I created a PDF form, with LiveCycle, I want to validate Text Fields, where the user enter alpha characters plus special characters, by example (~,#,",_,space, /,\).
How can I do that..?
My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows
There are two ways to validate a text fields. First, LiveCycle documents use a formatting string called the "Picture Clause", and there is a reference for it on this page.

You can validate a complex pattern with the Picture Clause and display a message to the user through the "Objects/Data" tab in LiveCycle.
The ogher method is to use JavaScript in the fields "Validation" Event. To do this you'll need to learn how to use JavaScript and Regular expressions.
