How would I go about creating this example:
If tick box A on page 1 is selected, then if tick box F on page 2 is selected. Go to page 15.
Or if field A on page 1 is filled out with a value, then if field F on page 2 is filled out with a value. Go to page 15.
Its purely variable, depending on what options they choose. Thanks!

There's a difference between using buttons and check-boxes, since check-boxes maintain a value, while buttons do not. If you use buttons then you need a global variable to maintain the last state of the button. With check-boxes you can simply test their values to decide where you want to direct the user to.

I will use tick boxes. My knowledge for writing code is minimal, how would I go about doing this?

So let's say you have two check-boxes, "Check Box1" and "Check Box2", and you want that if "Check Box2" is ticked and "Check Box1" is already ticked, the file will move to page 15. You can enter this code as the MouseUp event of "Check Box2" to achieve that:
if (getField("Check Box1").value!="Off" && getField("Check Box2").value!="Off") this.pageNum = 14;
if (getField("Check Box1").value!="Off" && getField("Check Box2").value!="Off") this.pageNum = 14;

Ok, Thanks for that.
I have a column of 8 check boxes for left hand side panel of a product. I also have a column of 7 check boxes for the right hand side panel. The use can mix and match each panel, and choose one option from each column. Then see the end result on a page.

Sorry, I meant to ask how would I alter your code to fit within that?

You need to add the rest of the fields into the if statement:
if (a && b && c && d && e ...) { // then do this }
if (a && b && c && d && e ...) { // then do this }

Sorry, I don't know how I would add the rest of the fields.

Just replace the name of the field between the quotes in this part:
if (getField("NAME_OF_FIELD_HERE").value!="Off" && getField("NAME_OF_OTHER_FIELD_HERE").value!="Off" && getField("NAME_OF_THIRD_FIELD_HERE").value!="Off" ... ) {}
if (getField("NAME_OF_FIELD_HERE").value!="Off" && getField("NAME_OF_OTHER_FIELD_HERE").value!="Off" && getField("NAME_OF_THIRD_FIELD_HERE").value!="Off" ... ) {}

Then where do I define the page numbers that each combination goes to? Also how come you have value!="off" shouldn't it be "on"?

You set the page to go to with the second part of the if-statement, using the pageNum property.
"!=" means "not equal to". "Off" is the default value of a check-box when it's not ticked.
I suggest you use the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. Most of this information is available there.
Either that, or find someone to create it for you.

Thanks for your help, I will give it a go :)
all buttons on page 1 take you to page 2 once clicked. But if you click button A on page one, after taking you to page 2 you are required to click one of the buttons on page 2. After clicking that button on page 2 it takes you to page 3.
So in a sense depending on which buttons you click on pages 1 and 2 it will take you to certain page.
*edit*
To make it simple, all check boxes could be on the same page, so if check box A and check Box B is selected it will take you to page 3. If check box A and check box C is selected it will take you to page 4 and so on. I think check boxes would be better and easier than buttons or fields.
I think in all there's about 100 different combinations
