Forms

Hi
Not sure if I can explain my problem clearly enough but here goes.

I have a row (the row is contained in a subform called "Item"), this row contains 4 numeric fields. These are called
"ProjectTotal"
"EstimatedCost"
"Reimbursment" (which is a needs to be a percentage) and
"Total"

The "Total" field needs to run a scipt which will calculate the "ProjectTotal" by the "Reimbursement" field (eg. $10,000 x 30%) and the "EstimatedCost" by the "Reimbursement" field.

The amount that appears in the "Total" field must be the lesser amount of the two equations.

I need to be sure that when I add a new line (when I click on my "Add Row" button) that the newly created "Total" field doesn't read from the previous row but recognizes the new data on the new row. I hope this makes sense.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Michael

There is an example of how calculate the sum of fields nested inside a repeating subform at:

Is there an example for calculating subtotal per page in repeating rows?

I am having a heck of a time with a form I designed in Adobe Acrobat 9. It has a number of checkboxes in rows (20 rows of checkboxes, each row named the same but with different export values).

I was able to easily make a total box with Adobe Acrobat where, when the box was checked (or "on") the export value was used in the overall total. When all the rows were completed I had a total "score".

Since I want to be able to use this in Reader I went to LiveCycle and imported the form (so I could then enable reader rights). Everything transferred fine, the calculation came over from Adobe in Javascript, but the total field no longer works? Is there some trick I am missing? I am VERY new to this so it is entirely possible, but it worked so nice in Acrobat?

Thanks

You don't need to develop your form in LiveCycle Designer just so it can be Reader-enabled. You can Reader-enable a form you've developed in Acrobat.
