Wie erstelle ich eine Eingabetabelle mit einer Spalte „Berechnen“ und füge sie in den PDF-Editor ein?

Hallo,

ist es möglich, im PDF Editor eine Tabelle einzufügen, in der ich die Spalten unterschiedlich formatieren (Text, Zahl) und dann in einer Spalte die Summe berechnen lasse?

Freue mich auf die Rückmeldung,

mfg

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Our German Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users right now, so I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in German, let us know and we can have them do that. But, it might take a while until they're available again.

Now, coming back to your question, You must add first the Input table to your Form before it can show up to your PDF Editor. It is very easy to add and configure the Input Table. Let me show you how:

1. While in Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.

2. Under the Basic tab, scroll down the list and choose the Input Table.

3. Now, just drag and drop it to your form.

You can set different type of input for each Column. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, selct the Input Table and click the Gear icon.

2. Under the Fields tab, select Multi-type Columns from the Input Type options.

We also have a guide here that you can check to learn more about this. After adding the Input Table to the Form Builder, it will also show up in your PDF Editor. See the screenshot below:

Meanwhile, you can perform calculation to your form by using the Form Calculation widget. Then use Update and Calculate condition to place the sum inside the table. Let me walk you through it:

1. While in Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.

2. Under the Widget tab, select the Form Calculation widget.

3. Now, just drag and drop it to your form.

4. Select the Form Calculation widget and click the Wand Icon.

5. Click the Add Field Button and select the cell in the columns that needs to be added to each other.

6. Click the Save button.

7. In the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.

8. Select Conditions on the left side tab and choose Update and Calculate condition.

9. Add a condition that fills the Total cell from the answer on the Form Calculation widget

Doing all of this will let you create an Input Table where the sum is at the end of the cell. After submitting, the Input Table will also show in the PDF Editor.

You can also test or clone the form I made on this link.

Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.

Thank you
