how to disable existing fields in free Acrobat DC

Hi Tariq and gkaiseril,

Thank you for your help.

For your idea "read-only", it's not possible in my situation because the fields must be used.

To illustrate my question, look the next picture. It's the same document.

The first open in Acrobat Reader XI. The second, in Acrobat Reader DC.

You look the difference, in DC I have blue rectangles which show us where are the fields.

I want delete it. You think it's possible in Free Acrobat DC ?

Thank you

Hi Vincent,

I am not sure what you mean by disabling existing fields. Is this a form? What all fields you have on the form and why you need to disable those fields?

Also, in the meantime please visit this tutorial: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-set-form-fields-to-read-only it defines how to turn the fields "read-only."

Let us know if this helps.

Please clarify what you men by "disable"?

If one turns off JavaScript then the field calculations will be disabled.

If you mean the green/blue message bar. then that is a change due to the upgrade to a new major version.
