How do I stop acrobat pro from rounding a calculation in a form? For example I have a field that is two other fields multiplied and it is auto rounding up. How do I stop that?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, Windows

You need to investigate it some to see what is causing the rounding. Look on the Action, Validation,and Calculate tabs and see if there is any script on any of them. If so, that may be where the rounding script is.

If you find some scripts there, you can post the script(s) here for us to help you with the scripting.

The display format is automatically rounded but the result is not in Acrobat and if you change the format for the result field, you will see the unrounded result.

LiveCycle Designer is different and you need to set the Edit and Display formats for the number of decimal places for input and the number to display for output for the input fields.
