How does a viewer see these different choices? visable, hidden, hidden but printable, visable but doesnt print. And which one shows up on the PDF as a blank field to be filled in, in a PDF that cannot be printed by the viewer recipient? Also how do I make the file readable for apple too?
A user will be able to interact with the following: Visible, Visible but doesn't print
If security is applied to a document so that printing is restricted, visible fields will still be visible in the PDF viewer.
Regarding your last question, you'll have to be more specific than "readable for apple". The default PDF viewer for OSX is the Preview application, which is able to at least most PDFs, even forms. It can also easily corrupt PDF forms in a number of ways and not respect security settings. The default PDF viewer on iOS does not support PDF forms at all. You can install much better PDF viewers on both platforms though.
