new to making PDF Forms. Is it possible to include a JavaScript library (for example jQuery or node.js) in a PDF Form? How would I go about doing this?
Thanks

In principle it's possible, but it wouldn't make much sense because these
libraries are written to work with JS in HTML pages, not PDF files, and the
objects, events and methods of the two are completely different (except for
core JS commands).
So yeah, you can load jQuery in Acrobat but you probably won't be able to
use any of it.

Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form? If so, how?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed. I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field. The procedure for creating these escapes me. Does anyone have any insight?

Hi Gilad,
thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
Kind Regards,
Pete

Yesterday, as today's deadline for filing tax returns approached, I was paralyzed by the inability to create new IRS PDF forms and to retrieve archived ones from a year ago. My computer went crazy. 24 hours later, I am still paralyzed. Can you help?

My computer went crazy yesterday on two occasions involving PDF documents. One dealt with attachments to an email from a bona fide corporation. The other dealt with IRS PDF forms & schedules needed for today's submission.
As both dealt with PDF and had nothing else in common, I suspected my PC had a virus. When I asked a local store technician, he agreed. I turned to Norton, which protects my PC from viruses, and after a few hours of really thorough searching, the computer was found to have no viruses.
Before describing what I call "crazy" computer behavior, you need to know that I have long had IE8 as my default browser but a few weeks ago switched to Mozilla Firefox because IE8 had beome incompatible with some websites from which I get information.
When I received the email from AT&T email service and clicked the first of four icons representing attachments, there was figuratively an explosion on my monitor: a series of new tabs, each called New Tab, burst onto the monitor--but no text or picture. The new tabs appeared faster than I coul kill them. I finally decided just to shut down the computer, hoping they would not reappear when I restarted. I was wrong. After 2 repeats, I decided to forget about the attachments and asked the sender to send them to me by regular mail.
That was no solution for my IRS PDFs. I wanted to complete filling in the various forms and schedules that I had begun months ago so that I could mail them today to the IRS (without having to copy them all in ink). When I tried to open the first one, BOOM. The same thing happened: the blizzard of New Tabs atop blank pages; my IRS form or schedule did not show up. Did the same shutdown/restart routine with the same results.
When I looked at the list of current forms that had to be completed, I noticed something very strange: the icons that began the listing of the documents' names were replaced one by one by Mozilla icons. When I moused over them, they said Firefox HTML. Why?
Starting the day today, I had the same experience. What's more, when I started to retrieve 2012 IRS PDFs from a year ago, the same New Tab tabs appeared and had to be killed, and Mozilla icons replaced whatever icon was there before.
Assuming that the problem arose with Adobe Reader's reading of the PDFs, I contacted Adobe but got no helpful phone number because PDFs are a free service and was directed to use this Forum to get help.
What do I have to do to (a) read and use PDFs in the normal way and (b) remove the Mozilla icon from those that have appeared on icon documents. If Mozilla is the source of the problem, shall I go back to IE8? (In my 80s, I want eventually to replace my old computer but for the time being I must continue using it. It will not take an IE9. Anther possible default browser would be Google Chrome, but I have unfavorable impressions of it because of its intrusiveness, loading my PC with stuff I do not need.
Can you help?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

Creating a link in a PDF form to open into a new window

I have created the PDF form and every thing seems to be working fine. But I would like to set a link in the form that would open into a separate page. I have tried target="_blank" and onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars,width=650,height=600'); return false" with no success. Can someone give me some direction on how to create a link within a PDF form that will open into a new window?

Try this, using JavaScript:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com",true);

Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6). I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form." What's wrong? (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now). It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document). Please, someone, anyone, help! I think I got a bad batch of software here. Any suggestions? If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case? Is this software under warranty?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your email. The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file. It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time. I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file. I tried to repairing the software but it does not help. Any other suggestions? Is this version of software defective? I really need this feature. I look forward to your reply. Thanks.
