i have a problem with the Document Protection

Community Beginner ,

Hi, once I have password protected my document or fillable form, nothing else can be edited; so far so good! BUT you can still edit and delete the added photos in the picture box. How can I secure the document so that people can only "look" at the photos and not change or delete them?

Thanks in advance

Which options do you mean? The image field options or the client options?

If by "picture box" you mean an image field, just set it as read-only.

Yes, i did that already, but thats way too much work for me. Because there a daily more then 12 documents with over 50 pictures from my employees which ill send to the client. You can hire a person for that work then :D.. isnt there a solution?

A script can be used to process all fields in a file with a single click, and this script can be used in an Action to process multiple files.

 

This code will set all the fields in the file as read-only:

 

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
	var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
	var f = this.getField(fname);
	if (f==null) continue;
	f.readonly = true;
}
