How to protect a form

[Leena_Jain123]

Hi All,

I wanted to know how can we protect a form's data from being extracted through Server.

The user downloads a form and fills it.Now i wanted to know how can i protect this downloaded form from being able to have information extracted though te server.

The form is rendered through the FormsES Render API.

You can flatten the PDF before rendering. This will prevent data extraction.

The major concern is the user cannot edit/fill the form thereafter.

Hi NIth,

Thanks.But our requirement is to have dynamic/interactive forms.Is there any other way to do so apart from flatenning?

An alternate idea is to protect data extraction through Usage Rights.

Read this article to see how to protect a PDF from exporting the data out of it.
