Hi Paul,

1st - If You can - send me the script. (wzawrockiATyahooDOTcom)

2nd request - I make a forms where end user has possibility to fill and print only - I want to give possibility for end users to save forms as non-fillable pdf (dont want to force them to print on paper and then scan).

I try to make this in file that You attach: Lock All Fields_Purchase Order.pdf but after I fill and lock - the document still can't be saved with changes.

I try my own way to print filled form on PDF Printer (PDFCreator 0.8.0) but result is: 1 blank page and on the second:

ERROR: undefined

OFFENDING COMMAND: get

STACK:

/quit

-dictionary-

-mark

Can You confirm is this script will work due to me needs? Or You have any other ideas how to do it to be easy to end user?

Regards,

Witek Z

I am not the individual you need to ask. When I created my form in Designer

8, it allowed me the option for 500 users to be able to save the completed

form and also print it. Paul can confirm this if I am correct. He was the

one in the forms that gave me the information, otherwise I am under the

impression you have to purchase a separate license for it.

     Sorry, that's all I can tell you,

I'm not familiar with scripting.... is it possible to create a very simple pdf and send me a sample of locking some fields, but not others?

That would be very useful in applying the concept to another form. It's clearly a hurdle I need to master.... Thanks.

Actually, I have incorporate some scripting into my form, for example, creating popup messages with user instructions, automating some of the functions in text fields, setting up calculations, etc., so i'd like to give the locking forms scripting a try. Thanks!

This could be an interesting challenge - creating a form that can be completed in three logical steps, with each of the steps involving locking the fields filled in for that session! I'll tackle this, with your thanks.

Paul, Thanks for the script.  I have a regular button that submits to email, but I want all fields to be locked after it is received via email.  I tried your lock all fields button, but it only locked one of the fields.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi Paul,

You are quite popular here!  I too am trying to create a pdf that I can fill in a small set of fields, lock those fields, and then distribute the form to employees with the rest of the fields remaining fillable, which they will then return the form to me.  I know this is possible, but I know absolutely nothing about scripting.  I downloaded your sample, but was wondering if you had a sample with a script that only locks certain fields.  If so, could you post thator email it to me?

Does this scenario also fall under the Extending license post earlier, where if they have Reader they will not be able to save and re-submit to me (most likely via email attachment).  Is there a way that I could possibly include an email submit button, where they data is submitted to me, the form can't be saved, but I can use the form tracker in acrobat to organize the data myself?

thanks so much for your help!

Paul,

I'm new at XML coding. I tried plugging in the code you posted above, but after the form is emailed and recieved it is still able to be edited. i'm not exactly where the code should be put in my program.

Thank you for the help.

Hi Paul,

Can you send me the script too? my email is ldhoyosr@shaw.ca

Thanks

     I am intrested in the Script that you have written, JL_rhernandez@live.com.

Thank you very much.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for this fine piece of work!

I do have an issue, I have some very nice forms built and I have looked over your form.  I don't know where to place the code though...I see you have a variable but I can't copy from your and paste it to mine.  I can copy the lines of code from the script editor but I'm pretty much lost after this.  I'm also in need of being able to lock the form then use my "save as" button and "print" button functionality.  These both need to remain unlocked.  I am willing to pay someone to assist me here providing this can be done.  I was thinking it might be easier to "print" to the MS XPS driver to flatten the form but I don't know how to add a button to do this.  I am unable to post my forms here due to confidentiality.

Your help and expertise is greatly appreciated Paul.

Thanks.

Thank you this is exactly what I need. I downloaded the form and opened it up in acrobat pro but not sure how to get to the script in it. What am i doing wrong?
