XML Source Code question

This is a processing instruction to LiveCycle designer and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't affect actual real time operation of the form. But I'm not too sure. Save a copy of the form and then delete all of these lines out of the XDP. Reload the form and turn it into a PDF, then see what happens.

I tried deleting these lines on a test form and didn't have any problems.

You're not the only one to have this issue a search on google turns up several unanswered complaints on other forums. And a search on

turns up even more interesting info.

It looks like this may be a bug, but it's definately a real problem.

Well, I had the sabe problem. I my case my form has 11 pages, and I was unable to see the XML source by clicking on the tab. Once I got the source, I saw about ONE million occurrences of this "<?templateDesigner SytleID aped3?> ". After I removed all these occurrences effectively the form become more fast when opening on Reader.

Calculations in an order form.
I am new to this so if I am not posting correctly please advise.
I am trying to set up an order form with a calculation.
text box 12= (to textbox 1 * 1.5) *.2
How do I complete this equation? I have tried both the simplified and the custom calculation options with no success.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Neil.....,

Assuming the field for entering a value is named TextBox1 (best practice is to use no spaces in field names) and the field with a calculated value is TextBox12, in the Calculate tab "Simplified Field Notation" for TextBox 12 enter
(TextBox1*1.5)*0.2

There are many great tutorials in the Learning Center here on basic Acrobat JavaScript. One is titled something like "Not So Basic Calculations in Acrobat" but since you are new to PDF forms you shoudl peruse all the titles for areas of interest in completing your form.

Hope this helps,
