How to add values assigned to checkboxes?

[Henry.Ong]

Good day!

I have a PDF form with checkboxes with corresponding values.

What I want is when a checkbox is selected, it would get the value and add it along with the value with the other selected checkboxes.

Example:

[  ]  Option 1  (value is 100)

[  ]  Option 2  (value is 200)

[  ]  Option 3  (value is 300)

Thus, if I select only Option 1, the result would be 100

If I select Option 1 and Option 3, the result would be 400

I hope you can help me with my problem.

Set those numbers as the Export Values of the check-boxes and then use the built-in Sum option under the Calculate tab of the total text field and select all the check-boxes.

Thanks so much for this solution.

Is there a max number of Check Boxes you can add?  I cannot get this to work no matter what I try 😞

Not that I'm aware of. What exactly are you trying to do, and what are the results?
