Forms, JavaScript, pdf in PDFescape Calculating Form Fields in PDFescape
Friday, February 3, 2012 at 9:12AM UPDATE: Red Software is no longer affiliated with PDFescape, but this feature is still available in our RAD PDF technology. Edit your PDF with our online implementation, free of charge!
At Red Software, we constantly receive requests for feature updates and improvements. One of the most common requests is for "Simplified field notation" support. Our free PDF editor, PDFescape, has had built in calculation support for some time, allowing addition, multiplication, averaging, mininmum, and maximum calculations.
Today, we're proud to announce support for "Simplified field notation", allowing custom formulas and more advanced PDF form field calculations. With this update, even simple scripts which use the advanced "Custom JavaScript Calculation" / "Custom Calculation Script" method will work properly in PDFescape.

Good update. Really good. Thanks for posting the info here;) Was nice of you))
I'm happy that this feature exists, but I can't find how to do it! I want to add multiple form fields in a column, is there a step-by-step guide how to do this?
I am having the same issue as FannyMay. How does this feature really work because I cannot make it happen. I have downloaded the PDF where I can see it working but I don't see any how they are making it work or how I can make it work.
Please help.
