The User completes a section, submits the form to our help desk. The hidden section needs to be completed by the technician completing the order. What is the easiest way to go about doing this?

The User does not need to see any of the hidden section but the technician needs to be able to see the information the user submits.

Is this "section" a part of a page? A whole page? Multiple pages? Does it contain form fields? Other interactive elements?

In trying to figure this out I have ended up with 1 form  that is only one page. Another form that has two page.  The first page the user completes they would not see the second page) but when submitted the second page would appear to the technician performing the work and be able to be completed.  There are forms fields on both pages.

I converted the pdfs to images so you can see what I am trying to work with.  The pdf with 2 pages exported the images as separate images.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

The images aren't really helping because I can't see what's a form field and what's not... Basically, though, you can hide the form fields and use a large, white read-only button field to cover any static elements that you don't want the user to see.
