JavaScript Exception

[Guest]

Hi there,

I wish to know the extension of the Javasript to make an entire PDF read only Except one button. I currently have the coding that will make the whole document 'read only' however I Wish to have an exception for the 'submit' button.

Please let me know what the code extension to the below is:

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
    var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    this.getField(fname).readonly = true; // makes all fields readonly
     }

Try this:

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
    var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    if (fname !== "NameOfButtonToExclude") {
        this.getField(fname).readonly = true; // makes all fields readonly
    }
}

but replace "NameOfButtonToExclude" with the actual name of the button you want to exclude.

Hi.

You don't need an exception: just lock all fields, then unlock the button.

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
    var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    this.getField(fname).readonly = true; // makes all fields readonly
    }
this.getField(MYBUTTON).readonly = false;
