Dynamic PDF formular

Hello, 

 

I've created a PDF formular file with an input field and when the person enter the price then other fields are going to be calculated using the entered number. Everything is working in my Acrobat DC PRO but when I send the file to another person without paid adobe subscription, then the person can enter the number but the brutto and netto fields are not calculating / updating. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Or only people with DC PRO become the calculation?

 

Best wishes and thanks in advance

Be sure that the "another person" uses Acrobat Reader or a PDF reader that supports AcroForms.

Wie meinen Sie das Herr Alheit?


It's not enough to download the application. You have to make sure they're actually using it to open the PDF file.

Ask them for full-window screenshots if it's not working.

The calculation will also work in the free Acrobat Reader.

Ok, but it's not. Does Adobe needs then an Java installation or something else.... ?
