Eliminating Visible Fields on "Save As" Once form is filled out

Hello,
Has anyone figured out a way to create a form, that once the recipient has filled out can be "Saved As>NewFileName.pdf", and the newly created PDF does NOT show fields when it's opened?
For background, i'm trying to create a very basic electronic letterhead that coworkers can fill out as a form, and then "SaveAs" a new PDF to send out to clients. The rub is that once the existing form has been filled out, and resaved with a new filename, it always shows up in Reader with the form fields highlighted, and looks tacky. I'd basically like a way to "eliminate fields" upon "SaveAs"?
Thanks!

You can use JavaScript to set fields to read-only. This would have to be done some time before the document is saved obviously. I often use something like a bookmark that when clicked will trigger the code to do this and the document can then be saved. If your coworkers will be using Acrobat, they can flatten certain fields, again using a script. This process converts the field appearances to regular page contents and makes it a bit more difficult for recipients form altering it.

Can forms be filled out on phones?

Can forms be filled out on phones?

Yes, FormsCentral forms can be filled out on mobile devices. Just remember that if you distribute the PDF form then the fillers will need to use Adobe Reader Mobile to fill out the PDF and submit it.

Are parts of a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat Pro able to be secured so that once the recipient fills out a specific section, signs it, and submits it to the original sender, that information filled out is locked from editing for security purposes? If so,

I have an application I'm submitting to our school website for potential students to fill out. There are sections for the student(s) to fill out as well as sections for staff to fill out. For the sake of security for the student filling out the form, I'd like to set it up so that once the student has filled out the proper sections and submits the information, any information filled out and signed by the student is locked from editing on my part. I only need to read what the student filled out and signed, then add my notes to Staff sections. Is this possible? If so, how? I need details!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

Can someone help me email pdf form after filled out/saved toanother party without it showing up blank?

I own a windows RT and am desperately looking for an app that I can fill out PDF forms created by my job to then email to another party. It seems after I open a PDF form I have to then save it as a copy before I can even start working on it and then save it again once finished. Then when I email it to someone within my company it always arrive blank but when I get the bad news I'll go back to view the form and its filled out on my end. Can someone please help me with this situation?

I just have the most recent app available for the Microsoft surface RT so if it is the 11.0.07 then great but I'm still having troubles with the surface RT only. Any ideas?

However in his post he left off the last bracket }
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (f!=null && f.type!="button") f.readonly = true;

Hello, tried to redeem 3 gift cards. After trying the first realized that the cards are from family in Canada and not able to use on my account here in the USA, customer support sent me an email and said to fill out a form that I can not find here, any suggestions?

Hi Katie,
Your best bet would be to contact iTunes Support again. Also, make sure there wasn't an attachment to the email? But if there was not, contact them again and tell them you need to either have the form sent to you or you need to know where you can find it. Here's the link:

Is there an app I can use to download a blank form and fill out daily on my ipad

Is there an app available that I can download a blank form into and fill out daily on my iPad?

OK. Then you do need a word processing app. The WP apps in the App Store run the full gamut and you need to decide which on would work best for your needs.
If you want to simply try a WP app to get the feel of how they work, there is an app called FioWriter Lite which is free. It will have limited functionality, but at least it will give you an idea of what these apps are like to work with.
If that works for you, there is a paid version as well. FioWriter is probably one of the most basic and least expensive WP apps that I have seen. I have Pages and Smart Office and my preferred app is Pages because I have that on my Mac as well.

How do I create visible field labels in a pdf form that can be overwritten by text? I have tried add

I am creating a very straight forward fillable form and want to add a description of each field that can be visible to the user, but goes away when the person enters the appropriate data in the field. I have tried to suggested custom scripts. The script command were: if (!event.value) event.value = event.target.name; and
if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}. Both allow the lables to be visible but neither allow the user to either replace the label with the relevant information and if it does, then the replacing data does not print/remain viewable.
I am confident this is doable as I have seen forms that say something like "add your name here" and when you enter the data that field label is replaced with the information I enter.

Hi George,
I have tried this. What I get is a field label, and I can type into the field, but the label does not go away and the page prints blank. Should I try: if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.Print;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}, removing the .noPrint?
You have no idea how frustrating it is to try this and have such a simple function not work. Is there anothe script I can try?
