How can I prevent a form being printed when required fields are not filled out?

[geurtk3761858]

I've made a form with a lot of required fields. But I'm still able to print (cmd p) the form when these fields are not filled out. How can I prevent this? And make a pop-up appear with the massage that all required fields need to be filled out to be able to print the form. I'm using the Dutch version of Acrobat CC.

Thanks in advance!

You can't prevent someone from printing the file entirely.

What you can do, though, is show an error message when the file is about to be printed, and/or clear the values of the form fields, so it prints as a blank form. To achieve that you can use this script I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Validate Required Fields Before Printing or Saving
