PDF Proposal, Ala Carte Items, with a Grand Total Automatically Generated

Question

I need to create a proposal containing check boxes so a client can choose projects ala carte and see a grand total for his selections at the bottom.  I am using acrobat x pro.  I am a novice, and don’t even know where to write a javascript, or how to assign a value to the check boxes. Thank you for your help.

Courtney Wilkins,
For future reference, the proper Adobe Forum to post such questions is the
LiveCycle Designer ES forum.
Have a look at the "Purchase Order -- Dynamic Interactive" sample that ships with Designer. You'll find it in the following folder:
{Designer_install_location}\{version}\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Dynamic Interactive\Forms
It's a great example of a dynamic table with various sums.
As for the "item number", I'm assuming you mean the row index. If that's the case, then lets say you have a cell in your repeatable table row named "RowIndex" which is a text field. Also assuming you're running Designer 8.0 or later, you would add the following script to the row's IndexChange event (in JavaScript):
RowIndex.rawValue = (this.index + 1) + ".";
For more info, you could try the following posts and comments on my blog:
