Form field lock/unlock with password

[jahantech]

I am using below code in bookmark to lock group of fields in my acroform. I found this code in https://forums.adobe.com/message/8679934#8679934 made by  George_Johnson. I used two bookmark for two user (User A & User B). What is happening, when User A locks the fields User B can unlock field by entering his/her password.

Is there any way so that if fields are locked by User A's password it will be unlocked only by User A's password. Same thing for User B's also.

Bookmark for User A:

(function () {

     var f_prefix = "prod.";

    // Your chosen password goes here

    var pw = "rok123";

    // Get a reference to the first field in the group

    var f = getField(f_prefix).getArray()[0];

    //Determine new readonly state, which is the opposite of the current state

    var readonly = !f.readonly;

    var readonly_desc = readonly ? "lock" : "unlock";

    //Prompt user for the password only if unlocking

   if (f.readonly) {

    var resp = app.response({

        cQuestion: "To " + readonly_desc + " the fields, enter the password:",

        cTitle: "Enter password",

        bPassword: true,

        cLabel: "Password"

    });

   } else {

       var resp = pw;

   }

    switch (resp) {

    case pw:

        getField(f_prefix).readonly = readonly;

        app.alert("The fields are now " + readonly_desc + "ed.", 3);

        break;

    case null:  // User pressed Cancel button

        break;

    default:  // Incorrect password

        app.alert("Incorrect password.", 1);

        break;

    }

})();

Bookmark for User B:

(function () {

    var f_prefix = "prod.";

    // Your chosen password goes here

    var pw = "sam789";

    // Get a reference to the first field in the group

    var f = getField(f_prefix).getArray()[0];

    //Determine new readonly state, which is the opposite of the current state

    var readonly = !f.readonly;

    var readonly_desc = readonly ? "lock" : "unlock";

    //Prompt user for the password only if unlocking

   if (f.readonly) {

    var resp = app.response({

        cQuestion: "To " + readonly_desc + " the fields, enter the password:",

        cTitle: "Enter password",

        bPassword: true,

        cLabel: "Password"

    });

   } else {

       var resp = pw;

   }

    switch (resp) {

    case pw:

        getField(f_prefix).readonly = readonly;

        app.alert("The fields are now " + readonly_desc + "ed.", 3);

        break;

    case null:  // User pressed Cancel button

        break;

    default:  // Incorrect password

        app.alert("Incorrect password.", 1);

        break;

    }

})();

Any help please.

What are the names of the fields for each user?

[jahantech]

Field names are prod.product, prod.name, prod.details, prod.invest, prod.fhsdt, prod.id, prod.witname, prod.remidial.

Either user A or B can fill this fields from production department and send this to QA department. For QA dept. I am thinking of using button.

Thanks

So you want to disable user B from unlocking the fields if user A locked them (and vice versa), basically?

[jahantech]

Yes you are right.

[try67 · Accepted solution]

You would need to save the information somewhere, then, for example in a (hidden) text field.

Set its value to "A" if user A locks the file, and then reset it when they unlock it, and the same with B.

Then you add a condition to both scripts checking that field's value before allowing them to unlock the fields.

It would be great help if u give an example so that I can move forward.

Thanks

Hi

I have prepared my form in LCD, since I could not put the condition in acroform. In Xfa form, I used your logic and it worked absolutely!

You are a genius!

Thanks
