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?

  • 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.

  • JavaScript to calculate the average of a column

    I have my PDF file I'm trying to calculate the average in a column of fields.

    My problem is that there are 7 areas, but all 7 can be omitted, so I think I need some sort of statement 'if' that would only count the number of fields containing values.  Then, somehow working in the rest of my calculation...

    That's what I have so far...

    (function () {}

    Get all the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = + getField("column.0").value;
    var v2 = + getField("column.1").value;

    var v3 = + getField("column.2").value;

    var v4 = + getField("column.3").value;

    V5 var = + getField("column.4").value;

    var V6 = + getField("column.5").value;

    v7 var = + getField("column.6").value;

    var V8 = + getField("column.7").value;

    Calculate the result and the value of this field
    Event.Value = (v1 + v2 + v3 + v4 + v5 + v6 + v7) / the number of fields that have been filled;

    })();

    I'm pretty new to javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    First of all, I woul write this function withou field reference to make it more universal, and then I have a funcion of document level so it could be used more than once in a PDF document and easily put into another PDF file.

    function Avg() {}
    average computer of the last non-empty field names
    var sum = 0; sum of the fields
    var number = 0; meter for non-empty fields
    for (i = 0; i< arguments.length;="" i++)="">
    iField var = arguments [i]; get the element of arguments passed
    var fField = this.getField(arguments[i]).value;
    If (!) isNaN (fField)))) {}
    field is a number
    If (fField.ToString ()! = ") {}
    field is not null or empty
    sum += Number (fField); Add to the sum
    Count ++; County of increment
    } / / do not blank end
    } / / end of number
    } / / end of loop iterative arguments
    If (count! = 0) {}
    calculate the average if there is one or more items on average
    to return the sum / count; Returns the average
    } else {}
    return ";
    } / / no end no average calculated
    } / / end of function Avg

    Your custom calculation script would then become:

    Event.Value = Avg ("column. 0', 'column.1', 'column.2', 'column.3', 'column.4', 'column.5', 'column.6', 'column.7');

  • Calculate the average over the last 12 months

    Hello

    I am trying to calculate the average value per customer and per month from and including the month and 12 months back

    for example: 1 January 12 = average (agreed_rate) & (process_rate) average from February 1st, 11 'and 1st January 12'.
    February 1, 12 = average (agreed_rate) & (process_rate) average of 1 March 11 'and 1 February 12'
    March 1, 12 = average (agreed_rate) & (process_rate) average of 1 April 11 'and 1st March 12' etc.

    create table (test)
    cust_num varchar2 (5).
    month, date, time,
    number of agreed_rate
    number of process_rate);

    insert into test values ("A001", January 1, 11 ', 87, 65);
    insert into test values ("A001", February 1, 11 ', 56, 62);

    The results should be displayed per month (like the example above) and cust_num.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    You must go to the current line, that is included as twelfths a form 11 months.
    If you round the result is 67,42 67,41 rather than. This is the result on all the cust_num.
    If you want to the result for each customer comment just the partiton of clause.

    SELECT      cust_num, month, agreed_rate
    ,      round (sum (agreed_rate) OVER ( --PARTITION BY  cust_num
                                    ORDER BY month
                       RANGE
                       INTERVAL '11' month
                       preceding
                       ) / 12,2) AS avg_agreed_rate
    FROM       test
    ORDER BY  month
    

    Partition on cust_num

    SELECT      cust_num, month, agreed_rate
    ,      round (sum (agreed_rate) OVER ( PARTITION BY  cust_num
                                    ORDER BY month

    This can help you

    Assuming you data in a table named 'Data' and the information is summarised in another table (right) named "Summary".

    Select cell B1 in the summary table and then type (or copy and paste from here):

    = SUMIF(Data::C,a1,Data::B) ÷COUNTIF (Data::C, a1)

    shortcut for this is:

    B1 = SUMIF(Data::C,a1,Data::B) ÷COUNTIF (Data::C, a1)

    Select cell B1, copy

    Select column B, paste

  • Calculate the average value

    the data that I measured changed quickly, so I want to get the average value of the data

    Don't tell me to use mean.vi, I already know.

    and I got an idea that is to add data in a table every time, then the sum of all value data and take the line of result by the number of items

    but I don't know how to do this, anyone can build a simple vi to show me? Thank you

    I enclose my vi that uses mean.vi to the average value of calc, you can remove it and help in your path, thank you!

    Do not add your data in a table that grows forever. What a waste of RAM. To calculate the average, you only need to sum and N.

    Here is a simple code to accumulate the sum of the values in a shift register and divide by the number of add operations.

  • Calculate the average of a report by column

    Hello ~
    I have several reports in several areas on a page. I have columns for the time, count, Total and average. I'm trying to understand how to calculate the average for the data that is displayed. For example:

    By time

    Time count Total average
    2 2 4
    5-2-10
    10-3-30

    -----
    17 7 44 6.2857


    What is happening now is that the app is on average each line first and then adding the middle column. Is there anyway to average the totals and not the lines?

  • 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);

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

    LowerLeft: 170; 850

    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)?

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

  • Change options of text fields PDF form open in the PLAYER on a Mac.

    I created a PDF using Adobe X PRO form. All fields are DISABLED for the Options/Properties / "scroll long text. I save and distribute the form as a "reader extended pdf/activate additional features' so can be saved and returned using the PLAYER.

    When a Mac user opens the form in Adobe READER, ALL text fields change to scroll. When he returned the form for me, each text field, signing even and fields date, are modified to scroll the text.

    What happens during the transition from PC to MAC?

    Preview is the default on Mac PDF Viewer. It should never be used with PDF Forms. Let them know that they must use Adobe Reader. Provide a link or a URL where it can be downloaded and let them know that it's free.

    There are things you can do to make it work not in the preview, but it's some scripts. If you are interested in this approach, post again.
