Is it possible to force users to click on a required button before being able to save the form?

I created a PDF form in Adobe pro DC and I added 4 required buttons, I want to prevent the user from saving unless the required buttons are selected (all 4 buttons).

Thanks

You can't prevent the file from being saved entirely (unless it's done from a button you added to it), but you can display an error message and/or force the fields in the saved version to be empty. You can use this script I've developed for that purpose: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Validate Required Fields Before Printing or Saving
