Original form made in Microsoft Word with tables for layout.  After adding all of the calculations everything works in preview but when saved with reader extended and more tools the calculations won't work.  Everything else in the form works but this.  I have price x qnty = sub total for 12 items with the sub totals added up for a grand total...works in preview but not when saved.  What is wrong with this form?

When it works in Adobe Acrobat it will also work in Acrobat Reader.

The calculations function if you Preview (Acrobat Pro 2020).  They do not work in Acrobat Reader or Pro once the form is saved using Save As Other>Reader Extended PDF>Enable more tools.. 

This is what I have setup for the calculations under Simplified Field Notation APowerCord*AQnty Go To points to ASub for subtotal and then each subtotal is added to create the grand total which was also done with Simpified Field Notation.

The calculations don't work in Acrobat, either. Something went wrong in the file. You need to re-apply them.

Also, there's no need to save the file with the Reader Extended Rights.
