PDFormFieldAdditionalActions.setC() not working?
In my project, I could not get setC to do anything, so I modified the CreateSimpleForm.java code to create 2 fields (just in case that mattered), which resulted in http://aapro.net/PDF/SimpleForm.pdf.
Then I commented out a lot of distracting other event handling in FieldTriggers.java, and duplicated everything to handle both fields, resulting in http://aapro.net/PDF/FieldTriggers.java . This, when run gives http://aapro.net/PDF/FieldTriggers.pdf, which, in PDFDebugger looks something like this:
AcroForm: (3) [3 0 R]
DA: /Helv o Tfo g
DR: (1) [70 R]
Fields: (2)
0: (12) [SOR] /T:Annot /S:Widget
1: (11) [60R] /T:Annot /S:Widget
AA: (2) [120 R]
C: (3) [19 O R] /T:Action
JS: app.alert("On 'recalculate' action")
S: Javascript
Type: Action
D: (3) [13 o R] /T:Action
JS: app.alert("On 'mouse down' action")
S: Javascript
Type: Action
Whatever I do, much as in my original project, I never see "On 'recalculate' action".
I get the expected (if somewhat annoying) behavior for setK, setF, and setV. Why not setC?
Thanks,
Gary

you are missing to set the calculation order entry which is requiored if there are calculations.
Add something like this:
PDField field = acroform.getField("SampleField2");
COSArray calculationOrder = new COSArray();
calculationOrder.add(field);
acroform.getCOSObject().setItem("CO", calculationOrder);
