Is there a way to make a javascript that would toggle the security on a pdf form on and off by pressing a button?

Our users want to be able to save changes to a pdf form we made in Acrobat 11 Pro with the Adobe Reader and then be able to save the filled in form so no further changes can be made. Please let me know if there is a way to do this with a javascript that could be run with a button in Acrobat Reader.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks Bernd! Is there a way to put a button on the form in Acrobat 11 Pro that would set the read-only property on all fields when the form is enabled for use with Acrobat Reader? I don't know much about Javascript and was hoping there was a way to add a button that would do a select all, change property of all fields to read-only and that should do the trick!!
