Tons of help, thank you. Something else that was helpful was realizing that the text box name shouldn't have any symbols or spaces.

[SukkoLive]

Thanks a lot you saved me tons of time as im a total newbie on this, i just have a stupid follow-up question, how can i export so my clients wont be able to edit the file but still able to print or copy the text if needed? Thanks again for the tutorial and you got yourself a new follower.

[kenschwartzberg]

Thank you for showing how to do this! 2 Questions:
1. What version of Adobe Acrobat do you need to do this? Pro or Standard?
2. Can you apply calculation to multiple fields at one time? I see you had to apply it to each amount separately.

Thank you!

[plixplop]

Very very helpful, thank you! I can't believe this function is still not a part of InDesign!

[RhodaHarley]

Hi ~ This is very helpful, thank you! I wonder about a step to enter in the sales tax percentage ahead of time, so the user doesn't have to manually enter that each usage? Would that a calculated field using the Simplified field notation option?

[ranmannokc]

Great video! Most helpful. Is there a way to populate the invoice number and have it advance by one after each save? If there is a paid video for it, I'd be glad to do so.

[PattyFanter]

Sharon, is there a way to calculate amounts associated with checked boxes
