Shortcut to recalculate

Microsoft Excel has a shortcut key F9 to recalculate all calculations. I cannot find this information anywhere so does Adobe Acrobat Forms have such a key to recalculate?

 

I have the setting to Autocalculate checked, but I am using an Android Tablet to enter the information into the form but not all JavaScript is working. Once the form is transfered to a PC I have to do something like uncheck a field and check it again to get the JavaScript to update or recalculate.

 

I was hoping to use the Action Wizard to go through all the forms to recalculate everyrhing.

Don't expect any scripts to work on a mobile device, especially not if you use Reader.

You say, not if you use Reader.

Is there another app for Android or iPad that will allow JaveScripts to work with Adobe forms?
