• Make all the text fields to read only after signing form

  Hello

  I have a form of direct cycle that must have all the defined text fields as read only after the signing.

  The java script has been placed in the sign post to a digital signature field event.

  for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++) {}

  NJC var = this.getNthFieldName (i);

  If (cNm.type = "text") this.getField (NJC) .readonly = true;

  }

  After signing the following the error in console form appears:

  this.getNthFieldName is not a function

  Can someone advise please how to change the script so that when the form is signed all text fields become ready only?

  Any help will be most appreciated.

  Thank you.

  You don't need any JavaScript to do this.

  In the designer, you can configure the field signature in this way, that all fields will be locked after the signing.

• How to make text read-only once it is recorded and distributed on the ground?

  How to make a read-only text field after it is registered adistributed d?

  LiveCycle Designer ARE 8.2

  Exit this JavaScript code on the event:

  textField1.access = "readOnly";

  This works after the user loses the focus on the field, but after it is saved and distributed, this field is no longer "read only".

  I need to have staff insert information into a text field and try it then distribute to clients, and these fields must be protected.

  How do you do that?

  No... .it has to be there to be a schema valid... but it is not used by the product offline.

• Vista guard setting external hard drive read-only...

  SP1 Vista Ultimate x 64

  My external hard drive (WD Elements 500 GB) guard get the value read-only. I can go in, select all the files, right click > properties and uncheck the 'read only' box, click OK. When I open the drive once again, they are read only once more.

  I tried to go to the security settings for the player and adjusting so that everyone has the right to change the files and so on, to which I have an error message (on each file) saying that it cannot apply security information that the data are protected against writing.

  The drive is formatted in NTFS and says he's got the A attribute.

  What should I do?

  In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

  Alternatively, you may have a problem of 'ownership' with the reader.

  To set, view, change, or remove permissions on files and folders

  1. Right-click the file or folder for which you want to set permissions, click Propertiesand then click the Security tab.
  2. Click Edit to open the permissions for dialog box.
  3. Do one of the following:

  ·         To set permissions for a group or user that does not appear in the group or user names box, click Add. Type the name of the group or user you want to set permissions for, and then click OK.

  ·         To change or remove permissions for a user or an existing group, click the name of the user or group.

  1. Do one of the following:

  ·         To grant or deny a permission, in the permissions for , select the allow or deny check box.

  ·         To remove the group or user in the group or user names box, click Remove.

• Once read / open once the PDF files?

  Fellow Forum members,

  Is it possible to fake a PDF file so that it only opens once so that it can read only once? And then after that it becomes locked.

  Can be done using a plugin?  Or an online service?  Or by any means, I'm not becuause I don't know?   Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  The answer today is exactly the same as two years ago.

  The format PDF itself and Acrobat provide no native ability / of reading once / open only once . There is just no such capacity not specified in ISO 32000-2 PDF 2.0 to specification, either for something like that.

  The request is for very specific functions of DRM (document rights management). PDF allows third-party DRM functionality. Adobe has provided such a feature with its LiveCycle server products. There are of other, third-party DRM products that can work with Acrobat/Reader as well. they are not free or even necessarily inexpensive.

• After filling out the forms to save read-only

  Hello.

  The designer I work with has created a PDF for me with editable fields.   I would edit correct modifiable with customer information fields, and then save the file read-only - or protected so that they cannot modify the fields.  Is this possible?

  Hi sheriomernik,

  Yes, you can implement some restriction of editing a file PDF using Acrobat application use security permissions to protect PDF files in Adobe Acrobat | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials.

  Or you can simply ask the PDF Creator to add a signature field, once you fill & sign the PDF form it locks the PDF fields.

• How can CD users save files as read-only PDF editable PDF after completing their?

  Hello

  We have users who use CD player and none of them are able to save regular editable PDF files, PDF files read-only. The only options that appear for the option Save as others are "text' and 'word or excel." In older versions, there is a PDF option here that allow them to record read-only. When you go to save as and recording it in pdf format, it is always editable. There is no other option to save it as Save a Copy as I've seen in other articles. Can you please tell me how this can be done? Thank you.

  Hi aprice.impact,

  Sign the PDF file use the certificate in Acrobat Reader ms (you'll find it under the Tools tab), to create a digital signature & sign the PDF.

  It will secure your PDF & restrict any changes.

  Kind regards

• Cannot save the document - read-only or opened by another user error occurs when the PDF is opened in Windows Explorer

  Adobe Pro XI - use the operating system to Windows 7 Pro

  When a PDF document is open in Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, ratings, all types of changes, he cannot be saved until the Windows Explorer is completely closed.  If you try to save the document, you receive the error message next - "the document could not be saved.  The file may be read-only, or another user may have his opening.  Please save the document under a different name or in a different folder. «I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and this is not open many times.»  Once completely, you close Windows Explorer and try to save the document, it saves without problem.

  Are there settings in Adobe Pro XI or Windows that allows you to save documents without closing Windows Explorer first?

  Thanks for any help you can provide.  This error is a frustration because I open all my documents via Windows Explorer.

• Help!  End users with Reader only impossible to save the document that they fill out forms...?

  Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

  I have the full version of Acrobat 9 Standard, but I also have the trial version of Acrobat X Pro, in the hope that she would do what I need it to do.

  In my business, I have a 30 page document in PDF with form in all fields.  I send this form to my clients, and they fill it in, sign it and send it back.  I wish they were able to save the document so that they do not have to fill out the 30 pages together in one sitting, they can work on the forms for a bit, then reopen later.  So far, many of my clients have complained that they are unable to save the document at all.

  In addition, even if I'm here, I would also mention that I would like for these customers to put digital signatures on these documents rather than having to print, sign and scan or fax for me to hide.  I have white signature on the PDF in question, but I want to be sure that my customers end users having ONLY the reader can this sign digitally.

  Help?  Suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

• Save a reader extended PDF form read-only

  Prior to this announcement, I searched for hours in forums and the internet on how to get there, but I can't find the solution.

  I created a simple form in Acrobat and saved with player so he can be saved by my colleagues in Adobe Reader, once informed extended attributes. The problem is now they need to send these customers but in an unbearable state. I don't know if this is possible, but I'm hoping for a simple solution if someone could help me, thanks.

  Create a button somewhere on the form and add the following code to the mouse event to the top:

  // Set these fields to read-only
  getField("Text1").readonly = true;
  getField("Text2").readonly = true;
  getField("Check Box1").readonly = true;
  // continue for any other fields
  
  // Hide this button
  event.target.display = display.hidden;
  

  Use only the actual field names that you use in your form. Users should be sure to save as a new file, and I would say that they put the blank form read-only via the file system so that they don't accidentally overwrite it.
