Question

Password protecting fillable forms.

I have created a form in InDesign and then exported as Interactive PDF. I have 'locked it down' with a password to stop anyone with full Acrobat editing it. I need different people to complete parts of the form, so I have then made it Reader Extended. Ideally I want people with just Acrobat Reader to be able to password protect the form before mailing it onwards. Can we do that? How? Thanks!

Reader does not have password protection functionality.

Thanks. Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. I am aware that Reader doesn't have password protection function. I just wondered if anyone knew of a work around or 3rd party app.
