I want to create a PDF that allows users to build their own package

I'd like to create a PDF that allows users to build their own package by clicking on items with a price tag. The total sum of what they have selected would then be dynamically updated as they click to show what their package pricing would be. I'd like this PDF to be viewable on all browsers, computers, and ipads/iphones.

You can do this with the forms features in Acrobat. The problem is with your requirement that the document needs to work in all the environments you've listed. A form will not work in all browsers with all possible configurations. Firefox for example now comes with it's own PDF viewer, which will not handle forms correctly. The same is true e.g. with Safari and the default Preview PDF viewer. If Adobe Reader is installed, you can make these browsers work, but it's the user's responsibility to do so. The same is true for mobile browsers: you will have to install 3rd party software to use forms on mobile devices.
