Created a fill-in pdf form using Adobe Acrobat with several required fields and then a submit button using the 'submit a form' action. The pdf form will submit even though a required input field hasn't been completed. It works just fine and gives an error message when all required fields aren't completed, but as soon as one required field is completed (but other required field are not completed), it submits the form. I don't want them to be able to submit unless all required fields are complete.

Are you testing it in Adobe Acrobat or Reader, or some other PDF viewer?
Can you share the file with us?

I'm testing it with Adobe Acrobat.

Not true. The built-in "Submit a form" command should perform this validation. No script is needed.

Yes, I've used this before for many forms, and the 'Submit a Form' action always validated that there was entry in the required fields, but it doesn't seem to be working now with the same field properties. Not sure why. Thank you.

Thank you. On all my prior forms, I have used the 'submit a form' function and it has always validated all required fields prior to allowing the submit, and I never used java script. Not sure why it isn't working now.
Get ready! An upgraded Adobe Community experience is coming in January.
