numeric field

[_Matthias_]

Hi,

I’ve got a numeric field which should show euros in this way:

In Acrobat Pro there’s no problem if you give in a number without decimals. Here I’ll get an error message instead of making the decimals automatically. ,00 becomes ignored. If I give in a number with 4 (Why is it important whether it is a number with 1, 2, 3 or more numeric?) numeric or more + decimals then the field shows me 0. If I give in, in the first step, a number with 4 numeric or more without the decimals it works and then put the decimals in a second step I’ll get the number without decimals. (But no 0!!!) Where’s the logic?

Thanks in advance for helping me!

Hi Matthias - I feel I could help you if your questions was worded a little more clearly - at the moment I understand your problem as follows:

you enter: 1     the field displays $1.00

you enter: 2     the field displays $2.00

you enter: 3     the field displays $3.00

you enter: 4     the field displays $4

you enter: 5     the field displays $5

is this a correct interpretation?

Hi Matthias,

Why don't you use the euro pattern? 1.234,21 €

When inputting values the numeric field will not recognise ",". This is set as a part of the display pattern and is inserted by Acrobat. So if the user inputted 1234.21 it would be displayed as 1.234,21 € automatically.

The display pattern you are currently using is likely to display 1,234.210.

You can also build your own custom display patterns.

Hi Niall,

thanks for your help! (You're fine? Not in holiday?)

I thought that if I use the euro pattern, the € symbol is shown, too. :-(

Is there any solution to show the ,00?

And can you help me with these two problems, too?

Thanks Matthias,

Back off holidays.

If you amend the display pattern and set the locale you can get it to display the way you want.

displays as:

See that I have deleted the third '9' after the decimal point. Give that a go,

Hi Niall,

thanks. I tried the euro pattern now and candelled the $ symbol. Like this:

num{z,zzz,zz9.99 }
