#Automatic calculation not working in adobe for mac pro#
I was going to post & wait for someone to help, but after posting, I could not walk away and not have answers, so I went back to the drawing board.I re-created my form from Word, did NOT enable user rights, renamed all my fields, copied the formulas from the old form to the new form, and everything worked perfectly, in both Pro & Reader.
#Automatic calculation not working in adobe for mac pdf#
I did not want to re-create the PDF from the original Word document because I has already spent all this time renaming my fields, and determining the calculations. Here's what I've done: Before posting, I tried & tried to get things to work, including the formulas & the TouchUp Text tool, and my eyes were hurting & I was tired & frustrated. The TouchUp Text Tool is not the subject of this discussion, I only bring it up in case it is related in some bizarre way.) It did before sporadically if I tried again & again, but I have not been able to get any results in the last 15 attempts, so I think it's dead now. Please help!(Also, have no idea if this is at all related, but the TouchUp Text tool does not work at all now. So I went in and just retyped it with some additional spaces, so now it equals Field1 * 115. (frickin pain in the ***.) Anyway, that worked, but now Field2, which should not have been affected, would not work. If (this.getField("LtRfg1").value != "Off") If (this.getField("Core2").value != "Off") If (this.getField("Gas1").value != "Off")

If (this.getField("Core1").value != "Off")

After hours of digging through forums & grabbing what bits of JavaScript I could find, Field1 was then recalculated through a custom script (Note the field names below are what the checkboxes are actually named): This worked great in Acrobat 8 Pro, but the fields would not calculate in Reader.Īttempt 2: Checkboxes were left as they were. Field2 (using Simplified Field Notation) was calculated as Field1*115.

Field1 was calculated as the sum of CheckboxA + CheckboxB +. Field2 = Field1 * 115 (at $115 per class, Field2 calculates total tuition due).Īttempt 1: Each checkbox was set to an export value of 1. Field1 should be the sum of all the checked boxes. Each class has a checkbox next to it, let's call them CheckboxA - CheckboxF. Interested students can take (for the purpose of this discussion) 1 - 6 classes. Scenario: I have 6 class options available.
