Stop users saving completed PDFs from their browsers.

Hi,

We are rendering PDF eforms in a browser using LiveCycle and submitting user-entered data back to the server. We have set the Reader Extensions 'Basic form fill-in' option in the LiveCycle WorkBench orchestration so they can fill in the fields but have discovered that if they Ctrl-S they can save a copy locally which includes their filled in data.  We do not want them to be able to do this.

How can we allow users to fill in forms in their browser and submit but not save locally?

Thanks,

Kieran

Don't reader extend it, you can still submit the data but can't save locally

But there are some things we need to reader extend such as:

  • Import and export form data
  • Submit outside web browser
  • Database and web service connectivity

But are you saying that if we don't enable:

  • Basic form fill-in

which the documentation describes as:

Then they will still be able to fill in the form fields but not save the form?  If so this is not very clear from the description.  Why not have 'Fill in form fields' and 'Save files locally' as seperate reader extension options?

Thanks.
