PDF field form calculation not calculating | Adobe Acrobat Pro

Community Beginner ,
May 02, 2023 May 02, 2023

I’m hoping someone can help me with this PDF calculation issue.

 

I have this Interactive form where Box A and Box D are supposed to multiply and populate into Box E 

 

Box B multiplies with Box C to populate Box D, of which that is correctly calculating. 

 

The formula is there, because when anyone goes back and adjusts the number in Box A after we’ve tabbed through the first time around THEN it updates Box E, but not before.

 

I'm using the 'Simple Field Notation' option (example: Box A*Box D).

Select 'Prepare form' tool, then click on 'More' and then 'Set field calculation order'.

Make sure fields that calculate first are on top of the list.

Where can I find that? I've seen that on forums as a solution and have yet to find that option on my version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.
