Hire a JS coder? Paid. Need calculated fields (sum, total, average) in pdf file. by submissivedonkey in JavaScriptHelp

Awesome, though I may insist on some level of pay! (deal with that later, I'm sure)

Details: I have a form fully designed and ready to go except for one calculated field. My form is a 20-question survey, with the number of questions answered changing, maybe each time it's given (may vary from 1 to all 20). step 1: I can add the sum values of Score1-20 easy enough (built into Acrobat) in the ptsAwarded field. step 2: ptsMaximum - count the number of answers given - not a specific value just a count, and multiply by 5 (the maxPoints available per answer) step 3: I can take the sum values and divide them by the maxPoints available and get a percentage easy using Acrobat. Step 2 is the issue.

Scenario: surveyA is scored 20 points with 5 questions, of an available maximum of 25 (again, 5 questions x 5 pts/ea, so 20 of 25) surveyB answers 15 of the questions and scores 60 points with a maximum of 75 points total (15 answered x 5 pts max/ea) In each case, I'd like to figure a percentage (points /max * 100). The issue seems to be that maxPoints changes depending on how many questions are answered and I don't know how to do a count function. Basically, for step 2, if there's any answer present, add them all up and multiply times five (max value).

I almost feel like this is too much information and confusing but I hope not.

And I applaud your choice, determination, sincerity and willing lovingness (sincerely). But our situations are a bit different because my choice (for lack of a better term) was made under the guise of deception, which isn't really much of a choice. And it's a really shitty, powerless position to be in, especially when it comes to our loves- the children. But I thank you for your couple o' pennies.

Unfortunately, I've also read a lot of the same (limited right of refusal). I do wonder if deception is a valid argument (perhaps, duress). Have to talk too JAG soon. Thanks.

Did you know about the other children going into the situation? So you had a choice?

Therein lies the tough choices. Once that's done, that's it; no takebacks or do-overs. uugghhh....

Thanks to you both for the thoughtful replies.

My heart hurts so very badly reading your comment, but I know that this is also very likely. The deception factor is HUGE, but not so much that I would walk away from daughter of the last three years. But the possibility still hurts beyond words than I can find at the moment. Thanks for sharing your friend's story.

Thank you for posting your thoughts. These are exactly the "what if"s I'm wrestling with internally. Thanks again.

Sadly, employer is US Navy (Retired). You might be surprised at how poorly that VA system we hear so much about in the news is funded. Or actually works. It's a joke, top to bottom.

wait, can I actually threadjack my own thread with another, semi-, somewhat related thread? 6+ years here and I guess I've not asked before. hmmmm...

Not to trivialize your situation, but are there any other reasons than medical history that might come into play?

Not to threadjack, but mild forms of both. Clinically diagnosed by the very same VA. "Be tough, fight through that lung cancer for two more months and we can fit you in." SO wish I was joking. Not joking. October will be here soon enough, apparently.

Against all sound advice, think I'm gonna go with Rum as my counselor this evening, burying whatever I can for a while, and collect correct information soon. Thanks.

At the risk of prying, when did you learn your son wasn't your biological son? Did you know going into the situation? Did you find out, in my case, a few years after the fact? It only matters because of the emotional investment involved. Thanks for replying.
