I created a form, which has the following text fields: Total amount, amount paid and balance. I didn't edit/customize any of the feilds, but Adobe is automatically calculating the balance, however, it's not correct. Is there a formula behind the scenes that got created somehow? Can I edit the formula somewhere....or at the very least stop Adobe from doing any calculation altogether?

Acrobat does not create automatic calculations. If there is a calculation it must have been created by you, or someone else. You can edit all calculations by going to the field's Properties and looking under the Calculate tab.

The values could also be coming from a calculation in another field. If there's nothing in the balance field, @carrie_7961 can check all fields that contain calculations by looking at the field names in the calculation order under More>Set Calculation Order in the field panel.

True, but either way, it's not something Acrobat will do on its own. Someone must have set it up at some point.
