How do you get Required field to work in PDF Form field

I created a fill-in form and marked some of the fields required and saved the document.  But it is not working.  You can still not fill in the required fields and print the form.  What can I do to correct this?

The required fields are only validated when the file is submitted, not printed or saved.
If you want to utilize them in those events as well then you need to use a script, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Validate Required Fields Before Printing or Saving
