Issue with pdf fillable forms

Post by docu-track99 »

Hello Tracker,

The attached two PDF files have built in calculations that update throughout the PDF file when a numbers are entered. This works with adobe but not if the PDF Viewer. Is this a known issue? Is a fix or work around available?

So this is a Viewer SDK issue ?

If so we need to move it to the Viewer SDK forum so the correct individual here can reply ...
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

These documents are dynamic XFA forms and some scripts in these forms are FormCalc scripts. This type of script is not supported in the Viewer.

You have to use our PDF-XChange Editor to get support for such forms - as you will know we are currently preparing our Editor SDK which will be available a little later this spring.

Hello Tracker,

We are using the PDF Viewer. Any chance of this fix going to be in viewer?

Hello docu-track99,

That's unlikely, as the XFA support in the Viewer was done quite differently and fixing issues in the Viewer is more complicated.
Also our devs are now pushing on making the Editor SDK ready.

Regards,
Stefan
