I am creating a form using PDF Professional 4.2 and trying to muliply multiple Text Field Box's by a percentage. The calculation for the Total box is (Text57 + Text58 + Text59 - Text60 + Text61 - Text62)* Text63. I've changed the format of Text63 to be a percent but when I enter 10 for 10% it changes it to 1,000%. How can I get this to work?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 5.x or older

You need to enter the decimal value for the percent. 10% is actually 0.10. This is the answer from the division that computes the value for the percentage display. This is no different than how percentages work in MS Excel.
