Acrobat -- Block Forbidden Words in Form Fields

This script allows you to define a list of "forbidden" words which the users are not allowed to fill in the form fields in your PDF file. The list can either be imported from a text file, or it can be entered manually.

This script allows you to define a list of "forbidden" words which the users are not allowed to fill in the form fields in your PDF file.
The list can either be imported from a text file, or it can be entered manually.
You can also define what should happen if any of the forbidden words is entered. The options are:

  • Reject the text the user entered in its entirety.
  • Remove the forbidden words and accept the rest of the text.
  • Replace the forbidden words with something else (for example "XXX" or "***"), and accept the new text.

Also, for each of these options you can define an error message to be shown to the user, with the text you specify.

Here's how it looks like when you use the tool:

In the first dialog you make your selections, and enter the list of forbidden words.


When you press OK, the tool applies the required scripts to the selected text field.
If a user then enters text into one of those fields with one (or more) forbidden words, the tool goes into action when the field is exited.



In this case, the error message is shown:


And then the forbidden words are replaced by "XXX":



As can be seen, the tool is case-insensitive and will identify both exact matches ("Fuck" in this case) as well as partial matches ("shitty") to the list of forbidden terms.This script allows you to define a list of "forbidden" words which the users are not allowed to fill in the form fields in your PDF file.

I've been working with Gilad for almost 7 years on an evolving project that relies on lengthy complicated scripts. The turnaround times, pricing and accuracy are excellent. His depth of knowledge has been extremely helpful in helping define issues and offering options to accomplish the tasks. The add on scripts have been essential to maintaining and updating our existing documents as well. I highly recommend his services and products.

We first started working with Gilad back in 2015. I found him online in looking through different forum sites and realized he is an expert in Adobe and creating java scripts. I started with a small project and quickly realized he was an asset to have as a resource! Gilad has completed over 50 different projects for me. Each project has been completed on-time and he has been extremely easy to communicate with and his coding has always been accurate! I highly recommend Gilad and his team!

Gilad exceeded my expectations with nine different projects in which I sought his developer expertise.  He looks at your concept and suggests ways to make it more efficient.   Gilad sees additions or modifications you never considered and which ultimately prove invaluable.  If your concept has shortcomings, Gilad takes the time to explain them and then work with you to correct or replace them.  I wholeheartedly and unequivocally endorse Gilad as an expert developer.
