Acrobat 9 Pro--I'm new at this. So here goes. I used the wizard to set up fields after saving a Word 2007 doc in pdf. I'm now trying to set up a table for calculating a total at bottom of column 2 table. I have all the fields ready in two columns. But the set calculation order is greyed and can't access.

I tried another way with an html of the table that calculates and totals using check mark buttons for each amount in each row down the columns. I converted it to a pdf and inserted it in my working pdf in front of the other table to see if it would work. This one has calculate & reset buttons. The check mark column fields work and reset button works; but the calculate results button and total score field doesn't even with this one.

So, now I have two tables and not certain how to get either of them working right. Help.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Are any of the fields that you want to be calculated fields actually set up in Acrobat to be calculated fields yet?

I just found the tab to set calculations for each field. They are numbers 1-100. the first two fields are valued at 100 & 73. I was also able to check all the numbers to set up total score field and it works. the only thing I wonder now is how can each field show the value when the user just checks it? Is that possible? Right now, they have to type in the value they see noted in a separate column. I would hope to just have a check mark field, but can't see how it can be calculated with a value to sum up.What do you think?
