Set Document Actions

Question

Hi,
I simply want to notify a user that a required field is blank when they print or save the PDF.
Based on other posts in the forum, I added the following JavaScript in Set Document Actions > Document Will Save and Document Will Print.
function checkField(aField)
if (!aField.required)
    return 1;
if (aField.value == "") // empty field
    var msg = "No Required fields can be left empty.";
    app.alert(msg);
    return 0;
return 1;
} // end of function
However, when I leave a required field blank, I don't receive the message.
Is there an error in the JavaScript above?  Does it matter that some of the required fields are text and some are numbers?
Thanks for any assistance,
Natalie

You will have to "walk" the array or run the test on each element of the array of field objects. You should change your code to return the result from testing all of the fields and not just an individual field.
Also you may need to check that the field is field that can be tested for the "required" property and for some fields like check boxes or radio buttons you may need to perform some additional test.
