Required field adobe pro

I have a client where the built in check box on the field is not working. I was hoping to be able to accomplish this via code, I saw a discussion on here with some code listed in onblur but will it work if the check box is not touched but the form is submitted? Is there code to handle this? is the check box in the field properties supposed to put something in that area or add js to the form?

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I currently subscribe to Adobe Pro Subscription (yearly) and I also subscribe to Adobe PDF pack (monthly). I only require Adobe to read and create PDF documents such as converting word/excel document or a web based document. Can someone tell me if I'm doubling up as I'm not sure of the differences between the products and would like to save a few dollars.

Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro.

Adobe Pro: Field settings (version 9 and higher)

I am building a fillable form using Adobe Pro 9 (and higher). Within 1 question, I want to set 3 fields, each representing an answer that can only be answered once.
I know about Radio Buttons but, I need to have some text written instead of a checkbox.
How to set a limit onto a field to direct person filling in the form to answer only 1 of the 3 fields within the same question?
Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi there Can you tell us what software you are using? I know you probably believe you did by saying Adobe Pro. But there are lots of Adobe products and several have a "Pro" designation. If you can tell us what product you are using, we can tell you a better place to ask the question where other folks using that particular product hang out and are helpful. Cheers... Rick

Signature field NOT working since upgrade to Adobe Pro X

Hi Forum,
Form stop working since upgraded to Pro X (ver 10) in Adobe. Getting this message:
IntegriSign
This plug-in is intended for validating signatuers signed using earlier versions of Acrobat. To sign using this version of Acrobat use "IntegriSign to Acrobat 9.0 and later" handler
I have changed settings in Adobe Pro X to the above but still get the same message.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Patricia

Download directly from Apple and install over what you have now;

Adobe pro 9 requires mac admin password

I just restored my macbook air and reinstalled my adobe pro 9 software, but now I have to enter my admin password before I can open any pdf file. How can I turn off this security feature?

This sounds like something needs to be repaired with the installation. I’d recommend uninstalling and then re-installing and updating to the most current version of Acrobat 9.

Adobe forms-checking that required fields are completed-Java Script

I have inserted two Java Scripts into my form--one for checking for required fields are completed, and then one for generating an email pulling a custom subject line, as shown below:
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
this.mailDoc({bUI:false,cTo:"[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]",cSubject:"Bugzilla Form for: "+this.getField("Bugzilla Title").value+" - "+this.getField("Bugzilla ID").value})
Issue: After the error window displays fields that have not been completed, when I click OK the email window displays.
QUESTION: How can I stop the email window from displaying until all fields are completed?
THANKS!

Thank you so much for your quick response (and thank you for all the code that I am reusing!) I have another issue now.Can you see why the following is occurring....
I placed else in and now it edits the required fields, but once they are completed, will not initiate the email prompt. Here's what I have now
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));

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.

Pop up Window before saving remembering the need (forcing) to fill required fields in a form

Hi!
I searched the "old" forum and have very good help from UVSAR but unfortunately I'm not able to access my message sent to that forum anymore.
[I could never thank all the people who answered because I keep receiving "Your submission has triggered the spam filter and will not be accepted.""]
I've have never use Java scripts in my life: I started about three days ago.
1) I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X (Windows 7)
2) I've created a form using Microsoft Word and save it as a pdf file.
3) After I created a form using Acrobat Pro X;
3.1.) This form it's not going to be submitted over Internet. It will be send by e-mail to some persons. They will receive it, fill in the form and send it back to me via e-mail. Note: I will save it with extended rights in order to allow to be read with acrobat reader (I'm the only one of the group having Professional edition).
4) In that form I've created some text fields (for now it's just what I need - no radio buttons, dropdown
menus, and so...)
5) Choosed Properties and marked 7 fields as "required";
6) Used a script I found in here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/784322 (thank you for the authors of the thread)
if (!event.target.valueAsString) {
app.alert("My text My text", 3);
7) This script allows me to remember people to fill that 7 specific fields (when using mouse or tab).
8) So... What I really need? Here are the reasons for my request for help:
8.1.) When people use the Acrobat Reader Save button (not a button I created inside the form) it will pop up an alert message. Users will receive a pop up window telling them they need to fill those fields before saving the form and send it back to me. Can someone share a script, please? Thanks in advance.
8.2.) Is there a way to colorize the fileds that need to be filled? Again I only learned where to insert a java script yestaerday sou I'm not able to write one. I'm sorry for my newbie questions.
8.3.) Last question: In one of the fields there will be an e-mail address. On the end of the form I want to create a button like "Send by e-mail" and When someone press that button the e-mail will be sent to the address that was written in the earlier specific field. How can I do this (link a button to an e-mail address in a specific field)? Can someone help me with a script or ideas? Hope I was clear.
8.1.) UVSAR sent me the following code that works fine untill I save the document for the first time. Affter that he never shows me pop up window again.
var isFilled = true;
for (var i=0;i < this.numFields;i++){
var f = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (this.getField(f).required && !this.getField(f).valueAsString) isFilled = false;
if (!isFilled) app.alert("You must complete all the required fields");
8.3.) With the help of UVSAR I used:
var mailto = this.getField('emaddr').valueAsString;
if (mailto!='') this.mailForm({ bUI:true, cTo:mailto, cSubject:"This is the subject", cMsg: "This is the body of
the mail." });
else app.alert("Cannot submit form until the email address field is completed");
but gives me an error (Note: I named the filed with e-mail "emaddr")
Once again Thank you so very very much to all the kind people who take their time to share knowledge...
I'm not a native speaker, sorry for some errors
Best regards
AC

Hi ACI wonder if you can share any responses on to your question above?I too have never used a script but, I have the same problems as you in regards to building a form. And wants to have the same 'protection' and message reminders for the end users. Any information, including a script and/or a contact email of experts you can share with me will help tremendously. Thank you so much in advance. Winnie

Adobe Pro

Hi,
This is regarding Adobe Pro.
The requirement is a developed form is flattened and imported into the Adobe Pro.
But in the Adobe Pro, a few input fields which are placed next to each other (like Street address, city, state and Zip code) get merged into a single text box. It does not happen with all the input fields which placed next to each other.
Can anyone tell me what could be the problem? Is there any solution to avoid this?
Thanks,
Sandhya

HOW is the flattening being done? That would seem to be the problematic area.
Also, what do you mean by "a single text box"? As in a single AcroForm field? Something else?

Adobe Pro fires validation event when new page is created

Adobe Pro fires validation event when a new page is created on many fields.
When testing in Livecycle, I can add a new page fine, but with Adobe Pro a large list of errors appears and the fields are highlighted in red.
The errors don't happen in other versions of Adobe.
These are valid errors if the user tried to submit a field that is required and has not been entered yet, but the error happens when the page is initially created (added).

I was able to get my role processor to work.

Enforcing required field

An unfilled required field stops submit action in form.
How can I stop another js action on the submit button until the required field is filled/the form has been submitted?
Acrobat XI Pro
ReaderXI
Win 7 Ult 32

You can't, but you can combine the "Submit a form" action and subsequent JavaScript actions by using the doc.submitForm method instead of the "Submit a form" action. It's not documented (http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.537.html), but the doc.submitForm method returns true if the submit took place, and false otherwise, so your script can check the return value and proceed accordingly.
The alternative is to check each required field in the script and only proceed with the submit if they all check out. This is a bit more flexible, but you lose the red field outlines that indicate the problem fields.

Adobe Pro X and Bates/Page Numbering Cuts off 1/3 of Page - Please Help

Hello!
We have been using both the bates and page numbering features in Adobe Pro X on Windows 7 with various .pdf files. However, when we scan files using Adobe Pro 6 on XP in combination with a Visioneer/Xerox Documate 632 scanner, and when adding bates or page numbers to these files, the image on the page shifts and cuts off one-third of the image. (We use Adobe Pro 6 and XP with this scanner because Pro 6 is not compitable with Windows 7 and Pro X requires too many mouse clicks when compared to Pro 6; thus saving time in the field. We like the page and bates numbering feature in Pro X because it shrinks the document to avoid overwriting texts and graphics.
Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue aside from using Pro X with the time spent using the additional mouse clicks?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Suzbat,
If you try to print any other document from any other application. Did you check, are you facing the same issue or not?
Have you tried to install latest drivers of the printer.
