Form Validation On Print

Hello,

How do I validate a PDF before the person is allowed to print it? I basically want this functionality:

Any assistance would be awesome!

 

I have attached the document I am working on. There is other javascript in there for the drop downs, but I cannot seem to get the ON PRINT validation working.

 

I am using Adobe Acrobat DC.

 

Thank you,

You have a function with the name "validateFields", but you doesn't use/call the function.

Yes! I noticed that and fixed it, thanks! Another question, do you know how to update the javascript so each of the missing fields appear on a new line? Right not the script has them displayed with a comma.

 

I have attached up the updated working file. Try printing it as soon as you open it and you will see what I mean.

Thanks!

Try this: app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr.toString().replace(/,/g, "\n"), 3);
