Signatures and eDITING

I created a form that users will fill out then email back to me.
I added a signature field that the user will digitally sign, then he/she will email the PDF back to me already filled in, but I do not want to have the ability to edit the fields they filled in.
Is there a way when creating the form to say, "upon digitally signing the document, the user's signature locks all the fields so that no one else may edit it afterwards."

Thanks

When you place a signature field, the signature properties window will pop up to confirm. Click the "Signature" tab and there is a choice of what happens when the field is signed. One of the choices is to make the fields read only upon signing.

I haven't tried this, but I think it's what you are asking for.
