I am using the Free Version of the Adobe Reader.

I have a fillable PDF document. 

After i fill it out i want to signature it and save it read only.

 

On the computer thats workling without a problem.

 

But i need the same function on an Android Tablet.

After signature i get the message, that the document ist readonly after saving it.

 

But i cant find an option to save it.

After the signature it is still possible to chance the fillings of the documents. 

 

I can save a copy it in the cloud and on the tablet, but at all time the document ist not  readonly.

On the Android tablet, if you sign the document and close it. Does that save the file, so when you open it again it is read-only.

Also, can you describe the signature process on the tablet. Is it a field you tap in, or use Adobe Sign process....

I use the symbol in the lower right corner (blue circle with white pen).

Then I go to "fill in and sign".

Next, the pen symbol appears at the top of the document.

Now i can sign the Document with my initials.

The initials are in blue color.
After I place them on the document, they turn black.
However, it is still possible to edit the document.

Cant find a way to close or save it.

There is a blue tick in the upper left corner, but this does not save either

On mobile, when you use Fill & Sign feature to add your initials or signature, then click on the checkmark in the upper left corner when it saves the document automatically.

There's no other manual option to save the file on mobile. 

 

Thanks,
