Save function in iOS

[Kelvinleezeal74]

After filling up fillable form and signed, can't find the save function like the desktop version. When I email the form, it is still in editable format. Is the safe button exist within the iOS apps or is there an alternative to do this?

Please help. Thank you.

I tried emailing back to myself, save to Notes (and email), etc... Is still editable. Screen shot is the easiest way but it defeats the purpose.

The document will save when you open a other document.

Thank you Bernd_Alheit, I tried to open in many other apps but it remains editable... unless I sign and safe in my PC. Again this defeats the purpose of mobility. I am just wondering why I invested in ipad pro, should have gone with my regular laptop. 

OR

Did I miss out a few steps in saving the pdf form with other program?

Does you use Fill & Sign ?

[Kelvinleezeal74]

Yes I did... unfortunately, this does not "lock" the fillable pdf form.

Having said that, i found a way to "lock" it. I use the print function; when the print dialog pops-out, zoom out the print preview where you will find another box with arrow pointing up where you can save in any folder you want. 

Magic, it become "normal" PDF.

The desktop Save button does not change a file so it cannot be filled. What is the problem with it still being fillable?

[Kelvinleezeal74]

After I share to my PC via (WhatsApp, email, Adobe cloud, etc.. I tried almost everything I can think of) it is still in editable "form" format. It is after I signed and saved, it turns into "normal" pdf.

It is not filling or saving which "locks" a PDF. It is a digital signature.
