Prevent the 'Send Email' dialog box until the required fields are filled

I am new to JS and fight with a last piece of code.

I have a form with several fields. I send the form as an attachment to e-mail and need the required fields completed before the form can be sent by e-mail.

Currently, I have a display alert message if all of the required fields are empty, but if I cancel the box warning, the 'send Email' dialog appears immediately and I can send the form even if the required fields are empty. I want the 'Send Email' box to appear only after completing all the required text boxes.

The problem seems to be with the if/else line (IF all fields req. are empty, send alert. OTHERWISE open the box "Send email"). What is the best way to write this? Ideally, I would like to alert to list specific areas that are empty. Here is what I have at the moment - but obviously something wrong):

If (requiredFields.length > 0) {}
App.Alert (Error);

} else


var subject = this.getField("JobNumber").value + '-application form;
this.mailDoc({)
cTo: "[email protected]"

})

(Using Acrobat XI - thanks in advance!)

LAST UPDATED 18/12/15

Talk with someone @ Adobe (through our IT people we actually received a CONF. call w / an Acrobat expert!)

It turned out to be the word "subject" in our Javascript. The word
"subject" is a reserved word in newer formats and is read-only in
Drive.  So we had to redefine the word & read "subject".

Works great!

  • The required fields are not displayed message when left blank

    Hello

    I set fields as required in the value, the field Type as user entered - required tab. Also, I entered a message in the empty Message field. When the user fills out the form, they are allowed to send the form without fill in the fields.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Use the preSubmit event to check required fields / required before sending...

    Check the wire for ideas below.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/606762?TSTART=0

    Usually, if you use the required field and submit the form, it will display the warning message that the required fields are missing, and continue to submit the form. It is therefore preferable to use the programmatic approach for the control on the form submission.

    When you search for the values of field programmatically, you must set the Type property of the value type as input by the user - option.

  • Digital signature field-how to disable until all required fields are valid?

    I have a document with several required fields, but the user can sign the form without worrying if these fields are valid. Is an option in LiveCycle to control this, IE invalid Signature field until all required fields are true? I think that this could include additional JavaScript. However, I would like to get some advice from others with more expertise.

    Thank you
    Andy

    Hi Andy,.

    Here's a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=rm5V4y7ANBcmZTsrcXxp1w

    It uses two functions execValidate(), which validates the form and returns true, the form is valid and false if there are errors. PreSign event has access to the cancelAction property, so if there are errors, the cancelAction is set to true.

    I also used the new form Validation features in LC Designer ES2 to combine error messages.

    Good luck

  • How can I restrict people to print, save or send the form unless all required fields are filled?

    I made a form with several fields. The form will be on an intranet page, and people will be able to download the form, fill it out and save you, by post or print it out.

    However, I want to fill all the required fields. How can I prevent that people are able to save, send or print the form when some required fields are not filled.

    It is not possible. But you can post a message.

  • User alert registration PDF if the required fields are empty/null

    Greetings,

    I read a lot of threads on this topic. I'm not trying to force the user to stay in one area or otherwise, be annoyed. I would like to just draw the attention of the user when they record the PDF file if there are mandatory fields have not been completed. The alert message would simply be a reminder polite form before sending.

    I use Acrobat Pro XI.

    (1) is the other tasks/Set Document Actions / Document will save the right place to use a script in this case?

    (2) the script will check each field required name? Or is it possible to reference all the fields requested in the document?

    (3) I have seen a few examples like this:

    f = getField (event.target.name)

    If (f.value.length == 0)

    {

    f.setFocus)

    App.Alert ("this field is required. Please enter a value. »)

    }

    However there are some problems regarding the closure of the alert dialog box and so on. Can someone provide an example script to help me get started?

    Thank you!

    Exactly how you check a field is empty depends on what kind of field it is. For text fields, you must get the value of the field as a string and compare it to an empty string, something like:

    var val = getField("Text1").valueAsString;

    If {(val)

    App.Alert ("field is not empty");

    }

    If there is a default value that needs to be changed, you would compare it to the default value:

    var f = getField ("Text1");

    var val = f.valueAsString;

    If (val! == f.defaultValue) {}

    App.Alert ("field value is OK");

    }

    For checkboxes and radio buttons, you would compare it to the string "Off", which means that none in the group is selected.

    For drop-down lists (combo boxes) and list boxes, there is normally a single value selected, so you should get the value and check the default value (or something else) to see if the field is filled in correctly.

    You could place the script it, but I usually use a separate button that I encourage the user to click to activate the check box. The problem with the help of her saving the event is that you cannot stop the backup.

    The script can loop through all of the fields (and test all zeros required), or you can define an array of domain names to check.

  • Programmatic access to the "required" fields

    Hello

    My form does not have a real submit button, so "kept" built-in is not function of the field of no use to me unless I can check by program the.

    So if I do 25 page 1 required fields, I don't want to have such a long statement checking if each has a null value.

    Is there a way I can "check" to see if any mandatory field is null? There may be a way to group fields in a table, or something - but it's beyond my capabilities at this time.  I'd appreciate any help!

    How did you film script to email through button?  By nature, using the button "submit" e-mail or normal button with him present URL like "mailto:[email protected] he should check the required fields are filled.»

    You can also simply put

    XFA. Form.Form1.execValidate ();  on the click event of the button.  This will force a check on required fields. (assuming that form1 is the top most name name in your) hierarchy

    Or as you have suggested more high loop through the fields check that they are required and if they are null.

  • PDF form coming in the e-mail, but no form fields are filled

    I want to open a full PDF file and not an XML file which is sent when someone fills out a form online.  So, I made a document in Word, saved as a PDF, and then imported into LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  From there on, I created the fields in the form, add a button for the email out because the stock e-mail button does not work properly from what I've read (change the command send, add the e-mail address and change submitted as a PDF file) and save the document.  I then have an open document in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.  Go to advanced and choose enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  Then save this file under a new name.  Then I can the PDF by e-mail to someone or put it on my site.

    Here's the problem:

    When someone fills out the form, it will automatically send automatically to the correct mailbox (good).  The PDF file opens and the PDF form looks like that I designed this (good).  But all form fields that have been filled... nothing appears. all I see is my PDF (bad) form.  I tried at least a dozen ways over the past two days to create the PDF... but when the received PDF file is opened later, none of the form fields are visible with what someone types in.

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I'm not good at Adobe, but I'm learning.  I can understand most of the things, but this problem is driving me crazy.

    Thank you!

    Thr default iOS or iAnything PDF Viewer does not support on a PDF form fields.

    Without knowledge of the programs and specific systems, it is difficult to answer.

    Overview programme Apple on Macintosh systems is known to have problems with the form, and it corrupts form fields insofar as they do not display the data unless the user is in the field. It is also know to make simple PDFs unreadable.

    There could also be problems with various mail programs because PDF forms contain binary data and not simple text.

  • Message for the required field

    I have created a form in Acrobat (not LiveCycle) with Acrobat X on Windows. The form must be accessible, and I need to alert users when a required field is not filed on.

    I tried to use this code in Action, the blur for the required field:

    f = getField (event.target.name)

    If (f.value.length == 0)

    {

    f.setFocus)

    App.Alert ("this field is required. Please enter a value. »)

    }

    Although the code appear in an alert message, I can't close the alert dialog box, nor can I add that to fill the required field because I can't after the closure of the dialog box.

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Furthermore, this line:

    f = getField (event.target.name)

    can be changed to this:

    f = event.target;

    And this:

    If (f.value.length == 0)

    should be replaced by:

    If (f.valueAsString.length == 0)

    or even better:

    If (! f.valueAsString)

    Since some entries from field (for example, numbers, 'true', 'false'), the length of the value property will be indefinite, given that the value property is not a string or an array. The code works since "".length == 0 evaluates to true, and undefined is 0 is false, but it's a little sloppy. "."
