Question

Saving fillable PDFs as Non-fillable

I have Professional 8.0 and I'm somewhat knowledgable about making fillable forms. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to create a fillable form that, once saved, is no longer fillable. In other words, I want users to be able to access a fillable form online, enter their data and save the form with their data, but once the form is saved, I don't want the saved document to be fillable anymore (kind of like a read only). Is this possible with Professional 8.0? If not, does anyone know if it possible with another program? Thanks in advance.

    I've done this is LC by the following:

    1. create corresponding field to text field that is fillable

    2. put logic on calculate event for the new field that says something like:  if (textfieldA == Null) then 0 else 1 endif

    3. put logic on post save event for the fillable field like: if (corresponding textfieldA ==1) then textfieldA.access ="readOnly" endif

    What this will do is when the form is saved all fillable fields that are empty will remain fillable, all those filled will be inaccessible.

    For the answer to this question try the Acrobat forums, not the Acrobat Connect forms. This is for a webconf/elarining tool.
