Fillable Forms and Distribution : Flatten Author's text but not Form Fields

Question

Ok folks, first time posting on this forum though definitely not my first time searching for answers!  I've been pretty successful with other questions though I think I've stumped myself on this one.
I've created a "generic" Fillable Form that I will be using to distribute to various contacts for certain upcoming projects that we will be participating in.  Because each project will be different, instead of having to create a new form each time, I am hoping that with my base model form I can input various information with the type writer tool and somehow protect this information from being edited/deleted while still allowing my contacts to input their information within the form fields.
I've tried applying different variations of the security features, but the drawback of doing this is that it will not allow me to "distribute" my form so that it can be track with Adobe Tracker.  The only way I can succefully distribute this form to the masses and track responses is if all security settings for the document are turned off. 
I hope this all makes sense how I'm explaining it.  Because the information (not the form fields) on the document being sent out is changing every week, I was hoping there would be an easier way other than creating an entirely new Fillable Form for each.  I'm not an expert with Actions but would it be possible to create an Action that would "Flatten" the type writer text only?  That would at least prevent others from manipulating or deleting the information I have placed on the document.

This free JavaScript-based tool for Acrobat is what you need: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
The Typewriter tool creates a type of text box, so you'd select just that check box to flatten them.
