Question I have an order form I'm working on within Acrobat. What I'm trying to do is create a custom calculation script that will take the "item amount" that the user will enter in the form field, multiply it by $7.99 the set price for the product that is not a form field to get the "total" price on that line which is a form field. Any suggestions?
Answer Hi there --
What I would do is go to Adobe's user to user support at www.adobe.com and search to see if anyone's done something similar. This involves more programming/scripting than most Acrobat users would have a need for. And there might be a pre-fab plugin for this that's already out there -- no need to re-invent the wheel.
