    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but if you can point me in the right direction or another site then I'll be happy and appreciative.

    I have a form that I created in InDesign and it needs to be interactive. The form fields are supposed to auto add or substract depending on what box it is.

    How can I have a box subtract fields in Acrobat? I don't see that option in the calculations.

    For instance, Box A neeeds to add fields 1,2,3 and 4. Box B needs to add fields 5,6,7 and 8. Box C would need to subtract the sums of both Box A and Box B.

    Hope that makes sense.

    I would try a google or bing search for “acrobat forms calculations” and you'll find a bunch of tutorials, such as:

    or

    Good luck!

    You can make turn your form fileds interactive/editable in Adobe Acrobat but it will not caclulation fields as you describe above, so i would highly recommend that you have Adobe LiveCycle Designer and you can turn your form fields into Interactive with LiveCycle Designer! still need more help feel free to ask.

    Based on what info is provided, Acrobat should be able to do the calcs easily. Of course, LiveCycle Designer is more powerful, but it sounds like simple calcs assuming Box A, B, & C are separate fields.
