• PDF form field calculates the AVERAGE incorrectly

  I have a PDF form field which is defined to calculate the AVERAGE of the other 4 fields. Each of these other areas has its validation configured to allow only the values from 1 to 3.
  
  The average field is dividing the total by 4, even if a person completes only 2 fields. I thought THAT AVERAGE would count only the fields that have a value in them. But it is to see which ones are empty as containing a 0, even if it is an invalid value for this field.
  
  How can I fix? The client really wants to have up to 4 fields and an average of only those that are filled. I thought it was what average was supposed to do.
  
  Is there a way to tell Acrobat to ignore fields if their value is less than 1?

• How to edit PDF form fields after registration

  I am very new for PDF forms and thought I was getting better.  I'm create forms of Word documents and need to make frequent changes to the PDF form after that I have recorded because I'm still learning.  I thought I read somewhere that you should be able to change the properties of a field after saving a copy, but that did not work.  I forgot to uncheck "Ahmed multi field" and the need to set in my text boxes but I can't change.  I continue to recreate the formula over and over again on the Word doc.

  Hi Ally1286,

  Save a copy, it is required to change the form when you have distributed the form or registered as a Reader extended PDF. In this case, if you want to add scrolling functionality to a tool to "Prepare the form" field then go in (in DC) to the title of the Toolbox on the right.

  

  On this screen, select the file and click Start. Double-click on the field and go to the 'Options' tab check the appropriate box.

  Let me know if it works for you.

• PDF form field rectangle on the page coordinates

  Hello

  recently I came across a PDF file that had a form field (text) with the following rectangle:

  LowerLeft: 170; 850

  Superieurdroit: 475; 862

  The page itself was: 595; 841 while that MediaBox = CropBox = BleedBox = area of crop.

  The coordinate y is off the page so to speak.

  The Adobe reader displays the field at the top of the page, but within the limits of the top page.

  Maybe it than correct/fix it?

  My question is:

  1.) is this compatible pdf specification? (I did a quick search but couldn't find something about it)

  2.) is that PDF/A-1 compliant (if that makes a difference)?

  Thank you

  ToM

  Yes, negative coords are perfectly valid.   Do not forget that those related to the MediaBox, which should not be journalAGOS to (0,0)

• Remove or disable the duplication of value for the PDF form field

  Hello

  How can I remove or disable replication of field value in a PDF form? Say, if you enter the address on a single page, it is duplicated at the address on another page. For some reason whoever created this form, made a mistake of linking to the wrong field. Say so a management office address is bound to the address of the owner.

  We have acrobat 8 and the latest version X.

  Thank you

  Make sure that the fields do not have the same name.

• More than 100 in a PDF form fields

  I exported an interactive PDF from InDesign CS5. This file makes heavy use of the buttons, which appear as "form fields" when I 'Examiner the Document' Pro-Reader 9.4.0.

  The problem is: when there are 101 or more form fields in a PDF document, reader prompts users to the opening of "Please fill out the following form.» [etc.] "even if the fields of the form are not what the user can fill (these are objects interactive display/hide). It is NOT this way if there are 100 or less form fields.

  Is there a way to get around this? By asking users to fill out the form, it implies to them that there is something to fill in when there is no, and it feels broken.

  Thank you.

  Bob

  If all you have are buttons, then safely, you can apply the security of the document and set the permissions do not allow to fill the fields of the form. The buttons still work, but users won't get the forms message bar.

• How to create a script for the calculation of the VO2max using text on a pdf form field values.

  I'm trying to create a script that calculates the VO2max based on user input in several text fields.

  My form is set up so that the user can enter values in the 4 fields of text:

  1 weight = weight in kilograms

  2. age = age in years

  3 time = time to walk 1 mile in decimal

  4. the heart rate (HR) = heart rate recovery immediately after you have finished walking 1 mile

  The VO2max equation that I use is:

  VO2max = 132.853 - (0.1692 * weight)-(0.3877 * Age) + (6,315) - (3.2649 * time)-(0.1565 * HR)

  After the user enters values in 4 text fields, I want the text of VO2max field automatically calculate the above equation and display the result to the user so that the user doesn't have to get all those numbers into a calculator.

  Any suggestions on how to write the script?

  Assuming that your domain names are what you entered in the formula, you can use the simplified field notation:

  132.853 - (0.1692 * weight)-(0.3877 * Age) + (6,315) - (3.2649 * time)-(0.1565 * HR)

  If you want the value to display only after al the data fields are complete you need to use a JavaScript calculation:

  function GetField (cName) {}
  oField var = this.getField (cName);
  if(oField == null) app.alert ("field of error for access to the" cName + "\nPlease verify the name of the field.", 1, 0 ");
  return oField;
  }

  var weight = GetField ("Weight");
  var Age is GetField ("Age");.
  var time = GetField ("Time");
  var h = GetField ("HR");

  Event.Value = "";
  If (Weight.value! = 0 & Age.value! = 0 & Time.value! = 0 & HR.value! = 0) {}
  Event.Value = 132.853 - (0.1692 * Weight.value)-(0.3877 * Age.value) + (6,315) - (3.2649 * Time.value)-(0.1565 * HR.value);
  }

• Total value in a PDF form fields

  Acrobat Pro 9.4.1.

  Have been using a form with 14 fields of value (number, £, 2 decimal places) and a total field which is the (+) sum of 14 values - absolutely well brought.

  I changed the first 3 values so that everyone is now the (x) product of two quantities - for example

  Qty 10 x qty £1 giving the value of field £10.00

  Qty 5 x qty £5 giving the value of field £25.00

  Qty. 8 x qty £10 giving the value of field £80.00

  value total £115.00

  So for each the first quantity (in bold) is variable and is filled in by the client, while quantity second, £1, £5 and £10 is invisible read-only. The calculation works everywhere give me each field value, but after line 3 that the total field below does not include the value for the calculation of £10, but for this, if I select another field tabs on the form which is after the total value field in the tab order. This has not happened before that on the original form - total was instant and has happened, once a value has been entered in each of the first 3 values.

  The only thing that has changed is that these values are now the product of two quantities (x).

  Any ideas.

  The most likely cause is that the field calculation order is incorrect. Set it so it makes sense for your form. In Acrobat 9, go in form editing mode and select "forms > edit fields > set field calculation stopped... '. »

• PDF form coming in the e-mail, but no form fields are filled

  I want to open a full PDF file and not an XML file which is sent when someone fills out a form online.  So, I made a document in Word, saved as a PDF, and then imported into LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  From there on, I created the fields in the form, add a button for the email out because the stock e-mail button does not work properly from what I've read (change the command send, add the e-mail address and change submitted as a PDF file) and save the document.  I then have an open document in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.  Go to advanced and choose enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  Then save this file under a new name.  Then I can the PDF by e-mail to someone or put it on my site.

  Here's the problem:

  When someone fills out the form, it will automatically send automatically to the correct mailbox (good).  The PDF file opens and the PDF form looks like that I designed this (good).  But all form fields that have been filled... nothing appears. all I see is my PDF (bad) form.  I tried at least a dozen ways over the past two days to create the PDF... but when the received PDF file is opened later, none of the form fields are visible with what someone types in.

  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I'm not good at Adobe, but I'm learning.  I can understand most of the things, but this problem is driving me crazy.

  Thank you!

  Thr default iOS or iAnything PDF Viewer does not support on a PDF form fields.

  Without knowledge of the programs and specific systems, it is difficult to answer.

  Overview programme Apple on Macintosh systems is known to have problems with the form, and it corrupts form fields insofar as they do not display the data unless the user is in the field. It is also know to make simple PDFs unreadable.

  There could also be problems with various mail programs because PDF forms contain binary data and not simple text.

• Equivalent 'Field of the Image' LiveCycle in the creation of InDesign PDF form?

  LiveCycle has a PDF form field called "field of the Image. We add this field to the PDF files that we create so that our users can select and upload a JPEG image in their PDF with Adobe Reader.

  Now, we would like to use InDesign to produce the same files in PDF form as an alternative to the use of LiveCycle. InDesign has a form like 'Field of the Image' field of the LiveCycle? We have not yet found.

  In other words, does anyone know in InDesign create a field in the PDF forms that has the same 'Field of the Image' features of LiveCycle? LiveCycle field works in Adobe Reader enabled files and allows the JPEG format, among other things.

  Thank you

  Kevin

  P.S. We discovered a way to create PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with similar functionality using JavaScript, but Acrobat Pro created documents only allow Adobe Reader to import PDFs, no JPEG or other image formats. If Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was not a viable alternative to LiveCycle to create our PDF files. We would like to know if we rule out InDesign, too.

  As Peter says it has no way to do this using InDesign.

• How can I read a PDF form with c# code. Can someone please help with the snippet of code or documentation.

  My requirement is to read the full user of PDF form fields using c# code.

  Any code snippet or a document will help.

  Thank you

  OK, Acrobat and the Acrobat SDK kit are not for the server. But Alice has produced s called LiveCycle business that had a Java API. This can help. It's enterprise software and not the same as LiveCycle Designer. There is also the Adobe PDF Library, which is C++.

• try to sign a pdf form on an Android tablet - can see the icon of the sign, but gray - why?

  PDF form fields - signature field does NOT work. Tried the same forms on iPhone and iPad - they work fine. Can see the icon 'sign' in the drop-down list of observations, but it is grayed out - why?

  On android devices, open the file in Acrobat Reader DC app. Then click on observer at the top left. Since the navigation panel, select the fill & sign and sign the document by typing in the location desired on the document.

  On android devices it will not show the Signature field.

  PDF forms are submitted to a URL, still something that HTML forms are subject to a URL. It is an action that put you on a button.

  With HTML forms, you can only apply to HTML. You can also do with the PDF and the back-end can be quite similar except that you not return HTML, because the reader do not understand.

  However, it is normal to choose one of the other formats of FDF or XFDF. These are the same as the formats that you can export as part of the management of the form, and you should get comfortable with before submitting form data export/import.

  There are libraries in order to analyze the FDF. XFDF is XML, if use you standard XML analysis techniques. In a new application, go with XFDF.
