Question

Getting Nan

  • December 21, 2023

I have added a simple script to multiple a given number by the value in Field1 as follows:

 

event.value = Number(this.getField("Field1").valueAsString)*59.95;

 

This returns a Nan when I enter the value in Field1.

I'm a bit of a javascript hack but I can't see anything wrong with the above script. Can anyone please help debug it.

    The first thing to do is to find out what is being returned by 

    this.getField("Field1").valueAsString

     

    Add this code to the top of the calculation script. 

    console.println("Value:" + this.getField("Field1").valueAsString);

     

    Add a new value to Field1 and then open the console to see the result.

      Thanks Thom
      Console returns value: 10 (which is the value I tried)
      ...but this was on my late model Mac with latest software. I found that the form works fine on this platform, but on an older iPad Air it returns the Nan value. Unfortunately there's no console on the iPad version of PDF reader Pro I am using.
