My client wants a button for the users to save their work prior to
submitting.
I de-selected the validation required for each field. How do I
validate without
using the checkbox? Please, don't say look it up at Adobe. Examples,
Please...

Hello David,

I need some more information about this. Saving form data and
validation are two seperate tasks.

Our FAQ1 explained the alternatives to saving or submiting a form:
http://www.lystech.com/faq.aspx#q1

Validation is a stage before Adobe Reader accepts user's input. It can
happen on any field. Can you tell me how you use the check box about
the validation?

Thanks,

sorry, I wasn't clear, the checkbox is in the cenopdf required fields area.
I want to save the users data prior to submit without the required fields.
Basically, re-using the submit criteria for a pre-save. I thought, if I
de-selected the required fields then validated on submit that would
work as a workaround. Any ideas or working samples?
tia,
David

David,

I might need to see your actual form to fully understand what you
need. At this moment, I created a sample form for you to see if this
is helpful. You can download it here:

http://groups.google.com/group/cenosupport/web/test.pdf
http://groups.google.com/group/cenosupport/web/test.doc

Basically you can use the following javascript to control if a field
is required or not (set to true or false):

this.getField("text").required = false;

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll look at it this weekend and let you know.
My client has many forms so I will need to automate
this procedure.
Thanks again,
David
