Fillable Forms

[Peter37077418lfgf]

I created a filalble pdf form with fields and forward to my staff  fill-up to and submit to my email Id.

All is well, however staff me the form or forward to other staff, the fields are editable.

How can I lock the form once staff submit and no longer be changed. Btw no signature is required for the form. Appreciate any help!

Thank you

Here are three options for you:

1.  You can print the form to PDF which will remove the fields but keep their values as a graphic. 

2.  You can flatten the form with this script (will not work with Reader):  this.flattenPages(); 

3.  You could also run a script to change the read only property of all fields to true like this:

for(var i = this.numFields - 1; i > -1; i--)
{
var fieldName = this.getNthFieldName(i);
this.getField(fieldName).readonly=true;
}
