I am new to Adobe acrobat Pro and designing a form. I have fields which are calculated by multiplying two fields. I dont want it to display or print if the valve is zero. how do i go about it?

Please help

    With a form created in Acrobat, you can use the custom validation script to set the field value to a null string when the calculated value is zero or you would need to write a custom validation script.

     

    // set value to null if event value is zero

    if(event,value ==0) event.value = "";

    Many thanks for that. Please forgive me I am new to this.  However when I insert the validation script

    if(event,value ==0) event.value = "";

     

    I still continue to display 0 in the field instead of a blank

    essentially the field C is a product of A and B and I want the field C not to display/print any 0 if no value is entered.

    There's a typo: 'event,value' should be 'event.value'

     

    if(event.value ==0) event.value = "";
