Hello all - In Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac, I have created a form with over 100 calculating fields. I have set the calculation as a document level script, and everything works fine...until I complete the form, and then go back and change a value. When I do that, it does not automatically update the calculated form. I have a reset button, which of course clears the form entirely - but can someone advise me how to set it up so that if just one field is changed, that field's calculated result updates?

I was thinking that putting the calculation script at the document level avoided the issue of field calculation order, but am I wrong? Could this be the problem?

thanks,
Jayne

It is probably a problem caused by field calculation order. The best order may not be easy to determine if there are lots of calculations on your form. I would suggest that you search this forum for posts having to do with "calculation order" so that you can determine how to make the calc order work correctly. I am not familiar with Acrobat in Mac, but in Acrobat 9 in Windows, the place to set the calculation order is Form > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order.

Adobe Acrobat is a family of computer programs developed by Adobe Systems, designed to view, create, manipulate and manage files in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).[1] Some software in the family, particularly the creating software, is commercial, and some is freeware. Adobe Reader (formerly Acrobat Reader) is available as a no-charge download from Adobe's web site, and allows the viewing and printing of PDF files.[2] Acrobat and Reader are widely used as a way to present information with a fixed layout similar to a paper publication.

Try to unsinstall or reinstall your software.
