Fillable PDF Form does not show required fields

    However, none of my required fields were required anymore and if a field is left blank, it does not show up on the submission results at all.  So, I can't even ask the client the question...

    You are correct, required fields are not required in the fillable PDF. 

    However, I am forwarding this feature request to our developers for them to consider to implemente said feature. We will update you here as soon as we have and further information.

    In regards of your question that when a field is left in blank, it does not show up on the submission results, as it is set by default, but you can go ahead and change that option, please do as follows:

    1 - From My Forms check on the form, then submissions, as shown below:

    2 - Click on the gear, uncheck the Auto Hide Empty Fields:

    I hope this information helps.
