This function however will not work as JS assumes data in the boxes and will not alert. Of course, if I remove the value, the calculation for average is off because it counts everything. Yes, you can definitely do that. Can you please post your question to the Forms or JavaScript forums? I would like to perform a calculation and return the value of a user entered field based upon the result set. So for example, if the calculation value is between 5 and 10, it should render the value of field 1, between - the value of field 2, between - the value of field 3 and so on.
Has anyone ever done this? Hello, I read your responses. I have a similar issue with summation of numeric fields using Javascript for Adobe. What is the issue? I was also having the same problem as Cindy and Susan, not be able to select individual forms to calculate, even after doing the advice you gave. I found the problem, at least it worked for me. Make sure that the forms you want are obviously set to numerical as stated and that the JavaScript is on.
When you go to click the check box, click slightly to the left of the actual box, and it worked for me! Looks like just a button alignment issue within the program.
Hopefully this can help you guys correct the error. Thank you for your all your help! Yes, you can do that. When you add a check box, open the Properties dialog, and click the Options tab. Type a value into the Export Value field. As you click each checkbox, the value is exported directly to your Total field. I have an simple order form with items listed and their prices. Next to each price I have Check Boxes.
How do I assign a value in Dollars to the check boxes so if a customer checks a box I can perform a simple mathematical addition of the check Box vales and display the Total of the selected check boxes. Between posting my query and then going on vacation, I experimented with a number of methods. This included recreating the form, multiple times, from scratch, with ONLY the required fields that had calculations.
Reviewing those files, all of them are in proper sequence. I finally found a simple Javascript online that I was able to modify. That prevents problems in all sorts of scripting, including JavaScript. Thank you for your reply.
I did format the fields as numbers; I was certain that would solve the problem but it did not. I was able to get it to work via the Simplified Field Notation.
When I get a moment, I will see if this issue happens on other forms. This was an imported Excel doc; I wonder if I can isolate it down so I can provide more specific feedback to the Adobe folks. I found a couple of other people siting the same issue so it seems to be something that needs addressed in a future update. Make sure all your fields that you intend to calculate are defined as numerical fields in the Format tab of the properties dialog box. By default, the field content is alphanumeric, and Acrobat ignores those fields in producing calculations.
When you added the extra fields you disrupted the field calculation order. Use the tools in the Forms panel to make sure the fields are in sequence. I have the same issue as Susan. Enable JavaScript is enabled. I can select all or deselect all but cannot do anything individually. Any thoughts? I have a form that requires simple multiplication and addition using both default numbers and user input data.
Originally, the form required three Quantity fields, each multiplied by a default Rate value, and then one Quantity field multiplied by a user input Rate value to provide a Sub Total, and finally, all the Sub Totals were added up to create a Grand Total.
All was well…. After adding those fields, all the Sub Totals functioned properly, but, the Grand Total is entirely erratic with the displayed results. The Grand Total most often indicates zero, but sometimes displays odd combinations from apparently random fields. Once, just once, it actually gave a correct sum with the first four fields. Can you post your question here and select the forms category so our experts can help? I wonder if you can help me with a calculation quandry. Can you assist?
I worked with an adobe tech using chat; he had me run a repair program found under the help pulldown. No luck. I need this to work! I make forms that calculate as my job! And I need to do this on my desktop!!! Thank you for this great video!
I am passing the field values through code to their respective fields. Once its done i want to perform the summation of those fields to an another total field.
The calculation is performed only after i click on other fields. Is there any way to display the total during the PDF display itself rather than me clicking on some other fields and calculation being performed. And Thanks for the tutorial that was helpful. I want to create a form that is a schedule beginning at whatever time the user specifies.
Is there a way to put a time in the first field like AM and have each successive hour be one hour later than the previous one? Perhaps you should post your question to the Adobe forums.
Hi and thank you for your work… I am trying to find a way to round down the values I obtain as a result of a calculation I made in simple notation. I have been pounding my head for a couple of hours, and that made the light bulb go off. Also just a reminder to folks to count their parenthesis and make sure they match if you have a multi-part equation. There are a few ways you can calculate a percentage. Then use a field to input the company worth, ie.
To calculate the percentage, add another field, then in the Properties, click Calculate. Click the Value is the radio button and choose Product from the dropdown list. Click Pick and choose your two fields for calculation. For all three fields, make sure you have specified their format as Number on the Format category. You may want to have one of the fields hidden. For example, if your shareholders hold different percentages, leave that visible to enter the data, but set the field holding the total company worth as hidden.

Lori Kassuba 6, 13, Hi Brian Naab, Are these the steps your using for the subtraction? Lori Kassuba 6, 13, Hi Jen, It sounds like you might want to include a reset field so all your fields go back to the default value.

Kind regards, Robert. Thank you in advace, Robert. Kristin 9, 26, I have a field to enter a value and then that is multiplied times a set value, which in turn figures a total. Daniel Burge 6, 13, Lori, I created a declining balance form. Is there any way to protect the document from unwanted changes after I sign it? If so how do I do it?
If you want to have multiples, you can have a whole list of blank fields for your customers to type the numbers themselves. Hi I want to use this to create Order Forms or my Photography Business but I am having trouble understanding this… The text that it copies, will this be editable?
What if I want to have the fileds blank and have them type it in without their being something their previously? I usually have multiple lines where people can write in multiple photo s… Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make this work? Yes, you can program a button to return a form to an email address.
As for the trigger, MouseUp is the standard trigger used for button actions. And use the Mouse Up trigger instead of Mouse Enter. Sending a form to someone is a different task.
