Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie creating a pdf form.

I need the exact script for a complex formula to input into the custom calculation script box in acrobat.

Dobois BSA formula 0.007184 * (height ^ 0.725 * weight ^ 0.425)
I have height and weight in separate fields.

Thanks

var height = this.getField("height").value;var weight = this.getField("weight").value;if (height!=null && height!="" && weight!=null && weight!="") {event.value = 0.007184 * (Math.pow(height, 0.725) * Math.pow(weight , 0.425));} else event.value = "";

You might want to look at [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/form_calculations]How to do (not so simple) form calculations[/url] by Thom Parker and [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/En/JavaScript]Mozilla Developer JavaScript[/url] for JavaScirpt reference. Also the O'Rielly book on JavaScirpt could be helpful.
