Hi, Im using Acrobat DC, I am new and I created a form and uploaded it to my website. Its working fine, but I want to secure it so that users cant download it. I want to allow filling out the form and printing, but NOT DOWNLOADING.

Is that possible and how?

Impossible. To view a PDF file it must first be downloaded.

So, there is not way to secure the form document my website? Allow users to use it, but not download and keep it for their own personal use?

Basically, no.

You can limit the amount of time a file can be used but it requires DRM protection, which is very expensive.
