I've created a fillable form and the section where I have calculations for $ the formatting doesn't work for the user. The formula's work but the dollars and cents formatting does not.

In the fields where you want the content formatted as currency, right click on the field and choose properties. Click on the Format button at the top of the dialog and choose Number from the "Select format category" drop-down menu. Choose the appropriate decimal places and choose the desired currency symbol.

Thanks Chad. I did this and it looks correct for me but when other users fill it in, the $ and decimals go away. I did try to change the font thinking that may have something to do with it but that did not work either.

Question… When a user is filling out this form, are they attempting to do so through a web browser? This could cause the formatting to not appear properly. They need to open the PDF in Acrobat or Reader in order for the formatting to display properly.
