Making Saved Copies Non-Editable

I have developed a form that we need to send to customers for them to fill out and send to us to order services. The problem we have been having is that the customer tends to "recycle" saved copies and just change the fields they think are important. Often they end up missing a lot of important stuff and they end up sending us the wrong information. What I would like to do is force the user to save a copy of the original (which is the easy part), but I would also like that saved copy to no longer be editable, forcing the user to open the original copy and start again from scratch for each order. Is what I am asking possible?

It is hard to protect people from themselves. You have many options.
1) Have them electronically sign the document, this could make it more difficulty for them to change the content.
2) Create a form with a send button. The pdf file could then submit their order data to a server or via email to your company. You could save the order data on their computer incase there is an issue, but have the send button script clear the form data when finished. You, of course, would need to send them finished form back to them with an acknowledgement. Of course, what you send back to them would not be editable.
3) You could probably create a button script locking all of the fields. See Acrobat Scripting forum.

  • Making screen fields non-editable in standard SAP screen

    Hi All,
    I have a reuirement. In transaction code CAA2 I have to make the field 'Incoming payment method' (EZAWE) as read only/non-editable. This field is available in table FKKVKP. We can make this field as read only by performing some configuration setting. But this field needs to be disabled based on some validations.
    For example EZAWE field should appear in changable mode when user has the role 'ZDJ: SUPER_USER' assigned to him. If the user does not hold this role the EZAWE fields needs to be disabled.
    One more thing here I don't have to use screen variants for this.
    Thanks,
    Venkat

  • Making pdf form non-editable after submission

    I created a form for users to fill in and submit by a "Submit by Email" button. The form is being send back as a pdf form in an attachment in an email. After we receive it back and have reviewed it and possibly making changes, we need to save it so the form fields are not able to be changed. How can this simply be done?
    Thanks,
    Chad

    FWIW, if your form does not have to be dynamic (grow, shrink, add fields on the fly), it is often better to create it in Acrobat. It's generally easier to create, easier to program, and will have much fewer backwards compatibility issues. There are a lot of things, such as flattenPages, that are available with Acrobat forms that are not available with XFA forms.

    If you want to enter/display field 'Net price' immediately after enterin
    transaction for specific users, you can define function authorizations
    for buyers (customizing transaction OMET) and set for specific function
    authorizations key value in field 'Field sel.' to value display:
    a) Ta: SPRO:
    MM-> Purchasing -> Purchase Order ->
    Define Screen Layout At Document level
    Let say choose: '$DE1' as Field selection key
    Field Selection Group:Choose Quantity and Price
    Field Label: Set 'Price and price unit' to display
    b) Ta: OMET
    Unchecked the 'Indicator: Enter/change conditions' check box and fill
    in the Field selection key as set previously($DE1).
    c) Ta: SU3
    Then for user in User Profile create parameter EFB with value equal to
    function authorizations key defined in OMET.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi experts,
    For the component 'ICCMP_EMP_SRCH' there is a view 'BUPAEMPSEARCH' , which has 2 context nodes 'CUSTOMER' AND 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , i need to add the field 'NICKNAME' which is part of the 'CUSTOMER' context node on the search screen. Currrently all the fields on the screen screen are from the 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' context node. when i did the configuration , the 'NICKNAME' field is greyed out . I have already generated the Getter ,Setter , GET_I, GET_M methods for the 'NICKNAME' field and the context node and controller class and context class are all active .
    on debugging the GET_I method, i see that rv_disabled = 'TRUE' and the current = collection_wrapper->get_current( ) is returning empty value .
    for this rv_disabled to be set false , the code below is not triggered since there is no value in current.
    IF current->is_property_readonly(
    'NICKNAME' ) = abap_false. "#EC NOTEXT
    rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
    ENDIF.
    when i check for other search fields of context node 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , all the fields are set to rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
    can anyone suggest how to approch this. iam i missing any binding between context nodes or any activations ?
    The field properties are set as Input field and the display checkbox is not checked.

  • Making an editable PDF Form non-editable (a shortcut)

    How to make a PDF form non-editable or locked.
    For those who aren't script-savvy, I believe this may be a little shortcut to editing a PDF form and then saving and sending it as a non-editable or locked PDF.
    This is what I have written out for my client, whom I provided an editable PDF Form, so they could edit the PDF and then send it out to their own respective clients as a NON-editable PDF.
    Instructions as follows:
    How to save your PDF Form into a separate non-editable PDF to send to your client: (Using Adobe Acrobat Professional)
    Step 1. Fill out the original PDF Form
    Step 2. Once finished, go to “File” menu and click “Save a Copy” - title the file appropriately and save it to the desktop.
    Step 3. Close the editable PDF document and do not save it (Saving it will save over the original file). Now open up the PDF you’ve just saved to
                        the desktop (you’ll now take the steps to make this file only non-editable).
    Step 4. In the top menu, go to “Advanced” then select in that drop down menu “Security” then “Show Security Properties” - a ‘Document Properties’ window will now appear.
    Step 5. From this new window, select the “Security” Menu.  Set your ‘Security Method’ to ‘Password Security’.
    Step 6. A new window will appear named ‘Password Security Settings’. In this menu, tick the box that says “Restrict Editing & Printing of the document”
                you’ll need to a) set a password for it,  and  b) In the ‘Printing Allowed’ drop down box, select ‘high resolution’   and if you want to, tick the
                box that says ‘allow the copying of text, images and other content’
    Step 7. Click OK and Save the document. Now it’s not editable unless you have the password.
    Note: If you happen to want to edit the PDF at a later date, you can open the file and in the ‘Security settings’ menu on the left hand side
    (the menu is represented as a little gold lock) click ‘Permission Details’ then ‘Change Settings’ to revert everything back to an editable document
    - repeat the above steps to make it a locked document again.   

    Thanks for your suggestions. You should also consider flattening a form if you want a non-editable copy; because the permissions password is not always respected by third-party PDF applications (for some people the form will remain editable, depending on what software they're using).
    Flattening a form can be done in several ways in Acrobat: you can run a script - this.flattenPages() - or print the PDF back to PDF (aka refrying), or use the Sanitize tool in Acrobat X. It also strips out hidden content associated with the form (button actions, field calculation scripts, etc.) so provides additional data protection. Sanitize is the heavy-duty option of the three; it will remove all hidden content, leaving only what you see on the page.
    One correction to your workflow - the Save a Copy menu item is not intended for creating a duplicate of a normal form, it's only available if the  form has been rights-extended and it serves to remove the extension certificate from the PDF (allowing full editing in Acrobat again). As your client is working in Acrobat they don't need a rights-extended version in the first place, and working with a normal form will make things simpler for them. In Acrobat X Pro you could create them a custom Action which automatically flattens the file and saves a duplicate, so they don't accidentally overwrite the original.

  • PO order confirmation maked field Non editable

    Dear All,
    We had just shifted to ECC 6.0. When we create the PO and after that enter the order acknowledegement in confirmation Tab the field like PR, Contract Numebr on line item gets grayed out meand non editable. WHile I had tested the same thing in 4.6C and found that in this version although we enter the Order Acknowledegement in COnfiramtion tab and save the PO the field like PR, Contact number at line item does not get garyed out means it is available for editing also.
    Please let me know is there is any settings in Configuration to be done. Or is this is STandard FUnctionality of ECC 6.0. Are there any notes or FAQ notes available on this which states this functionality.
    Please reply as earliest as possible.
