[thelist] PDF validation routines

[Kim Bonfils]

Hi

I have a few annoing newbie questions about the validation routines in 
Adobe Acrobat (I'm using the 4.0 version):

The validation only seems to be triggered by change in a field. Is it 
impossible to check when the user moves to field B whether field A has been 
filled in at all? (I know you can check it on submit after filling out the 
entire form, but our client would like the error messages to be generated 
along the way - and that makes sense to me, too)

Is there any onPrint-like event? That is: Can an event (eg. a form 
submission) be triggered by the user printing out the document? I presume 
the opposite is possible: To force a print on submit...

How would you go about creating a comma-separated file from the fields in 
the form and mail it to a specified address or submit it to a specified 
url? To be more specific: Is it possible to  create a string variable that 
can be exported as a file from the document? And can you use escape 
characters such as tabs?

Like I said, utter newbie questions, sorry, but I'm a bit pressed for time 
here, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

I mean, greatly!
