Calculating time worked on adobe timesheet

Question

Hi,I'm trying to add a calculation into a form field to calculate the time worked (based on start and finish time) less break time:09:00   17:00   1:00   (time worked would be 7 hours)22:00   04:00   1:00   (time worked would be 5 hours)I've tried to follow other forums posted for similar things, however my Adobe calculation skills aren't very advanced! If this were excel I'd be fine.If someone could provide a custom validation script, I'd be extremely grateful!Thanks

Time calculations are not simple, but have been discussed on these forums many times. I suggest you try searching for them and I'll sure you'll find some good answers, including code samples. Keep in mind that what you need is a calculation script, not a validation one, though.

If you wish to learn how to work with the Date object in Acrobat, these tutorials offer an excellent starting point:

In addition, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to easily set up this kind of calculation.
