Hi Mr. Expert,
I am using Acrobat Professional 7.0. I want to be sure that users can not leave the signature reason empty. How can I reach it on init. I know about folder level script, but what should I write into it. (What I know works only on one signature field. But if sy. creates a new document, there are no fields, yet.)
Best regard, Tibor

I'm not quite sure about this one. I don't think you can stop the signing processs from a script, but there are some things that you can try.

#1 You can pre-set the Reason value if you control the signing processs from JavaScript. Of course this will have to be done from a Privileged script.

#2 You may also be able to use one of the signature field events to get some level of control over the process. Try putting some analysis and test scripts into the "Keystroke" and signing event for a signature field. Unforturnately setting event.rc = false won't have an affect, but there might be something else you can affect, it's worth playing around with to see what you can and can't do.

Good Luck,
Thom Parker
