How can we create a text field in Adobe Acrobat to only accept input in English characters?
If a user attempts to enter a non-English character, the input rejects.

 

Please Help me 🙂

You could restrict input to ASCII characters using a keystroke script. 

 

Use this custom keystroke script

if(!event.willCommit)
   event.rc = event.change.split("").every(function(a){return a.charCodeAt(0)< 128});
