Disable Controls

Looping is pretty simple and the least of your worries since unfortunately, disabling form controls isn't really a feature in Acrobat forms, LiveCycle or AcroForm. The closest native feature to a traditional disable is setting the controls to "ReadOnly", which doesn't provide much in the way of visual cues for the user.

Fortunately there is a way to do a good looking disable (i.e. graying out), and you'll find the code for it here:

Copy and paste the function definitions presented here into a document script and then all you need to do is write a simple loop.

This code isn't too bad and it will make the presentation of your form much nicer than simply setting the fields to ReadOnly.
