Validations for fillable PDF form fields
For PDF files with fillable fields, there's an easy way to validate the entered data. In addition to marking fields as required in the PDF itself, you can also set additional validations.
To validate a PDF form field, you can trigger the following validation rules by naming the form field something that ends with the suffix -x-assently-… (see below).
NOTE! Don't use special characters in the field names!
