Question for Creating PDF’s

How do you make one or two text boxes within your PDF encrypted? I need to collect banking information for my clients using a PDF form that we created to authorize autopay using ACH or a Credit/Debit Card. The form is complete, however I'm uncomfortable requesting sensitive information via email without providing our clients encryption. I've watched several Youtube videos and browsed the Adobe site to resolve my dilemma; but, to no avail.

There is no secure way of doing that. If you need to receive sensitive information PDF files are not the way to go.

The only secure way of doing it in a PDF, I think, is to submit the form data to a secured HTTPS server, and then clear the PDF form from all data. However, that won't prevent the user from saving the file with the sensitive data before they submitted it, but then it's their responsibility, not yours.
