I'm creating a PDF form that has a checkbox "Other" with two lines underneath. I want to require the fields be filled in, but only if they check "other." I need help!

Thanks in advance,

Linda

If you want to make fields required when checkbox is checked, you can use this code as Mouse UP event of checkbox:

this.getField("Field1").required = event.target.value != "Off" ? true : false;
this.getField("Field2").required = event.target.value != "Off" ? true : false;

Change field names to your field names.
