Ted Padova's book 'Creating Adobe Acrobat Forms' has chapters on Calculating Field Data (includes sections on the Acrobat preset calculations, and _javascript_ calculations), arrays, formatting etc.
 
Check Netscape's site for the official _javascript_ reference and guide(http://devedge.netscape.com/central/_javascript_/), and you might want to get a _javascript_ reference to give some depth a/o examples to the syntax and functions available to you (I use Flanagan's Definitive Guide; also consider Goodman's Bible).

Subject: [PDF-Forms] Calculations AHH!

I am a very new user of Adobe Acrobat.  I have been charged with converting all of my company's Word forms to Adobe forms.  I understand the basics but when _javascript_ is needed I am clueless.  How can I find quick and easy lines of code that will enable me to do simple division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction calculations?  I have the Adobe Forms How-to book but it is very unclear in this area.  Many of the forms I will be creating require some sort of calculations, can anyone help me?
