I have been getting useful information on this topic but being a new user of the adobe 9 pro I am having difficulty doing a calculation script for calculating percentages. I have a sample below of what I would require:
1. Gross DIRECT premiums in respect of PROPERTY
Insurance (less return premiums and cancellations) $
2.DEDUCTIONS:
(a) Credits Allowed to subscribers $
(b) Creditor involuntary unemployment insurance $
(c) Other (please detail) ………………………… $
TOTAL deductions: $
3. TOTAL taxable premiums (Deduct item 2 from item 1) $
4. Tax payable at 1.25% of item 3 $
I would need to calculate the 1.25% of item 3 since I have already done a script for deducting item 3 from item 1.
I am thinking that somebody has already provided me with the information I need but I am just not grasping it. I think I am missing something somewhere.
Please bear with me.
Unlike Excel Acrobat forms calculate fields in the order created, and not left to right and then down like a spreadsheet. Are the fields calculating in the expected order?
It appears you are having a problem with cutting and pasting the script, and then trying to edit the script to match your form. If you are trying to change the name of field, the field name needs to be between quotation marks and they must be a matched pair of the same type of quotation marks. Also they need to be the very plain ones from NotePad or other simple text editor. Not MS Word's smart quotation marks.
