Help Creating a Self-Scoring Document in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hello!

++ In addition to what our community product experts have shared, you can try the following suggestions to create simple scoring with calculated form fields.

• In Acrobat Pro, prepare the PDF form from All Tools > Prepare Form, and add checkbox, radio, or dropdown fields.
• Set each answer option’s export value to its score.
• Add a total score text field.
• Right-click the total field and choose Properties > Calculate.
• Select Value, choose Sum, then pick the scoring fields.
• If fields depend on each other, set the field calculation order.
• Test the form before distribution.

If you used checkboxes or dropdown fields for user to select then you don't need JavaScript, just add score value as export values of checkboxes or dropdown choices, then in the field where you wish to show total, go to 'Calculate' tab and select 'Value is the' and 'Pick' your fields.
