How to make a required checkbox field stop a submission form if not checked.

Hello

I have a form needs people to accept both boxes before submitting the form when you click a button.

I use Acrobat X Pro.

The form does not present when a required text field is empty, but when the boxes are empty again tries to present.

How can I work around this problem?

Thank you.

You can't do it directly, but there is a workaround solution. Create a (hidden) text field and set it as required. As a custom text field calculation script, enter the following code:

This.getField("Check_Box1").value = Event.Value == "Off"? "": this.getField("Check_Box1").value;

This will prevent the submitted document if "Check Box1" is unchecked. The downside is that the box will not be underlined in red when validation fails, but at least the record will not submit partially filled in.

Alternatively, you can write you own validation script, which can provide a comprehensive report which fields have yet to be filled before submitting the file.

  • If a box is how to make a required text field

    Hello

    I'm hoping someone out there can help me.

    I have created a form in adobe acrobat 9, I have one checkbox called 'other' and a field of text called "other_please_specify". What I hope to do is when a user selects the "other" box the text field 'other_please_specify' becomes necessary. I need also some sort of action if a user turns off the "other" box then the text field 'other_please_specify' is required.

    Can someone help me understand this?

    Thanks in advance

    Possibly by that you mean the property of the EmployeeID field, the script of the mouse to the top of the box can be something like:

    (function () {
    
        // Get a reference to the text field
        var f = getField("other_please_specify");
    
        // Set the required property depending on the check box state
        if (event.target.value !== "Off") {
            f.required = true;
        } else {
            f.required = false;
        }
    
    })();
    

    The 'if' block can be simplified to:

        // Set the required property depending on the check box state
        f.required = event.target.value !== "Off";

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

    Let me know if I can help you with this question or any problem related to Windows.

  • How to make a required field

    I use Adobe LiveCycle 8.0. I just created my first form. There are a few fields I want to make required. I already have from the TAB order, the way I need it to be. Here's what I got: If a user begins to fill the form does not fill in the information in the customer ID field, & they type the tab key, I want some sort of error appears telling them the customer ID field is required. Is this possible? Thank you

    As Dallas Kuhn said:

    If (this.rawValue == "| this.rawValue == null) {}

    xfa.host.messageBox ("the customer ID field is required.");

    }

    The script must be added to the Exit event for the customer ID field.

    Can you post the form and I'll have a look?

  • How to make the optional password field to create the user form?

    Hello

    IM generate a random password when I create a new user on OIM.

    The only problem is that I do not know how to do the fields:
    -Password
    -Confirm password

    ... be optional.

    Since they are mandatory, the user must enter a password, even if it will not be used, because I generate a random password and overwrite.

    I already looked in the FormMetaData.xml in the section

    < name of the form '3' = >

    ... but the fields, I would like to make optional are not included.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Adriano.

    Certainly, you need to change tjspGenerateCreateUserForm.jsp

    Example:



    value = "abcd1234" Refresh = "true" readonly = "true" styleClass = "Fields" tabindex = "1" / >



    value = "abcd1234" Refresh = "true" readonly = "true" styleClass = "Fields" tabindex = "2" / >

  • How to make the PDF text field to be strikes do not copy/paste from previous text fields?

    Dear friends

    Helps to solve a problem related to the fields of PDF text, please

    Is there a way to make a PDF of the respondent, which ends of fields text to type own text not copy/paste of the previous text fields?

    Thank you very much!

    Copy the following code, used as key event custom field of your field, will prevent to enter more than one character at a time, which means that copy it text from an external source is not possible:

    if (event.change.length>1) event.rc=false;
    

    However, you can inform your users of this restriction, or they think that something is wrong with the file.

    Here, I realized that when I click on the name of the column (in page 1) it brings me to the next page (page 2). but in the next page (P2) I want to display (display only) the corresponding values of the column (page 1) selected, but the values are not editable and shouldn't be in the text box must be in display area.

  • Selection of the language makes the required password field

    Hello

    I use jDeveloper 12.1.2

    I have a login page with name, password selection and the language of the user (component SelectOneChoice - soc1). I have a value change listener in the field of languages selectonechoice which will set the locale to the newly selected language. I put partial triggers on the name field and the password of the user for soc1. It comes to make the labels the user name and password appear in the selected language. This makes the password field if necessary even if there is value in the field. I also noticed that this occurs only when the language is other than English.

    My lines jsff for the user name, password, and language are-

    "< af:inputText label =" #{loginBean.usernameLabel} "id ="it1"value =" #{loginBean.username} "required ="true ".

    showRequired = "true" autoComplete = "off" partialTriggers = "soc1.

    / >

    "< af:inputText label =" #{loginBean.passwordLabel} "id ="it2"value =" #{loginBean.password} "required ="true ".

    secret = "true" showRequired = "true" autoComplete = "off" partialTriggers = "soc1.

    / >

    < af:selectOneChoice label = 'language '.

    "value =" #{loginBean.Language} "id ="soc1"binding =" #{loginBean.soc1} "autoSubmit = 'true '.

    valueChangeListener = "#{loginBean.localeChangeListener} '"

    >

    < af:selectItem label = 'English' value = "" id = "si1" binding = "#{loginBean.si1}" / >

    < af:selectItem label = 'French' value = 'fr' id = "si2" binding = "#{loginBean.si2}" / >

    < / af:selectOneChoice >

    The value change listener code is-

    Private Sub changeLocale (language: String) {}

    This.setLanguage (Language);

    Locale newLocale = new local (language);

    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance ();

    context.getViewRoot () .setLocale (newLocale);

    }

    {} public void localeChangeListener (ValueChangeEvent vce)

    changeLocale (vce.getNewValue m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString (()))

    }

    I have the tag f: view with the locale defined as local = "#{loginBean.locale}". "

    Whenever I change the language other than English, the password field is back with the error required, even if there is value in the field. He can't if I choose the language than English. can anyone shed light on what I'm doing wrong here.

    Thank you

  • How to make a text expanding field in Acrobat Pro?

    I am trying to create a PDF form with text fields that expand as the information is entered.  I know it can be done in Adobe Livecycle Designer, but I have to be able to do in Acrobat Pro.  I need to be able to save the form once it is filled in and potentially make changes or add additional information later.  That's where I met a problem with Livecycle because I do not have the Extension of Livecycle Reader nor do I have a server to install the Extension of Livecycle Reader on.  Help, please!

    You should not have LiveCycle Reader Extensions to what you want to do. Acrobat is able to activate Reader a form that you create with LiveCycle Designer so that it can be registered with the player. He added not all rights of use which can Reader Extensions, but what you have said you probably don't need them.

  • How to make a loaded.swf to stop a loop inside a clip

    I have a .swf which loads in a video into a Flash site. The .swf has all the stops needed to play once and stop once loaded. During a test outside the clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I stop this loop?  (This only happenes to .swf that have been made in CS4, does not happen with older .swfs made in Macromedia)

    Regarding the speed of the loaded swf file, it adapts to the FPS of your FLA file.  Change the frames per second setting in the FLA and then try to publish your new SWF file.  As applying a stop action you might be able to do, but I would check with Ned question first of all in terms of if you use ActionScript 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0.
