Question

PDF document with calculated fields does not calculate in iOS.

I have created a PDF form that also contains calculated fields. I have stored the calculations there in JavaScript.

Now several people with iOS devices have the problem that after entering values in normal form fields, the associated calculated fields do not calculate and thus remain empty.

To solve this, I tried to open the form in Acrobat Reader on the devices or to activate JavaScript in the settings. Unfortunately, this does not help.

 

Can you help me?

Hello,

the problem does not occur on all iOS devices.
Downloaded free version of Acrobat Reader from Apple Store and ran the form on it.

Could it be related to the iOS or macOS version?
Do I need the paid version of Acrobat Reader?

Thank your for your answers.

May be that it will work when you use a other PDF viewer.

Acrobat Reader on iOS or Android doesn't support all JavaScript features.

Hello,

Has anyone seen a PDF calculator, my co workder had it in her tools section under PDF Flyer, it popped up, she started adding and subtracting then she took her results and cut and pasted it in her PDF report. Please let me know if it is a third party tool? Thank you.
