PDF dropdown menu percentage calculation

Hi, I am trying to create a PDF invoice form, with fields that calculate 9% tax and 21%tax.

If I have both fields in the form then the "total" field adds both values. So I thought to would create a dropdown field that would specify if the btw in the invoice is 9% or 21% and then only the required amount will be displayed in the "Tax" field.

I cannot find the JavaScript that would allow me to do that.

Could anyone help me, please?

Thank you.

In the options tab of the dropdown add enter 9% as an item and .09 as it export value, then 21% as an item and .21 as its export value. In the tax field enter the following custom calculation script:

event.value=this.getField("TaxDropdown").value * this.getField("Tax").value;

If you just want to show the value of dropdown in tax field, use this as 'Validate' script of dropdown field:

this.getField("Tax").value = event.value;

If you need to actually calculate tax, let us know.

Hi Nesa,

Thank you for a quick reply.

Ideally, if I select 9% in the drop menu, it would calculate 9% from the "subtotal" field and show the result in the "Tax" field. (same if I select 21%).

What is the name of the dropdown field, and what are exact values in dropdown "9%" or "9" and do you have set export value?
