Please help...
I am new to creating forms using Acrobat. I am nearly finished however I have two calculations that need to execute and I am having difficulty.
 
Calculation 1:
Looking for value of Increase
Total_2 - Total_1 = Increase
 
I have entered Total_2 - Total_1 in the Simplied Field Notation edit box under Properties - but it is not working.
 
Calculation 2:
Looking for % Increase
(New_pay - Old_pay) / Old_pay
 
Distribution:
I am looking to distribute this form fillable with reader; which I have figured out. I do not want to store any of the data filled out on the form on a server or directory - is this possible?
 
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thank you

For the first, check to make sure that the field calculation order is set to something that makes sense for your form.

For the second, if the value of the "Old_pay" field can be blank or zero, you'll have to use JavaScript to make sure you don't attempt to divide by zero. Do a search here for "numerator" and "demoninator" for some further discussion on this and for some code you can use.
