I have a software oder form at [link=http://doit.missouri.edu/software/sales/autocad.pdf]http://doit.missouri.edu/software/sales/autocad.pdf[/link] I need to calculate in $400 to the AutoCad subtotal when the user enters the CPU serial number for each computer. I also need to calculate on the same form for every CPU number entered in the other software add $200 to that subtotal. I'm used to having UnitCounts but this has me stumped. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The PDF file at the above link is flat, i.e., it only contains non-interactive page content. So the first thing you need to do is to place interactive form fields on it.

You should also do some reading on Acrobat forms and JavaScript. You can find more info at:

Click on the "Documentation" tab. You'll also find some useful info at:

Thom,

Your right it was simple. This statement in the subtotal did it.

if (Page1.Software.ChemOrder1.ChemOfficeCPU1 == Null) then $ = Null
else $ = 30
endif
