Currently I am creating a form for my company to use.  I want make the form a template without anyone being able to save over the blank copy.  I am using Adobe Pro DC to create and protect the document.  I have gone into protect and secured the file with a password, made it so there is no editing, made it so no one can change anything.  The only thing they can do is fill in the fields of the form, but they are still able to save the form over the current one.  The form needs to be saved as a "copy of" the original and not overwrite the original.  How do I do this on Adobe Pro DC?

Thank you for whatever help I can get.

There not a setting you can make within the PDF that can control this. You can make the file read-only in the file system and Acrobat/Reader won't overwrite it.
