How to make a form usable but uneditable

Hi guys. I built a form in QuarkXPress, saved it as a PDF, then opened in Acrobat (v8.2.4) and added form check boxes and text boxes to it. I do not need to get information returned to me, this is simply for my customers to use for themselves. I'd like the form to be printable (even though if the text in the boxes is too long, I know it probably will get cut off). What I want to ensure is that no one can open this file in Acrobat and tamper with it.
Is it possible to make the file usable by clients but not editable or changeable so I can control the document information?
Thank you for your reply!
Catherine

It turns out I'm going to solve my problem a different way (have people print out the workbook and write in their answers), so I'll probably try to "secure" it as much as possible to protect the copyright, but won't need to have fields to fill in. I can use the answer I got for future reference, however. Thanks for the answer, and for the forum!

  • How to make a form for input in web interface builder

    Hi expert:
        How to make a form for input in web interface builder?I have already used it to do PS planning, but I don't know how to  draw lines and checkboxes . Thanks in advance.

    WAD:
    Open the WAD and create a new template. On the left hand navigation you will have several Web Items available. Under 'Standard' you have 'Analysis' item. Pull that into your template to the right. Under the Properties tab you need to pick the query [form/layout] that you have built in Query Designer.
    You will also find other items such as Button group, Checkbox, drop down, list box etc available. Pick and drag into the template whatever it is you require. Lets say you want a button. Under the Properties tab select the 'Command' that you require. You could use standard commands that are available there. You could also define functions and commands that you require.
    Query Designer:
    Open the QD and drag the characteristics and key figures that you require into the rows and columns of the QD. You would need to specify restrictions under the Filter tab of the QD based on the granularity of data that you require. You would need to remember that the key figures need to be made Input Ready [do this by clicking on KF and on the planning tab select "change by user and planning functions"].
    This shouldgive you a start. After you've explored it yourself a bit we can discuss further and I can certainly provide you additional details/material on these areas.

  • Hi can anyone tell me how to make the forms url short to the end user

    Hi,
    Im using oracle forms 11gR2 and everything is working fine, but my question in how to make the forms url short to the end user.
    For example my forms url is  " http://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet "  now i want to modify this url as   "myweb.gov.ae"
    can anybody suggest me the possibilities to change to default forms url to our own url as mentioned in the above example.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hari

    You would have to either -
    * edit the code pointed to by the new action attribute to
    include the form
    processing and email generation, or
    * edit the form processing script to also include the insert
    record and
    check user name scripting
    The former is probably the better procedure, since I suppose
    you'd want to
    do the check user name before sending the email.
    Unfortunately, this means
    you will have to get your hands into the code, or hire
    someone to do it for
    you.

  • How to make an checkbox editable and uneditable within a single alv output.

    Hi,
    How to make an checkbox editable and uneditable within a single alv output depending on condition.
    I have used Reuse_alv_grid_display.
    In my output every checkbox is editable. i have used edit = 'X'.
    I want editable checkbox for correct value and uneditable checkbox for incorrect value in a single alv

    Use alv styles to achieve this, set the style for each record before displaying the ALV. Structure LVC_S_STYL.
    Take a look at the example BCALV_EDIT_02, it is OOPS based, but check how the style table is filled.

  • How to make a form fillable

    how can I make a form fillable?

    A script can be used to reset the form when it is opened (or closed), but this might not be sufficient for your purposes. You can also set the file itself as read-only, preventing the user from saving it in the first place.
    May I ask what's the point of adding form fields to this file? Is it just so that it could be printed?

    That's a pretty basic form built using an older version of Acrobat (not sure what you are using. This is the Reader forum by the way).

  • How to make a form

    I've made an sql file and i can connect to it in Oracle Forms 6i. I can see the tables and columns in the Object Navigator, and now i would like to make a form. As you can tell, im new to Oracle Forms, so how do i go about it?
    Thanks.

    New problem:
    I notice that the canvas i am working on has a toolbar at the top with many buttons like insert, exit... However, i do not want these shown when the form runs because i dont want the user to have all of those privelages, so i would like to remove this toolbar and replace it with buttons of my own. So:
    1) is there a way to remove this toolbar?
    2) I cant see a command button property that does the equivalent of Action -> Save. Does this mean i need to make a trigger to save changes?

  • How to make a form using a wizard when the table has no primary key ?

    Hi,
    I want to make a form to update, delete a table. The table has no primary key. The problem is that the Wizard ask for a primary key.
    How to avoid using a primary key ? i mean I don't want to create a primary key if is is possible.
    I would like to use the wizard; is it possible ?
    Thank you for your kind answers.
    Christian

    I believe the key is choosing 'Interactive' as opposed to 'Classic' in the implementation and then you can choose 'Existing Trigger' for the primary key source and it should work to use an existing column as your proimary key.

  • How to make adobe form as Interactive

    Hi,
      I am trying to make adobe form in input-output mode ie. Interactive. For that I am passing parameter   fp_docparams-fillable = 'X' to function module which generates Adobe form (In driver pgm)  But its giving error as <u>"<i>Error in Adobe Document Services: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation.#Request start time: Tue Jul 17 16:37:37 GMT+05:30 200"</i></u>
    Do we need to any ADS setting? or is there any other way to make form?interactive?
    Regards,
    Seema

    hi Seema,
    you need to install the ADS first of all...
    the interactive form is not a much complicated thing at all....
    like you create all the UI in the Dynpro Layout...
    you create the UI elements in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
    they are bound to the Context the same way as your Dynpro ui elements are.
    whatever you put in the Context will affect the contents of the ui element.
    and whatever you put/type in the ui element will be reflected in the context.

  • How to make a rollover image, but not for a button

    Hello,
    I should probably not care so much about this, but I'm
    wondering how to make an image have a rollover state without making
    it a clickable button. See the link below, and when it all loads,
    move your mouse over the "go home" button at the bottom. I'd like
    for that rollover to happen but without the little "link hand"
    showing up, you know? I know how to do this in html but I'm new to
    flash so I'd love it if somebody here could help me out. Thanks!

  • How to make a form dynamic so that it displays different logos at runtime

    I am working on some assignment wherein I would like to make a form dynamic so that in it's designated image holder it displays different logos/pictures at run time? First of all is there such a possibility?? I am still very new to this forum and also trying to understand the logic/bindings/heirarchy etc. in LCD. Any input would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    LC 7 or 8 does not help load logs at runtime. However you can associate all your logs at design time and control their visibility property based on the events. This may help fulfill the requirements you have to an extent however adding number of images at design time will increase the size of the template.

  • How to make my form be compatible with older adobe versions

    Hello,
    I created a dynamic form with adobe lifecycle 9. As users try to use the form, they get this error:
    "This PDF form requires a more recent version of Adobe® Reader® or Adobe Acrobat® software. While this form may appear to be working, some elements may not function correctly or may not appear at all."
    Is there a way to make the form be compatible with older adobe versions?
    Thanks.

    In the File Menu -> Form Properties under Default Tab, choose the Target Version of Adobe Reader that you expect users to have the minimum version.
    If any of the functionality does not compatible with the selected version, then the warnings will be displayed under report tab. You can access it by going to Window menu -> Report.
    Thanks
