Question

Preventing updates in a Fillable Form

  • May 8, 2020

I've created a fillable form so I can provide feedback to a person. I noticed the form could still be updated after I saved it and I want the other person to only be able to read it. How do I prevent editing after saving? I clicked on Protection so the reader cannot edit, but that did not work.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Add a Signature field and set it to lock all the fields when signed (under Properties - Signed). Then sign it.

Hi,

 

Are you saying that you added password protection to prevent editing and the user is still able to edit the PDF?

 

What program are you using to create a PDF?

 

And what is the user opening the PDF with?
