Interactive Form - Atleast one required field was empty

[former_member191528]

Hello All,

I made a PDF form interactive and I am getting the following error when I try to click on email button. All the elements of the form are made read only. Am I missing something ?

I don't see any highlighted fields in my form ?

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

I believe you have one field that has the type "user entered required" (Value -> Type, Object palette) and it does not have a value.

The dialog assumes that if a field requires the user to enter data it is not set to read-only.

So If it is acceptable that the value is empty you'll need to change the type for that (or all) such fields.

Hi Juergen,

I went through all the fields twice and they have been set as read only. Is there a way to detect which field it is ?

Thanks,

Hi Kiran,

I would open the XML Source (right click next to PDF Preview) and search for "<validate nullTest="error"/>". You may have to copy the xml code or just open the XDP in a text editor.

I also just checked and confirmed that a field gets highlighted if it is read-only and has no value.

I assume you are using scripting as well since the Designer UI actually prevents you from creating read-only fields and value required.

Best,

Juergen

Hi Juergen,

Thank you for your precise instructions. I was able to search for "<validate nullTest = "error"/>" in the XML Source.  The field was a datetime field and it was in a table which was Hidden and Excluded from Layout. I just removed the "<validate nullTest = "error"/>" from XML and saved and activated it.

The functionality is working fine now.

Thanks,

Kiran
