I'm having a problem in PDF forms I am developing. I have a number of form fields and some calculations need to be done on them. I have made them numbers, and put in 2 decimal places.

However, it seems Acrobat is calculating the numbers out furter than the 2 decimal places.

IE:
1.0125
1.0125
1.0125
1.0100
------
1.0475

When I limited the decimal places to 2, the answer I am being given is:

1.01
1.01
1.01
1.01
------
1.05

Which is, actually, incorrect. I don't see how I can stop this from happening. The above numbers are actually the results of calculations themselves.

I hope I am making sense. I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.
