Export PDF with JavaScript to Off Line PDF

We finally completed our form that has several time stamps (JavaScript) and now we need our employees to use the document on several different computers as needed to complete their work.  Problem is when we export or save the document/pdf and pull it up on the computers, the JavaScript fields don't work.  We will be using these documents frequently and need to have the time stamps locked so they are not changed and then save the PDFs to a folder and continue to use the original pdf to fill out again retaining blank time stamps to be filled in again on the next fillable form.  Is this possible to do off line without being in pro dc?

The scripts will work when you open the file in Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

You can do it using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. It probably won't work if you open the file inside a browser, though, as the PDF plugins used there are sub-par.
