How to Create PDF Forms with Calculations in Adobe Acrobat

Aside from making clean printable documents, files made with Adobe Acrobat Pro can contain formulas that automatically compute your inputs. Here’s how to make simple calculations in a PDF file.

Using a PDF with Calculations

When it comes to software that can create files with formulas and automatic computations, you likely have a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets in mind. However, the nature and formatting of spreadsheets make them unwieldy and impractical to use as a form that you distribute to people.

Fortunately, Adobe Acrobat, the top-of-the-line PDF creation suite, has several tools that allow you to make fields with automatic computations in them.

There are many potential use cases for a PDF with a calculated form, such as:

  • Order Forms: If you’re handing out a form filled with possible products and their prices to a customer, you can create a field that quickly displays the final price of their order without having to pull out a calculator.
  • Assessments and Exams: You can make a quiz or assessment that automatically displays the score when you’re done answering.
  • Invoices: If you’re creating a printed invoice, you can set it to display the final amount you’re charging automatically.

Aside from the above, PDF forms can be useful for performing risk assessments, creating membership forms, or even making a simple offline personality test.

How to Save an Excel Sheet as a PDF

Excel Files as PDFs

There are many scenarios when you may want to save an Excel document as a PDF file instead of a spreadsheet. For example, if you wish to send out only a specific portion of a larger sheet, or you don’t want it to be editable. However, converting an Excel file to a PDF can be a bit tricky.

We often don’t think of Excel spreadsheets as documents with borders, pages, and margins. However, when it comes to turning these files into PDF documents that can be read, printed, or distributed to others, it’s something that you should be conscious of. Your file should be readable and understandable, without random stray columns on other pages or cell sizes that are too small to read.

Here’s how to turn your spreadsheet into a presentable and printable PDF document.
