If all you need is a sum, you don't need to use "Simplified field notations"; you can use "Value is the [sum]" just above it. In that case, it does not even matter that the name values contain spaces, since you just get a list of checkboxes for the fields in the document and you simply check the checkboxes for the fields you want to get summed.

Also, it is now perfectly fine to have spaces before and after the plus signs when you use the "Simplified field notations".

[StarKnight]

Thanks for the help. Even though its not the EXACT thing I needed I used this as a stepping stone.

creating a fillable pdf for my friends' DnD character sheet and this was beyond helpful for me to understand the formula area.

I have made formula's in excel but that has been lost to the void, this has been MUCH easier


Again, MASSIVE thank you for this

Hey Carol Bee, great video. I am using Acrobat Pro DC and used your exact instructions to clean up a form that was sent to me. The only problem is the default value will not show. I would like the boxes to display as $0.00. Any suggestions?

Hey Carol, can we save the pdf with the calculated results?

[nazmussakib]

Thanks, Carol for the wonderful video. Is there any way to convert numbers to words? For example: 5, 000, 000.00 = Five Million.

Hi Carol, Can you make a video on how to calculate future dates with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC? I am looking to have people fill out the form and have the dates calculated 6 months out.

[introbangla]

Is it possible to make an interactive pdf automatically save a read-only copy of the document via a button in the script?
Thank you for the video!

[calworkscollegeofthecanyon]

I have a Problem when I tried this way. some times it doesn't calculate some fields. Do you know what should I do?

[CarolineSchiemann]

If I want to apply a condition to the calculation do I need to change to the custom calculation script or stay in the simplified version?
This is what I got so far but its simply not working. Can anyone help?
if(Qty1640PR<54)

Qty1640PR*149.15
}

thanks!
