Welcome to the wonderful world of PDF Forms... Don't expect what you're used to in Excel to work here. It's a very different (and sometimes confusing) world. To answer your questions: - No, you can't force the fields detection wizard to detect your fields. If it works, great, if it doesn't then you need to do it manually (or using scripts). It never works perfectly, but it usually generates something you can use as a starting-point. - Actions associates with fields can't be applied to multiple fields at once using the built-in GUI, unlike properties. What you can do is set one field as you want it to be, and then copy and paste it multiple times, or use the Create Multiple Copies command, and the Actions associated with it will be carried over to the new fields. Another option is to use a script to apply the same Actions to multiple fields at once, like this script I've created: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Mass Edit Fields Actions - Regarding the calculations: If you use consistent field-names (ie, Cost1, Cost2, Cost3, Quantity1, Quantity2, Quantity3, etc.) then you can write a generic script to do all of the calculations you won't need to manually apply a different calculations for each row. That is a little bit complicated for someone without knowledge at all, but not too much. A good tutorial about calculations in PDF fields can be found here: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-do-not-so-simple-form-calculations Good luck!
