Help Creating a Self-Scoring Document in Adobe Acrobat Pro

[Insigthful NP]

Hi all,

I’m working on creating a screening tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro where users can select options, and I’d like the document to automatically calculate and display a score at the end based on their selections.

I’ve set up the form with the selection options, but I’m not sure how to implement the scoring functionality. Ideally, I want the form to score automatically based on the options selected and display the result at the end of the form.

I’ve never used JavaScript before, so if that’s required, I’d appreciate a beginner-friendly explanation or alternative solutions if possible.

Could anyone guide me on how to create this self-scoring document? Any help or tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

If you used checkboxes or dropdown fields for user to select then you don't need JavaScript, just add score value as export values of checkboxes or dropdown choices, then in the field where you wish to show total, go to 'Calculate' tab and select 'Value is the' and 'Pick' your fields.
