Hi,
I'm trying to prepare a simple pdf with some calculation among fields but every field applies the calculation only after is filled the next.
Following example shows that the last total is not updated
Thank you
Enrico

You need to set the fields calculation order correctly, via Tools - Prepare Form - More - Set Fields Calculation Order.

Hi @try67 and all,
I come back to you for an other problem.
If I open the pdf file with calculations by browser plugin (Firefox), when I write something in the first field, compare 1€ on all the calculated fields.
Is it a bug of the plugin or my fault?
thank you

Make sure the fields have unique names. If they do, it's a bug of the plugin.

I would like to update the steps as the menus have changed as of Jun 2024.
- Under All Tools select Prepare a Form from the menu. (you might have to click "View more" to see it)
- Now on the right side of your screen, you should see the Fields panel, click the Three Dots button for "options"
- This is where the Set Field Calculation Order is now located.
I've attached screen shots for reference.

I am sharing this b/c I want to see if anyone else out there has experienced using Adobe ProDC forms with extensive formulas not working when you send the file to someone else. Well, this is what I've found since the "Cloud" has been in extensive use by folks. I develop lots of Adobe Pro Dc forms with extensive formulas. If this file is sent from the Cloud/Google Drive/One Drive, the formulas do not work correctly *and* if the file is retrieved from Cloud/Google Drive/One Drive, the formulas will NOT work correctly. However, if the file is saved/sent from your hard drive to another and the other party uses the form file from their hard drive, there are NO problems whatsoever and all the formulas work fine. So what's the deal on this? What is going on with Adobe Pro DC formulas seeming not being compatible with the Cloud/Google Drive/One Drive? We know this is the issue, because we have tested it by asking others to NOT open the file or save the file in the Cloud/Google Drive/One Drive then use the form and it worked FINE. Happens when these forms are sent, retrieved, or saved to the Cloud/Google Drive/One Drive. Formulas do not work correctly. Why is this happening? Thanks.

The main question is what PDF plugin is used to view the files in the browser. If it's the Adobe one, then it should work. If it's anything else, all bets are off. There's nothing you (or Adobe) can do about that, though. You can only instruct the people using the form to save it locally and then open it in Adobe Reader for best results.
