PDF Form Calculations not updating

Hi,

I have a PDF form which has quite a large number of simple and javascript calculations within it.

I have found that alot of the time, only some or very few of the calculations will run.

For example, I have Field 1, 2 and 3 each with there on calculations.

Then i have Field 4, which is the sum of Field 1, 2 and 3.

Field 1,2 and 3 will work fine but Field 4 will not update and display the sum alot of the time. Sometimes it will, sometimes it wont.

 

Is there a known fix? Thankyou

It's probably an issue with the field calculation order. My personal best-practice is to put all of the calculations into a single hidden field so that the calculations occur in the order I determine.
