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
1. If you have an existing digital signature fields, place them in edit mode by selecting Tools > Forms > Digital Signature Tool and then double click on them OR right click and choose Properties.
2. Display the Signed tab.
3. Choose Mark as read only.
When a field with field locking specified is signed, both a normal document signature and an object hash of the locked fields are produced and included in the document.
4. Use the drop-down list to select from the following:
-All fields: All signature fields will be read only after signing.
-All fields except these: All signature fields except those specified will be read only after signing. Choose Pick and select the field to exclude.
-Just these fields: Only the specified signature fields will be read only after signing. Choose Pick and select the field to include.
5. Choose Close.
