How do you add boxes to a PDF that will complete addition and subtraction?

I am creating a PDF form for a company that wants to be able to add, subtract and have a grand total on a form. Is there a way to do this?

Ex:

Original total

- upgrades

- coupon etc

= total owed

- down payment

= $ to collect upon completion

Thank you, this is helpful. I was able to complete, however how/which way do you export as a PDF where the functions still work as needed?

You don't need to export or save it in any special way, unless your users

have Adobe Reader X or earlier. If that's the case then you need to apply

the so-called "Reader Rights" in Acrobat for the files to be savable when

filled-in. How you do that depends on your version of Acrobat.
