How to prevent printing from PDF menu function (Adobe DC Pro)

In order to check whether all the required field are filled in, I'm going to add Print button in PDF with the checking function via Adobe DC Pro.

But if user execute Print menu (File->Print menu) or press keyboard Ctrl+P, print dialog will be displayed.

 

How can we prevent printing from Print menu and Ctrl+P (not to display print dialog)?

When Print menu or Ctrl+P is executed, I'd like to show message such as 'Please print from Print button', and cancel the print dialog showing.

    This is not possible.

    Assume that it's not possible via Adobe DC Pro, but it can be done by Adobe AEM(or LiveCycle Designer). Is this understanding correct?

    I have had Livecycle Designer (11.0.1) since Acrobat 10, really just using Designer, not Acrobat.  I am no expert but Designer is very flexible and allows conferring edit. print, copy, password encryption, (many) rights.  The Designer .pdf file is then finished in Acrobat Pro, conferring 'save the unique data' utility, via 'reader extensions'.  Checking for all fields being filled in, identifying required empty fields be completed, is a utility you can demand while saving.  I am just scratching the surface of scripting, but scripting is robust (calculator or text script languages).  I hope this helps you! I visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka in 1984.  One hotel night, two nights on overnight trains.  Not nearly enough time, but a start!
