    Adobe Acrobat Required Field

      Thanks in advance for your input.

       

      I have created a form for our users fill out electronically, but print out to sign and return to us. I would like to make certain fields required; however, checking required fields on happens upon submitting the form electronically. Any suggestions? Thanks, again.

          The "Required" property is intended for when PDF forms are submitted to a scripted web page for additional processing and it is the web page processing that throws the error, so many of the users that used this even with web submissions wrote scripts within the PDF to provide a better error message prompt.

           

          You will have to create a special script to do this check.

            Thanks for your input! Could you point me in the right direction in terms of JavaScript? I've never done anything quite like this and I'm not sure where to start. Any assistance or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated,
