Hi

I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - how can I save a fillable form I have filled in as non-editable by the people I send it to?

Thanks

      Hi cybelex,

      Please let me know the application using which the form is created?

      Hi Aadesh

      The document has been created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro by our graphic designer. It is a certificate template which I then enter the details into the fields and want to send on to the learner - however, I don't want the learner to be able to change the details in the fields and create their own certificates! Even if I save the document with a different name and email it, the recipient can still edit the fields. How can I get around this? I do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my machine, only Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

      Thanks

      Jane :-)

      Hi cybelex,

      Such restrictions cannot be implemented using  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. You will need Acrobat for it.

      Try suggestion from this link: How to "flatten" a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Under print production, under tool in Acrobat--> Flattener preview. Also, ::Form Field Flattening in Acrobat X
