Warning Alert

[Sakina Kanji]

Hi I was wondering if was possible to create a warning alert before they close the pdf to alert them if they have not completed all the aspects of the pdf.

Hi Sakina,

 

Thanks for asking.

 

There is a Close trigger in the Document Settings. You can put Javascript to detect if all fields are finished and show alert if needed. Hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Yang

i found this similar code, but i am still unsure if I can even use a function in cenopdf or if i have to call on the indviual identifies or if i could call on them based on a number

 

i would appreciate any help

 

function checkscript() {
	for (i=0;i<4;i++) {
		box = document.example.elements[i];
		if (!box.value) {
			alert('You haven\'t filled in ' + box.name + '!');
			box.focus()
			return false;
		}
	}
	return true;
}

Hi Sakina,

 

Your script is for HTML. So it won’t work with PDFs.

 

To use Javascript to program PDFs you will need to refer to Javascript for Acrobat API Reference that can be found from this page:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html

 

In your case, you can go to CenoPDF > Document Settings to add some scripts to the “Close” trigger.

 

In your scripts, you can use getField to find the text box and use the valueAsString to check its contents.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Yang
