Calculating numeric fields on different pages

I am a newbie I have a pdf with various drop down boxes that are added up in groups of five using numeric fields. I have about 9 numeric fields that need to be added at the top of the page in a total numeric field. The problem is that the document is 3 pages so anything not on first page on will not add to the overall total numeric field. I have been using formcal to add everything. Is there anyway to add multiple pages just using formcal or do I have to use javascript? I know little to nothing about javascript. I assume this has been discussed before but I was not having any luck when I did a search.

Thank you

Because the different fields are probably in different subforms you need to supply the path to the fields in your script.

The easiest way to do this is to navigate to where you can see the field you want to reference, click in the script editor where you want the field reference to go and then holding down the CTRL key mouse over the field you want (the mouse cursor should change to a "V") and click on it.
