In Acrobat 8 Pro, Place Mulitple Fields had the expected effect of correctly incrementing a calculated field downward so the calculations for a line were incremented to match the line, .0, .1, .2 etc. This functionality was BROKEN in version 9 Pro so that the calculated fields merely duplicated the first line reference with a .0 appended; 30 calculated lines, 30 identical field references. I was told by customer support "that's how it works." I emphasized that was NOT how it worked in version 8. No promise to fix it, naturally. I hoped it would be fixed when I upgraded from CS3 to CS4. Nope, same broken version of Acrobat 9 between those two versions. Here we are at CS5.5 and Acrobat X Pro is STILL broken in this regard. My only question now is, "Will CS6 use the same version of Acrobat X Pro, or will there be a new broken version?"

Why has this bug not been fixed yet? A very important function that seriously compromises an otherwise excellent product.

Trying to explain this to the client that I can't get their new form to calculate the Regular Hours and Overtime Hours but they are NOT happy.

Same basic problem I need to have a simple calculated form. Not sure how to get this to work; how do I write this and where?  Row1Value * Row1Quantity, should be entered into the Row1Total. Then overall Total at the bottom of Col5.

I was told by Adobe Technical Support I would have to go into each row total (your example Row1Total.0 through .x after the Place Multiple Fields) and change the references to the appropriate line. Then your Col5 total would be accurate. To me this was Technical Support's way of saying, "Yes, it worked in version 8, but now you have to do it manually— and we're not going to fix it." If it could be handled by a JS, as some have implied, why not just (re)build it into the application? I don't know the answer to that, and Technical Support isn't saying.
