Hi, I'm creating a 2 page check list and need to lock it and edit over it in Acrobat Pro DC. Suggestions?
Check list will have a bunch of fields, like: Project Name___________ date _______________ ( ) approved Yes or No.
I do not want these fields editable. I will then fill in or highlight text in the document over and over for different projects.
What steps do I take to lock the main text and then edit it?

Hmmm... not entirely sure I understand the question, but let me give it a try:
If at any stage later you want to edit the PDF again:

I believe you are simply asking about how to make an interactive PDF form.
A PDF form has base text and form fields, that can be filled out using Acrobat or Reader.
Just google Acrobat forms for a plethora of information, or go to Tools> Prepare Form.
If you really want to make the base text hard to edit, you can convert it to an image, then add form fields on top, but I don't think that's what you really want or need.
