Printing button in PDF fillable form.

[Zayed_Stell]

Dear All,

I have created a PDF fillable form with a button which save & print the pdf.

The code for is as fallow:

Formular1.#pageSet[0].Seite1.Bildfeld1::click - (JavaScript, client)

var Mailto = "info@stell.de";

var Betreff = Textfeld1.rawValue;

var Nachricht = "Dies ist eine Telefonnotiz\r2.Zeile Hier";

var CC = "info@stell.de";

var BCC = "info@stell.de";

var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + Betreff + "&Body=" + Nachricht + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;

1. event.target.submitForm({

cURL: Mail,

bEmpty: false,

cSubmitAs: "PDF"

});

1. event.target.closeDoc(true); (FormClac)

Formular1.#pageSet[0].Seite1.DruckenSchaltfläche1::click - (JavaScript, client)

1. xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

my problem now is that with this script I can print and save the file even though all required fields are not filled!! I donot anyone to have the possibility to print the file or save it unless he fill all required fileds.

1. Any Idea, coz Iam new in the Adobe Livecycle world

HI,

you can use the validate element to prevent users from printing a form.

See: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/13/prevent-printing-pdf-forms-in-acrobat-8/

But you never can prevent users from saving a form.

[Zayed_Stell]

I just wanted to allow the users to print the PDF or save it ONLY when they have filled the entir document. this is not possible at all?

[Zayed_Stell]

can I send you the document to know what I mean?

I canot upload it over here?

[radzmar]

Please read the article under the link I posted before.

There you'll get all details of how to prevent the printing and a sample form you can work with.

Keep in mind that it isn't possible to prevent the saving, this only works for printing, submitting and data connections.

[Zayed_Stell]

Thanks a lot for your reply

I sow the article, but the only problem is that the source code for the print button is exactly what I write and I cannot integrate the element code in it. Since in the article is says change the source code and look for

“

XML Source in Designer and find the following mark-up about 2/3 way down:

<config xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xci/1.0/">

<agent name="designer">

      ...

   </agent>

   <present>

      <!--  [0..n] -->

      ...

”

I don’t have this part in my script!

[radzmar]

What version of Designer do you use?

[Zayed_Stell]

Version 9

[radzmar]

Ok,

than you need to add the validate element under the <config> tag as it doesn't exist by default.

Before:

<config xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xci/3.0/">
   <agent name="designer">
      <!--  [0..n]  -->
      <destination>pdf</destination>
      <pdf>
         <!--  [0..n]  -->
         <fontInfo/>
      </pdf>
   </agent>
   <present>
      <!--  [0..n]  -->
      <pdf>
         <!--  [0..n]  -->
         <fontInfo/>
         <version>1.7</version>
         <adobeExtensionLevel>5</adobeExtensionLevel>
      </pdf>
      <xdp>
         <packets>*</packets>
      </xdp>
   </present>
</config>

After:

<config xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xci/3.0/">
   <agent name="designer">
      <!--  [0..n]  -->
      <destination>pdf</destination>
      <pdf>
         <!--  [0..n]  -->
         <fontInfo/>
      </pdf>
   </agent>
   <present>
      <!--  [0..n]  -->
      <pdf>
         <!--  [0..n]  -->
         <fontInfo/>
         <version>1.7</version>
         <adobeExtensionLevel>5</adobeExtensionLevel>
      </pdf>
      <xdp>
         <packets>*</packets>
      </xdp>
   </present>
   <!-- This is the validate element to prevent printing, when mandatory fields are empty -->
   <acrobat>
      <validate>prePrint</validate>
   </acrobat>
</config>

[Zayed_Stell]

and where should I insert this code?

[radzmar]

Go to the XML-Source and look for the <config> tag and add this snippet.

<acrobat>
      <validate>prePrint</validate>
</acrobat>

I donot want to ask silly questions , but really I canot find the XML source code. all what I can find is this:
