I have already set-up a fillable pdf form and here is what I am tring to do with it:
1. I want to complete some info on the form and then forward the form to another party and have them complete other sections of the form without them being able to edit my sections.
2. I want the other party to complete their necessary sections and then email the form back to me. I do not want them to be able to save the form, just simply print it if needed.
3. We use a web-based email system.

How can I accomplish this? Specifically, how can I complete my sections, have them complete their sections without them being able to edit my work. Have them email the form back to me with an embedded email address that is web-based.

Clueless in Maryland...thanks!

Hi, the only way i know to get round this problem is by the use of signatures, there could be away using livecycle and probably javascript but you can accomplish this by using signatures, when you create a blank signature field, you can assign some propertes to it, if you right click control click double click with arrow tool and click the far most right tab which is labeled signed tab, in there you have the option to lock down the fields that you wish and leave the rest untouched.

There might be another way, but unfortunately my brains tired tonite... :-)
Just 4t!, this option could work is you could set the fields to Read only, (do this by double clicking the form field and in the general tab) if the intended audience has Adobe Reader only this will work as they cant override this BUT if they do have acrobat pro, then they could go into the general tab and untick the read only box that you checked!! and modify it!

hope it helps tho :-)
