Downloadable PDF form with calculations

Question

I have put together a PDF form that will be on a website for download and want to have some calculations for ticket purchasing. Can this be done on a downloadable form and if so is there a tutorial for adding the calculations?

Thanks,

John

I am not seeing where to put export value of the check box and when I control-click the check box, there is no calculate tab. Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

You'll find many tutorials, at various levels, here: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/

The export value of a check-box can be found under its Properties, in the Options tab:

The calculation script goes under a text field, not a check-box:

Yes, but be aware the calculations will only work if the file is opened in an application that supports PDF scripts. This excludes almost all mobile PDF viewers, and most browser plugins. Most calculations can be done using the first two options under the Calculate tab of a text field. For more complex things you'll need to write a custom script.
