Question

"Submit a Form" Required field does not stop Submit

A form able to work in Windows or Android etc. is required.

It has to have a 'Submit' button and some 'Required' fields.

Apparently the only 'submit' action that is supported by Reader for mobile is 'mailto:<target email address>' placed in the URL of the 'Submit a Form' action builder. This 'Submit' setup works on both Windows and Android.

The problem is that this does not check the Required fields. Any empty ones do not stop a 'Submit' action.

Can this problem be overcome, and if so how?

Are you submitting to a url that is a scripted web page to process the form?

Hi gkaiseril.

No, I am not submitting to a URL. I am using what Adobe documentation on Reader modile says is the only submit method that the Reader version that works on mobile operating systems. Instead of a URL, you insert the script 'mailto:' followed by the target email address.
