I have a couple of PDF files with several fields that I need to enter new information into every week, and then send it to somebody electronically. Is there a way In Acrobat reader I can prevent or disable the changing of information I enter into the fields by the person I send the file to?

Hi NoelC07191976

Actually, that can be done using Acrobat: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-lock-form-fields-using-a-digital-signature

Let me know if that helps.

Using Reader, you may use the tool "Certificate tool" to sign the document. And once you make up to the point 10,

if you look at the link above there is an option lock the document.

Let me know if that helps.
