Adobe Acrobat Help

[ShannonO]

Does anyone out there use Adobe (not just the Reader)?

I have documents that I have created so that they have fillable fields. I want to be able to type information into those fields and then save the document as a .pdf but locked so the client cannot alter those fields. Right now I have to print it to a .pdf, but I know there has to be a way to save it as another format.

Thanks,
Shannon

Not 100% sure this is what you are looking for, but you might be able to muck around with the Document Properties under File > Properties > Document Settings.

This allows you to set a password for various levels and one can be for 'Edits'.

You can lock the fields as you see fit. Just right click the field and choose properties.

Another way would be to NOT make a fillable field in a certain area and then just use the typewriter mode for those fields.

The easiest way to lock up the entire document against changes would be to print it as a pdf just like you are doing it. That will also embed your signature if you're using a signature stamp for yourself.

Re: Adobe Help

you can secure it so people can only fill it in and print but can not save with altered fields

There are also programs that will crack the password. Free programs are more frequently written for a Linux version than Windows.

you could also check out programs like ezbuy. They provide a pretty advanced esignature software suite.
