Yes Adobe Pro. And I need to add the equations in the fillable form so they will work when I send the blank forms to people.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Use a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-excel-as-your-calculator-a1abc057-ed11-443a-a635-68216555ad0a

You can enter simple formulas to + add, / divide, x multiply, and - subtract two or more values. Or use the AutoSum feature to quickly total a series of values without entering formulas manually.

After you create a formula in your Excel spreadsheet, you can copy it into adjacent cells — no need to create the same formula over and over again.

Hope that helps.

You'll need to be a lot more specific.

1. Which Adobe app or service is this related to?

2. What type of math problems?

3. How will these be used?

4. Which scripting languages are you able to use?
