While preparing a purchase order form, I am using our company Acrobat Pro (3 licenses). When clicking on each field and where I need to have number in a column and last one to be the sum of above ... I cant find the possibility to switch from Text to Number and the to arrange a formula.

Is there any specific set of the app to have calculation button?

Thanks

If you're using the old Acrobat UI, click on Tools - Prepare Form and then on "More" at the right-hand side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form".

If you're using the new Acrobat UI go to Tools and search for "Prepare Form", then click the "three dots" icon next to "Prepare a Form" on the left-hand panel and then on "Remove e-signing options".

In the future, when creating the form for the first time do not tick the box that says "This document requires signatures", as it converts it to an Adobe Sign form, which has limited functionality.
