Editable pdf: calculated fields

[Starleana35047692c1no]

I am trying to make a registration form in an edible PDF. I simply want to have one box calculate a total. For example the ticket price for this event is $35. I want the number of attendees selected, whether it be one or two automatically generate the price. so if 2 people are coming to this event their total ticket price would be $70. I have tried all calculations to enter in the calculate tab and cannot get the correct one. How can I get my form to generate a ticket price of $35 based on the number of attendees. What exact text would I enter, and where I put it it to get it to generate?! Help please

Also, would I use a drop-down box or a text box? I need to know exactly how to do this.

I've moved your post from Using the Community (for questions about the forums) to Adobe Acrobat for you.

What have you tried?

[Starleana35047692c1no]

I've tried multiple entries, with no luck on something so simple

Definitely use a text field.

In 'Calculate' tab of that field select 'Value is the', then select 'product(x)' and then 'Pick' to select 'price' and 'attend' fields.

That's still not working, is there a way I can send this to someone for them to help me fix it?

You can attach file to share it with us.

In a total field "Text35" as 'Simplified field notation' enter this: Text1*35

Is there a way I can have it show as $35.00? 

[Nesa Nurani]

Go to 'Format' tab, select 'Number' format, and then you can select number of decimals and currency sign.

In English, the equation is: 35 x number attending = total cost. 

You need a field that says 35, not "35 per person". Create a new field, make it hidden. and use that in the calculation.

Here's how to take a screenshot (not a photo):

I e just done that, it's still not calculating a dollar amount 

[Starleana35047692c1no]

 This is my form. I need to know the calculation wording to enter a simplified field notation. I want number of attendees to calculate each the check amount. The price is $35 per person

You need to either share the file (not a screenshot!) or post the exact field names of the fields involved in this calculation.
