Required Fields Completed Before Printing

Question

I am looking to enforce that required fields must be completed before printing. I have set each of the text fields properties to required and created a print button. I'm unfamiliar with JavaScript and I am not sure where to go from here. Any help or resources would be appreciated.

You can't really do that. The required fields are only used when submitting the file.

What you can do, though, is to force the printed copy to be blank, or to include an error message on the pages saying the file is not valid because not all of the required fields are filled in. To do that you would need to use a script, like this (paid-for) one I've developed: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/12/acrobat-validate-fields-before-printing.html
