Before I spend a lot of time playing around to be disappointed, does anyone know if Adobe forms can add up a column of radio buttons (or even check boxes) and devise a total?
Example being a survey and it can add your score by seeing how many radio buttons you selected?

Ah, it’s been a while, but I believe this can be done. Sorry, but I can give you no more info.
- Knowing it's possible will encourage me to try then :)ETM

i think you need adobe live cycle for anything with equations. survey monkey's probably the best bet if you don't need to print them.

I am using LifeCycle. They need to be PDFs. :(
If I could just convert them little web apps, I would be happy (and done).

You can script PDF forms with what is essentially Javascript with some Acrobat-specific additions so if you can manipulate form data in HTML you can do it in a PDF. So a basic simple example to get the sum of two fields could be:
var1 = this.getField('field1').value;
var2 = this.getField('field2').value;
this.getField('total').value = var1 + var2;- That’s awesome.MrOneHundred

- Straight forward enough. I thought it would be more Adobe basterdized. Thanks.ETM
