calculations

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a PDF form where multiple fields depend on calculations from others. The problem I'm running into is that some fields don’t update immediately or seem to calculate in the wrong order, causing delays or incorrect intermediate values.

To change field calculation order in old acrobat:
Select 'Prepare form' tool, click 'More' then 'Set field calculation order'.

In new Acrobat:
Select 'Prepare form' tool, click on the 3 dots (the ones where say 'fields') and select 'Set field calculation order'.
