Convert Numbers to Words in Acrobat Forms

[Denise231736656aic]

I was able to get this to work for forms using this javascript: Keep in mind that if the field is a number, you need to put the proper input name: Number or String. It will not calculate correctly if it is the wrong input.

var strNumber = Number(this.getField("Field1").value) + 
                Number(this.getField("Field2").value) ;

var nNumber = Number(strNumber);

event.value = ConvertToWords(nNumber);


function ConvertToHundreds(num) {    aTens = ["Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety"];    aOnes = ["Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine",
        "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen",
        "Eighteen", "Nineteen"
    ];

    var cNum, nNum;
    var cWords = "";    num %= 1000;
    if (num > 99) {
        /* Hundreds. */        cNum = String(num);        nNum = Number(cNum.charAt(0));        cWords += aOnes[nNum] + " Hundred";        num %= 100;
        if (num > 0)            cWords += " and "
    }

    if (num > 19) {
        /* Tens. */        cNum = String(num);        nNum = Number(cNum.charAt(0));        cWords += aTens[nNum - 2];        num %= 10;
        if (num > 0)            cWords += "-";
    }
    if (num > 0) {
        /* Ones and teens. */        nNum = Math.floor(num);        cWords += aOnes[nNum];
    }
    return cWords;
}

function ConvertToWords(num) {
    var aUnits = ["Thousand", "Million", "Billion", "Trillion", "Quadrillion"];
    var cWords = (num >= 1 && num < 2) ? "Dollar and " : "Dollars and ";
    var nLeft = Math.floor(num);
    for (var i = 0; nLeft > 0; i++) {
        if (nLeft % 1000 > 0) {
            if (i != 0)                cWords = ConvertToHundreds(nLeft) + " " + aUnits[i - 1] + " " + cWords;
            else                cWords = ConvertToHundreds(nLeft) + " " + cWords;
        }        nLeft = Math.floor(nLeft / 1000);
    }    num = Math.round(num * 100) % 100;
    if (num > 0)        cWords += ConvertToHundreds(num) + " Cents";
    else        cWords += "Zero Cents";
    return cWords;
}

You don't need to reinvent the wheel, download this great example file provided with Acrobat 5:

https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:1b3599dd-a5db-4070-8d8c-2408b0f6f0f0

All you need is inside.

When writing words, the word "and" takes the place of a decimal. This check would be written incorrectly using your code. Additionally, I am trying to figure out how to put in the comma to separate the millions and thousands text without adding it after "hundred" as well. Can you update this code or provide a work-around?

[JR Boulay]

"great example file provided with Acrobat 5" : this mean that it's not "my" code.

"the word "and" takes the place of a decimal"

What do you expect instead?

Thank you this is very helpful. I'm trying to figure out how to omit "dollars" text, when there are only cents. For example, $0.90 should read as "Ninety Cents", but currently reads as "Dollars and Ninety Cents".

Replace this line of code:

var cWords = (num >= 1 && num < 2) ? "Dollar and " : "Dollars and ";

With:

   var cWords = "";
   if (num>=1 && num<2) 
	   cWords = "Dollar and ";
   else if (num>=2) 
	   cWords = "Dollars and ";

Perfect, thank you for the help!

!Edit the script to work with other currencies
!e.g. change from 'twenty-one cents' to 'point two one'
