i currently have a fillable form that requires 2 signatures..........once those signatures are applied, i need to "lock" the form so that no additional edits in the text boxes can be made.........so pretty much i need to turn the fillable pdf into a non-fillable pdf once the signatures are applied...........however, once the signatures are applied i cannot change the security settings..........any suggestions?

Yes!

When you draw the signature fields. If they are already there double click them and in the signed tab, choose mark as read only and choose all fields. This will lock it down.

The only problem you might occur is which signature field to applied that method to. The way around it tho maybe is instead of choosing all fields, choose just these fields or all field except and then choose the other signature field and pick and choose the fields you want to lock down

Hope this helps?
