How does the Validate Required Form Fields work?
Check that every form field marked as "required" in a PDF has a value. Required is determined from the field's flag bit (the AcroForm /Ff bit 2, set by the form author when designing the template). The output is a pass/fail report listing any required fields left blank, with their page numbers and types so reviewers can find them quickly. Useful for receivers wanting to bounce back incomplete submissions before processing them.
