lock form fields for different users

[stefan29028587]

Hello,

I'm creating an document where User A (the company) needs to fill in form fields that User B (the customer) is not allowed to change.

I figured out that when User A signs the document with his signature, the linked form fields lock. This is actually a solution i needed, but it needs to be a signed signature and not a name and contact information i need to fill in for it to work. Also the customers, and possibly the company too,  don't have Adobe Acrobat. So i don't know if that will lock it in the right way.

A different idea was to lock specific form fields with a password. That would be the easiest way i think. But i can't seem to find that out.

How can i make sure User A can lock some fields that User B can't Access? I have almost no knowlegde of Javascript.

The usual method is to lock the fields concerned. If you need to do this with Acrobat Reader, you can use a bookmark or a button.

I found it!

For anyone with the same question in the future:

I created a button with a Javascript command:
this.getField("Name1").readonly = true;

this.getField("Name2").readonly = true;

this.getField("Name3").readonly = true;

When i press the button, it sets the chosen fields on read only.

After that i create a new rule that "on click" the button also disappears so the customer wont see it.

If you need a way to undo this, just create a new button and copy the same code, but change all the "true" to "false".
