Simple calculations not working in acrobat 9

I have text form fields made in Acrobat 9 from a previously made pdf, where I need a simple calculation, but I cannot get it to work.
The form is not for submission, only for personal tracking, so I don't even need validation.
FieldA (a number they enter) x a number I have entered in the calculation = FieldB
FieldB x FieldC (a number they enter) = FieldD In FieldB I have a simple javascript Calculation in the form field: FieldA * .115, which should automatically calculate answer into FieldB, when tabbed.
In FieldD I have a Calculation in the form field: FieldB * FieldC, which should automatically calculate answer into FieldD. All fields are set as numbers.
I have left the Trigger Action as Mouse Up.
I don't need to validate, as this is personal use, and is not being submitted.
I have all fields in the correct tab order.
I have reader enabled the form. When I open the form in Reader, I can enter the numbers, but no calculations are being performed. It reads 0 in FieldB and FieldD. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone,
I use the following VBS code, but to tell the truth, I don't know if it works or not. The main idea was to enable commenting from Adobe Reader. But after execution code, saving document and reopening it in Reader, commenting is still 'Not Allowed'. Is showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab really capable to allow this and there is only error in my code? Or is the functionality different and this way can never be used for what I want?
There is another issue that application is not closed on Exit, but is still shown.
scriptPath = "C:\Acrobat\"
Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
sampleFilePath = scriptPath & "AR_test_orig.pdf"
pdDoc.Open sampleFilePath
pdDoc.OpenAVDoc "myFile"
gApp.Show
Set formApp = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")
'formApp.Fields.ExecuteThisJavascript "app.alert(""hello"");"
formApp.Fields.ExecuteThisJavascript "Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true;"
Set formApp = Nothing
pdDoc.Save 1, scriptPath & "AR_test.pdf"
'pdDoc.Close
gApp.CloseAllDocs
gApp.Exit
Set pdDoc = Nothing
Set gApp = Nothing
Thanks for any ideas.
Jan
PS: I use Acrobat 9.0 Pro

Share calculation Not working in the report

Iam surprised not to ge the simple share calculation not working at my report.
I have a dimension and corresponding values ( measures) .I made a Total at the end of the report. and I want to calcualte share of Total to each corresponding value.
how to do this, any thougts,...
I have used calculated memebers for this, But I wan to make the percentage of the total ( which is calculated inside Tool itself)
Please help....

Prassad,
Not totally sure what you are trying to achieve but there a couple of possible solutions:
1) Total = total of all dimension members. Assuming you only have three dimension members then you should have a fourth member called ALL_DIMS or something similar. In the Share calculation template you need to specify the Total level as the basis for your share calc. This will generate the following result:
                         Revenue % Share
- All Members     600         100%
     A                  100           17%
     B                  200           33%
     C                  300           50%2) The total you are referring to is in fact a sub total and is the result of adding together only the results for A + B + C, i.e. you have hundreds of dimension members but you specifically want to see a total for just these three members. To do this create a new custom aggregate call "My Total" and add together the dimension members A + B + C - Custom Aggs are a new feature to Discoverer OLAP (Checkout Mark Rittman's excellent blog article for more information on this feature: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2006/11/13/checking-out-the-new-discoverer-101220-features/)
Then in the Share calculation wizard set the basis for your index using the last option in the list "Specific Dimension Member" and select your new custom aggregate member.
Hope this helps

SDK not work in Acrobat X

I was using AcroAVDoc::FindText to find particular text and in Acrobat 9. The SDK work fine and will be scrolled and highlight the text. However, the same code not work in Acrobat X. Anywork have any idea how to make it work. Thanks.
The code as below:
Dim pdAVDoc as AcroAVDoc
pdAVDoc.FindText("End Of Statement")

So you're also implying that my code is fine and should work as far as you know?

Sendmail does not work in Acrobat 9.5.1.

Acrobat 9.5.1
OS 10.6.8
The Sendmail feature does not work - when I try to attach mail, I get a warning:
"The SendMail doesn't know how to talk to your default mail client. Please select a different mail application to use."
1. Surely this should work?
2. How do I select a different mail application?

This does not work in Acrobat XI either for Office 64bit (Office 2013 64 bit)
Does anybody know the fix for this?
I called tech support today but they dont seem to know anything about the error although its a known issue with all previous versions of Acrobat for serveral years now.
I really need to make this work, there is a random google post where I have ot make some regedits, but why can't Adobe fix this known issue since it is nothing new?
My basic understanding at this point is that even Acrobat XI is a 32 bit app and the programmers at Adobe still dont know how to write the API to talk to a 64bit mail client?
I really need some help on this if anybody has a real solution.
Thanks!

Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

Hi,
Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

Simple pass not working windows 10

simple pass not working, does not recognise windows password at start to gain access to system, no flashing light, driversin software only go to windows 8.1.How do I reset the lot or reinstall simple pass?

I have an HP Elitebook 8760W. I cannot get Simplepass or Windows Hello to recognize my Validity VFM-471 fingerprint reader. I'm not sure I have the right driver installed for the Validity hardware. Could someone please point me to a link for the proper Win 8.1 driver? I'm trying to make this work on Windows Pro 64 Bit. I have tried everything to make this work. Both Simplepass and Window Hello recognize the fingerprint read while I'm setting it up, but when rebooting and trying to log in with the fingerprint function - it doesn't act like it is even working. I've tried all of the suggestions on the instructions to no avail. The Laptop works just fine without the fingerprint scanner, and I guess I can live without it, but I've been used to using it on Windows 7 for so long, I'd like to have it working agian. Any suggestions or hellp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Updated Acrobat and now Javascript calculations not working in new forms.

I had created forms for my work that allowed me to calculate back dates from a given date to instruct the form users when components of a project were due. Below is the script I used- I am NOT a programmer and this was taken from another forum. It has worked successfully for 2 years in both Acrobat 9 & 10 and in various forms I have made.
var strStart = this.getField("0VendorArtApproved-2wk").value;
if(strStart.length)
var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var dueMillis = dateStart.getTime() - 21 * oneDay;
var dueDate = new Date(dueMillis);
event.value = util.printd("mmm d, yyyy",dueDate);
else
event.value = "NA";
"0VendorArtApproved-2wk" is the field the previous date was taken from- this and the amount of days "- 21" changes from field to field. This form has 3 levels that it calulates dates from- which starts with a single initial date entered into a text box by the user. This allowed the user to see when different elements of a project were due. Sorry if this seems basic to all the Javascript masters but I am really very clueless on prgramming speak and only know what I have read from forums.
The last version of the form that worked successfully was in Oct 13', I went to create a new form and copied these formula boxes to a new form and now half of them do no work.
I have rechecked my formulas and formatting and cannot find and issue. They are exactly the same. One works and one does not. The only thing I can see different from the 2 forms is that I am certain there were 1 or 2 updates to the Acrobat software itself that could possibly have caused an issue.
So I have 2 documents- 1 created in October 13' that works and one created today Jan 14' that does not work. They have the same formulas.
Anyone aware of changes to Acrobat or errors in my formula that could have caused this? I am in version 10.1.9

Applied this fix. There was an error in the NEW document. I redid the formulas in the NEW document and that did not work. Still had the same problem.
SO I went back and redid the formulas in the fields in the OLD document to the revision I needed and that worked. All I was trying to do was tweak the number of days between one element and the next in this area and there were a bunch of other revisions to the form so I figured it was easier to start fresh. I will just make all the revisions to the OLD document- which will be a lot of work, but at least my formulas are working. Not an ideal fix but something must have been glitchy in the new document and I now have a workable form.
I believe some kind of odd interaction happened when I copy and pasted the fields from document to another.
Thank you so much for your help! I am days away from maternity leave so I had to get this figured out fast!

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

Calculations not working in browser window.

I have a .PDF form with several points of of user data input, with other fields in the form doing the math for the user. My issue is that when the user downloads the form, it usually automatically downloads in a browser window and while they can view it and tab through it, none of the calculations are performed. The only way I can have users use it the way intended is to ask them to open it Reader...or use Acrobat. Is there a setting or something that would help it perform correctly in the browser window? Thanks very muchad Here's the copy http://www.villageweaver.com/warp_calc_worksheet.pdf

It works in a browser for me. Do the users who this is not working for have Reader or Acrobat instead of Preview? If they have Reader or Acrobat do they have javascript enabled within Reader/Acrobat?

Help: Kensington KeyPad calculator NOT working! :-(

I just purchased a Kensington KeyPad Calculator (model 33059) which is EXPRESSLY compatible with Mac and I cannot get it to work!! This is after I purchased and returned a Targus brand KeyPad that the manufacturer says was NOT compatible with Mac.
The first time I plugged the kensington device in, the Keyboard Setup Assistant popped up which (1) I did not know what options to choose (the question prompted was to press the key immediately to the RIGHT of the LEFT-SIDE shift key on the new USB keypad and I DO NOT HAVE THAT...it's just a simple 19-key calculator pad!!) and (2) after not recognizing the keypad, the Setup Assistant gave me the option of choosing a 100+-key ANSI US default (again, NOT what the Kensington is--a simple calculator pad!!).
The Kensington has two modes of imput...keypad and calculator. I tried to use the calculator function on the Kensington while Apple's calculator was launched and, ODDLY, the input single seems to be the number followed by CLEAR!! (i.e., press '8' and you can see a flutter on the Apple calculator corresponding to '8' and 'C' for CLEAR resulting in NO input!).
If I open up a text document, I can navigate with the Kensington KeyPad and insert numbers into the document. This function, however, is not only MORE TEDIOUS than the regular keyboard but also NOT why I purchased the device! My GOAL is to use the KeyPad with Apple's CALCULATOR so that I can input numbers and functions using the familiarly-arranged calculator keypad instead of the straight, left-to-right, 1-thru-0 numbers on my Powerbook.
Does anyone know how to set up or use this purported compatiable Kensington 33059 Keypad and its calculator function for use with Apple's calculator??
Thanks so much!!

Alt scroll to zoom does not work in Acrobat anymore, why?

I used this feature all the time before but it does not work anymore. Why?
I have Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite and use a Logitech mouse. Lates versions of all CC-apps.

Still having this issue after an update...
I review a lot of architectural drawings, which requires a lot zooming in/out to see details... Up until this last Acrobat Pro (11) update I was able to press option (Mac) and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out... That convenient feature is now missing... I jacked around with several preferences and Page Display settings with no luck... I am hoping there is a checkbox hidden somewhere that I need to click on... Any clues????
Thanks...
