Good Morning,

I appreciate everyone taking the time in looking at this post. I am trying to calculate multiple fields in a PDF Form based on the imput of a user. The fields that are basic addition are calculating fine. The issue I am running into is when I try to subtotal multiple fields and divide by .35 to create the margin on the numbers. This division by .35 is not calculating. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? I am using the "Simple Field Notation" to try and do this. I have tried adding a new field (didn't work) and just dividing the number by .35. Please see screen shots.

Please post the full code you're using, as text, not as a screenshot.

Sorry about that, here is the different codes that I have tried.

When adding an additional field (margin) to try and calculate this:

(ShingleWasteTotal15 * 147.68) + (PitchAdderTotal + StarterStripTotal + RidgeCapTotal + RidgeVentTotal + FlashingTotal + DripEdgeTotal + LeakBarrierTotal) / (Margin)

When trying to calculate margin based on 35%:

(ShingleWasteTotal15 * 147.68) + (PitchAdderTotal + StarterStripTotal + RidgeCapTotal + RidgeVentTotal + FlashingTotal + DripEdgeTotal + LeakBarrierTotal) / .35

That is not a valid script.
