I am new to PDF form creation, but I have created a simple order form for a wine customer which does the math calculations.
My problem is that the "tax" field is only to be filled out by California residents.
I'd like to do 2 things that I am unable to achieve with my present knowledge.
1. Have a "radio" button activate the calculation for the tax field ONLY when checked.
2. Create the formula which would multiply the "sub-total" field by 8.5% and place it in the "tax" field.
Thanks for any help you can give.

In the Simple Notation Field, enter this:
(subtotal+Install+ Delivery) * 1.0825
(subtotal+Install+ Delivery) * 1.0825

Sales tax is not always computed on installation and delivery charges. And there could be a requirement to state the sales tax separately. I would add 2 fields, one for the sales tax rate and the other for the computed sales tax. Using a field name of "SalesTaxRate" with a format of 'Percent', 4 decimal places, a default value of 0.0825, and set as read only. The field for the amount of tax could be "SalesTaxAmount" with a number format and 2 decimal places, set as read only with a simplified field notation of 'SalesTaxRate * subtotal'. The grand total field could then have the 'simplified field notation' of 'subtotal + SalesTaxAmount + install + Delivery'.
Having the sales tax rate in a field allows for easier maintenance, and showing the amount of sales tax charged can meet legal requirements for disclosure and accumulation of sales tax charged that needs to be paid to the taxing agency and may have implications for income tax of the customer.
All of the above assumes the vendor needs to collect sales tax on every sale.
