Is there anyway to restict the Save As function so the end user can fill in the form and print it but not be able to Save As. This would apply to the completed form as well as a blank form.

LiveCycle Designer, Windows
Yes and No. If the end user is using Reader, and the form has not been Reader Enabled for Save, then they cannot save the filled in form. But they can save the unfilled in form to thier local hard drive. There's nothing you can do about this, it's equivalent to simply downloading the file, which they have to do anyway to view it.
If the user has Acrobat Standard or Pro, they can do practially anything they want with it. About the only thing you can do is to apply security to the PDF, which keeps just about everyone from being able to dig into the document's internals, but doen't stop them from saving it.
If you want to get a little creative you could add JS to the PreSave event to reset all the fields, so they can't save with filled in data, and then restore all the fields on PostSave. I haven't tried this so I don't know how well it would work.
