SIMPLE FORMULA IN ADOBE ACROBAT PRO

I am not a programmer and do not know how to use Javascript.
I have a simple calculation that I cannot determine how to put it together.
Cell A minus Cell B = Cell C
Each Cell is a total of several cells and I need to determine the net amount with a subtraction calculation.

If those are really your field names go to the Calculate tab of field C and enter the following as the "Simplified field notation" code:
A - B
You'll need to make sure in the Field Calculation Order (which is NOT the same as the tab order) that C is calculated after A and B.

Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

Hello all,
I am having issues- big ones- please help!
I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
Don't know what else to do.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
A.

I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it. Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format?
For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out. They fill it out and click a button to email it to me. When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
Thank you for your help thus far. It has been much more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like? Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase. I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
1. After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below. Why?
2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
   This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
File
> Create
   > PDF from scanner
     > Custom scan
       > Color Mode: Black and White
       > Append to existing file
         > Browse
           > Select file
             > Scan
This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan. Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option. Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance). Please assist.
3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
   Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
3a See Error. Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White. Why?
3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product? The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product. Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online. I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options? Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities? Even after clicking "Ready to contact us? Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them. Regardless, please advise. Thanks!

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac? Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24. Can someone help me with this? - JML

Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions
3) The final "score" takes the answer from Step 2 above and divides by the total possible answer
Any help on what Java Script I need to complete this would be greatly appreciated!
I've attached a "spreadsheet" that shows it in more detail as well as what formulas I used in Excel to get the desired end result.
Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9

I'm having trouble saving my file in adobe acrobat pro 9. When I attempt to save I get message saying,"Bad File Handle". There are several pictures on this file I'm trying to save...dont know if that has anything to do with the problem, just thought it would be helpful information. Would really appreciate any insight anyone has to offer.
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar problem with a simple pdf form. I have made several changes to the pdf and when I go to save, I get the message that I can't save the file due to a "bad file handle." I have opened, altered, saved, and closed the form several times before, just not now. No one else was working on the form. The file format is still a pdf and nothing has changed.

Auto fill forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 7

Hi All
This may have been answered already, if so I couldn't locate the answer I'm seeking and I apologize.
I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and the form I have has multiple combo boxes (drop down) on the form and I wanted to know if it's possible for me to link certain forms together so that when the information from combo box 3 is selected from the drop down menu it will automatically populate the information in combo box 12? Combo box 12 will have completely different information though.
Here is my example: We have an upwards of 30 departments and with these departments are different contact names and with these contact names there is the phone number and the email address, all in different fields on the form...currently, I have made a drop down for the department and have everyone manually fill in the other information, however, now everyone wants to be able to auto-fill the other fields such as the contact for that dept, the phone number and the email address of that contact, based solely on the selection of the dept. combo box.
Is it feasible?
If it is, I'm an your everyday run of the mill admin asst and my Javascript skills are nil, so please let me know what to put and in what box.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It is feasible, but does require some moderately advanced JavaScript, so it's not a simple matter of telling you where to place the code. There are a lot of details to consider, but a series of articles that should get you started if you decide to learn more is available here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle
Otherwise, I would suggest finding a consultant to do this for you, if there's a budget for it.

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Sara,
Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

Adobe Acrobat Pro - .pdf to html conversion not exporting correctly

Hi There - I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. I uploaded a .pdf file and it is saved as a .html file. It looks great on their platform, although when I download the .html file it saves everything incorrectly. I can call them tomorrow, but I would like to see if anyone has any ideas on why this might be a problem? Thanks so much. -Beth

You do not have all the fonts embedded, but the basic document looks fine. There is an issue withe the printer setup in your browser that is leading to part of the page running off the paper - but that is a browser issue and not Acrobat. In some cases, a simple fix is to print as landscape.

I am trying to use Barcode function on Adobe acrobat pro version..I could not figure out..how can i autopopulate forms using Barcode from one PDF document( form) to next PDF document( form)..i am missing something in between those?

I have no idea what you are asking - can you be a little bit more clear formulating your question.
Anyway, this is the Adobe Reader forum; you should probably ask in the Acrobat forum.

Adobe Acrobat Pro subscriptions - single user

I subscribed for a single user for Adobe Acrobat Pro for one of my team to use, but the Adobe registration pages don’t seem to allow for this. I tried a chat line and asked the question – they simply just didn’t get it. This is just so simple and the registration management and account pages are just so complicated – why isn’t it a simple matter of assigning the user as you do in Creative Cloud account user management pages.
Help -

Hi Emrysg,
Please let me know what you mean when you say "Adobe registration pages don't seem to allow this".
Are you not able to use the software?
What error do you get?

Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 w/ Autocad in XP Mode- not working

I'm running Autocad Arch Desktop (ADT) in Windows XP Mode within Windows 7, and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in Windows 7. Unfortunately, no "Adobe PDF" pulldown was created within ADT once Adobe Pro was installed, and there isn't any sign of Adobe in ADT (normally, Adobe automatically installs pulldowns within ADT once installed). Adobe and ADT function normally otherwise. Does anyone know how to get Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 to recognize and work with ADT in Windows XP Mode?

Can you tell me how to set the defaults to Courier 10pt font? I tried select all and it's grayed out, but that was after the
fact. Where are the original default presets?
Thank you in advance.

Trying to update Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but it's been stuck at 35% for a little over a day?

Hi mattwillball,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
You might need to refer the following KB doc link for issue where Acrobat download and install process is stuck at 35% on MAC:
Installation Prompt to Close SafariNotificati
If this does not help, then please let me know if you get any other error message when installation is stuck.
Hope to hear from you.
