Question

Lock on Forms upon Submission?

  • December 3, 2016

Hello,

I am attempting to create a shared form that locks the submission each time a user has completed the required fields. Is this possible? If so, how do I set that up?

In other words, I don't want users to be able to alter previous submissions on the form.

Thanks!

1) The first and easiest way would be to create a signature field and set its properties to lock the choice of fields.

2) The second easiest way would be to create a javascript script that loops thru the fields and make the readonly attribute = true. The fields will not be permanently readonly, and this process can be reversed.

For method #2 see the following link: Re: PDF Form - code to lock form fields on submit BUT NOT if *required fields are not complete
