I want to restrict editing of my Form PDF but still allow the "Button" to work

[hannahj6032496]

I have restricted mt document :

1. Printing Allowed: High Resolution
2. Changes Allowed: Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields.

However it will now allow the "RESET FORM"   'Action' button i created to not work without adding the password. This defeats the purpose, i have looked at all other settings and tried using Java Script instead of the Action button and still not working. I cannot seem to find a simple resolution.

What password?

Just the password i choose? i just want to restrict editing of the actual document but allow them to fill it out as i have set it up. however at the bottom i have an action button that is a "RESET FORM" button.  The security restrictions mean that the password pop-up comes up when i press RESET FORM.

Those security settings should not restrict the Reset A Form action.  If you want to use a script it is:

this.resetForm();

Thanks, however it is restricting it. I have also tried the Javascript and didnt work.

I think i fixed it. I was doing something silly. I would protect the document, then go to "edit" to test it where the password would pop up as expected. I would hit cancel then go and test the "reset Form" button, however i hadnt got our of the "edit" mode lol. once i exited from this it is working as expected for now.
