Creating a non-saveable form that can be printed

New Here ,
Aug 09, 2016 Aug 09, 2016

I would like to create a form in Adobe that can only be filled out and printed. 

We do not want the PDF to be saved, only filled out and printed.  Ideally, we would just remove the 'save' option. 

Ideally, the form will be created in Adobe but used by an Adobe reader program. 

I can't seem to get anything to work. Version 2015.017.20053

What all settings should I be looking at to make sure this can't be done.

It's not possible, at least not if the users have a relatively recent version of Reader.

What you can do, though, although I wouldn't recommend it, is use a script to reset the form fields in the file each time it is opened. It's not fool-proof, either, as someone can easily disable JS to get around it, but it will work in most cases.
