I am trying to get a simple time calculation to work on my PDF form. I am just wanting to created a time difference between and estimated amout of time (i.e. 1:45) and the actual time (i.e. 2:03)... The result should simply display :18. I am not getting any of the simple formulas to work.

Thanks

You'll need to use a JavaScript script to be able to calculate that difference between hours, minutes, and/or seconds.
