Calculated fields don't update after changes are made

Categories: Windows

Hi, I am having trouble with calculated fields updating. Here is what I have:

Field a + field b = calculated field c

Field d + field e = calculated field f

Then I have another calculated field (call it field g) to add up field c and f. At first it works fine, but if you change what was input in a b d or e, it doesn't update the calculation in field g.

Thanks

The field calculation order is probably not correct. How you set it depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:

Acrobat 9: Forms > Add or Edit Fields, then: Forms > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order

Acrobat 10: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615 109794195ff-7de2.w.html

Set it to what makes sense for your form.
