Question

I am filling out 'calculated' fields on a mobile device and it is not doing the automatic caluclation as it does on the Computer?

I am currently preparing a PDF and I have added fields that have automatic calculation so when certain fields have input it calculates a figure at the end this all works ok on the computer when I complete it but when I then send it to a user on a mobile device the automatic calculation doesn't seem to work?

Hi Stephanie,

The calculation of form fields in PDF make use of JavaScript. Acrobat DC on mobile devices has limited supported for JavaScript in forms.

Please refer:

JavaScript for Acrobat Reader Mobile API Reference (Android)

Thanks,

Abhishek

Thank you, Do you no if there is an alternative to enable the mobile device to calculate in the PDF?
