Form Locking by section

I need to create a form that will have 3 sections. Each section needs to be filled out by a different person and once filled out he/she will digitally sign the form. So far so good.
 
The catch is that the PTB (Powers That Be) want each section locked once it has been filled out and signed.
 
I do not know scripting, so that's not a solution. Are there any other approaches potentially available to me?

When you set up a digital signature field, go to the "Signed" tab of the Digital Signature Properties dialog and select the "Mark as read-only" option and then select which fields you want to lock from the list. Do the same for the other signature fields.

Fantastic. I've been doing forms for years and never noticed this.

Big big thanks.
