For
each calculation and script created in Designer, you must specify
the location where you want the calculation or script to run.
Unless you
are using server-based processing such as Forms, you should ensure
that all of your calculations and scripts are set to run on the
client application (for example, on Acrobat, a web browser, or the
LiveCycle Mobile Workspace app).
Note: FormCalc
calculations and scripts do not work on forms rendered as HTML and
are ignored during form filling.
If you are using server-based processing, you can choose between
running calculations on the client application, or running them
on the server. By choosing to have calculations and scripts run
on the server, you are choosing to run the scripts at a specific
point during the form-rendering process.
For more
information, see Determining when to run your calculation
or script.
If you choose Client And Server from the Run At list, your calculation
or script is available to both client and server-based applications.
This option is useful, for example, if you do not know whether your
users will have client or server applications when they attempt
to use your form. It is also useful if you want certain form objects
to behave one way to a client application and another to a server-based
application.
