I've created a form which I want to distribute to a number of colleagues.

They will then complete the form and I will use Adobe to collate the responses.

I intend to save this on an internal server, however I need to password protect the response form as it will contain confidential information.

When I go to the 'Document Responses' form and click on Advanced/Security the option to 'Encrypt with Password' is greyed out.

Does anyone know of another way of password protecting the response form?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.3.1, Windows

The Acrobat Help Doc lists these requirements for sending a secure form.

Adobe wrote:
The form must be an Adobe XMA form, which is the format applied by LiveCycle Designer. If you edited the form in Acrobat, you must save it in LiveCycle Designer (available only for Windows) before you can use the send-secure feature.The form must contain a Submit button that is configured with an email return address, such as mailto: nobody [at] adobe [dot] com.The form originator must have a digital ID. See Creating or obtaining digital IDs.
