Hey there,

Even if this has been asked before, we'd be happy to answer again.

If you are the creator/owner of form and working with Acrobat DC, then you can make the changes in PDF form's properties and set its form fields as read only.

Open PDF forms in Acrobat DC>right click on form field>Properties>General>Read-only>Close

For detailed information, please refer to this help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-form-field-properties.html#general_tab_for_form_field_prop...

Thanks,

Use this line for each field to be locked:

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

You should place this script in a button action, not in a "Doc will save" event.

Check the values of hte fields. When the field is not empty set the property readonly.
