number to text logic error in PDF form

Most likely the field calculation order is incorrect. Go into Forms mode (Forms > Add or Edit Fields) and select "Forms > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order", and set it to what makes sense for your form.

Thanks for the quick respond.

I'ld try this & set the field accordingly, but same effect, still delayed,hope anyone can help me,


Many thanks in advance

In what field and in what event (e.g., the Calculate event of the Total field) does the code get triggered?

here is the script in total amount field,

var a = this.getField("TOTALRow1"); // My 1st field
var b = this.getField("TOTALRow2"); // My 2nd field
var c = this.getField("TOTALRow3"); // My 3rd field
var d = this.getField("TOTALRow4"); // My 4th field
var e = this.getField("TOTALRow5"); // My 5th field
var f = this.getField("TOTALRow6"); // My 6th field
var g = this.getField("TOTALRow7"); // My 7th field
var h = this.getField("TOTALRow8"); // My 8th field
var i = this.getField("TOTALRow9"); // My 9th field
var j = this.getField("TOTALRow10"); // My 10th field
// using the Additional unity identity
event.value = (1 * a.value) +((1 * b.value) +(1 * c.value) +(1 * d.value) +(1 * e.value)
+(1 * f.value) +(1 * g.value) +(1 * h.value) +(1 * i.value) +(1 * j.value));
if (event.value==0) event.value="";

What about the code that generates the words, where and when is it triggered?

here's the triggered.

var f = this.getField("TOTAL AMOUNT");
event.value = ConvertToWords(f.value);

Make sure that the field that shows the number in words is calculated AFTER the total amount in numbers.

thanks try67.

the number in words is calculating automatic, the only thing is, there is logic error, I cant really figure out what i missed.

I just new in scripting.

hope someone can help me in this matter.

Thanks in advance.....

Like I expected, the field calculation order is wrong.
Here's how to fix it:
- Go to Forms - Edit form in Acrobat
- Go (again) to Forms - Edit Fields - Set Field Calculation Order
- Move the field called "amount in words" below "TOTAL AMOUNT".
- Click OK.

thanks try67.

what I'am setting is in the tab order only... now i saw the calculation order..


2 Thumbs up....


thanks.
