Are you saying that the certified signature disappears when the same PDF is opened with Adobe Acrobat ?

 

OR,

 

Is this what you observed when that PDF is previewed with a web browser or the Microsoft  Outlook webmail app?

It should be submitted, but not saved. How are you submitting the form data, exactly?

@try67 

I'm working with distribution files on acrobat pro. My task is when the customer sends questions to the company and get response. some ID and emails must stay hidden. I have worked with cisiblity option but the data info could be seen from the porfolio document details view (all fields in the document  could be seen) when i tried password it seems that the data under stays hidden in the detail view.

with the console i can get field value under the password but not when the form is submitted. the password field will be erased in the response file.

i have used the submit button field selection option, but when i select specified fields in the details view still keep aall the data info.

I see what you're saying, but what would be the point of password security if a user can count how many characters are in a password.

 

The way I would handle that is with a hidden field that becomes visible but doesn't print, and it becomes visible only when the users ckick in that password field; it will show a password hint (if that is what you are trying to do)

 

I think I have misunderstood the OP completely.

In that case, the built-in feature by itself is not enough.

 

Seems like you're going to need a script to handle the security aspects of your workflow.

 

Are you currently employing any Acrobat JavaScript?
