Marking Fields as Read-Only After Digitally Signing Issues

I am creating a PDF form that contains several digital signatures. I am selecting a signatures and am in the property options for that specific signature looking at the "Signed" tab. I select, Mark as read only, than choose "Just these Fields.
When I select "pick" a new box opens that lists all the fields in my form with a check box next to each. It appears that I can select the fields I want to mark as read only, however, when I attempt to check a box, nothing. I can select "select all" and all the firlds become checked, but I cannot check individual fields.
Any thought on what might be going on?

Hi Thomas,
Any chance you could share the PDF file if I gave you an e-mail address?

Set fields to read-only after addInstance()

I have this function on my form "add row" which allows user to create a new row to fill in additional fields; when user click submit, the fields of the form will become read-only.
however after i add another new row into the form, when i click submit that row does not change into read-only.
this is the code for my add row: Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance();
and this is the code for my submit button, whereby upon clicking the field becomes read-only

Hello,
Perhaps you could create a trigger for that table that prevents update, delete and even insert of rows before a specified timestamp.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER <Triggername>
BEFORE INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON <Table>
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF <RowDate> < <sysdate - <days>> THEN
Raise_application_error(-20001, 'ROW is in read only range.'
END;

Read-Only after signed.

Hello,
I am trying to make some forms that can be filled out, digitally signed and made read-only when the content is sent back to us. I have been through most of these forums and looked at a lot of samples and can't find how to do something in Live Cycle Designer that was easily done in Acrobat Pro. I have the forms done, but one problem. I want to make the local form read only once digitally signed, and/or the data submitted via e-mail.
In Acrobat, you simply go to the Digital Signatures - Properties - Signed Tab and select the box for Mark as read-only.
In live Cycle Designer though, it has me delving into java scripts (which I know a little bit about but not a programmer) and such but none of that is clear on the subject. So, I was looking to these forums to see if someone could help this old jar head out.
Thanks

Good Morning,
Derek S Jones, which Adobe Designer Version are you talking about?
I'm trying Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, and I can't find any "Document Signature tab" on the Signature's field Object palette!
Have I to configurate any toolbar?
Thanks a lot.

Changing a Record to Read-Only after an event.

I have a Developer application that needs to be modified. This
application includes several fields as well as a comments
field. I'd like to change all updatable fields (not to included
the comments field) to READ-ONLY after a certain event. Then
after a certain date, I'd like to make the comments field READ-
ONLY.
Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Regina,
Have you tried to set_block_property in pre-record trigger to update allowed/not allowed depending on the event. And in post-record update not allowed. These triggers must be on block level. Also on item level to the item 'Comment' define pre-item trigger where take a new decision whether you want to open the entire block or not, the same way as on block level triggers. But in post-item trigger always make the entire block read-only again.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Is it possible to circumvent read-only after a pdf has been signed?

Hi, my pdf has a signature field. In the signed event I have make all fields read-only. Is it possible for someone to come along and make them not read-only anymore? It seems the easiest way to make my document tamper-proof. Thank you.

goodprogramming wrote:
It's not the file that is set to read-only at the OS level. The signature field has an event for signed. Once that occurs I have the checkbox selected that says mark all fields as read-only. I want to be sure it is really read-only and that there is no way to make it non-read-only.
save as does not change the read onlyness of the pdf. I have tried this.
It shouldn't matter.
Making changes to the file after the signature is added will invalidate the signature. You'll know someone has been messing around if the sig is invalidated.
Even if you have a reason to do what you want, you can't. At least not without a very expensive Digital Rights Management solution plus a server to run it.

Make a field required on record creation, read only after that

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to make a pick-list field required on record creation, but read-only after that? The other twist to this is that we need to allow this field to also be read-write for all the integration edits, since this field's value could change in the enterprise database.
Thanks,
Neal G.

Hi !
I think you can add a validation rule for that. Something like :
IIf(PRE('<YOURFIELD>') IS NULL, <> '', = PRE('<YOURFIELD>'))
This means that if the previous value of your field is null (it's a creation), so the value must be different than blank. Else, it must be equal to the previous value, so not modified.
I didn't tested it, but I let you get back to me if it works... or not !
You'll just have to add a message saying that this field is required on creation and readonly after...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

How to make fields read only after form is filled in

I am creating forms to be used within our company. The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial. There are a few issues I can't solve.
1) I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".

Change status automaticaly after digital sign

Hi
I need to change document status automatically after digital sign,
Can any body help me how to do this?
The only way I can think of is by routine at the status customization.
Thanks

hi,
1. last tread i absorbed it says authorization object and custamization of Digital signature.
A. I need to change document status automatically after digital sign?
procedure like this.
1. Use TC - DC10--define document type,
.or u can navigate by SPRO> Crass application functions>document management>control data> difine document type.
2.Here u select your document type, to whicch u need Automatic Status Networking.
3.Select define document statuse folder in the same screen. u develop ur document network.
note: when u develope statuse net work, it will always triggers next status. for this next statuse would be change or approve like.
4.Here u will find assigne digital sign field. here acually u enter your digital signaure[name] which u created erliear.
5.save entries.
6.Automatic triggering means u have to set work flow. once a person enters the signature for appropriat status, the doc would triggers next person[inbox], whos is approver or releaser.......like this u have to develop stause with signature mandatory to set workflow for automatic triggering, Both options is available in same screen.

Profile preferences reset to "Read Only" after turning it off.

I cannot start Firefox. It says it is already running. Task Manager does not show any instances running. There is no "parent.lock" file in the "......default" folder. Each time I look at the preferences for the "profile" folder, it shows "read only" is set. I clear it and the next time I look at the preferences "read only" is set.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox but it still resets"read only". Looks like the profile folder has something corrupt in it.

Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only. 
Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a green block to indicate that it is not sure. 
You always need to look at the files individually. 
Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How to change report region fields in read only mode?

How to change report region fields in read only mode?
skud.

add the following javascript fuction to page header(or Javascript function and variables section)
function disableItems(pRegionStaticId,pDisableFlag) {
$('#'+pRegionStaticId).find('[name^=f]').each( function(){ /* matches fxx */
if( $(this).attr('name').match(/f[0-9][0-9]/) ){
return $(this);
}).attr('disabled',pDisableFlag);
pRegionStaticId is the region's static Id+
Note that this code specifically disables only application arrays. Disabled items are not available after submission (and hence are different from readonly) . But any page javascript can modify disabled or readonly items(client side), so you must check at the server side to validate the data.
You can disable items using
disableItems('MY_REGION_ID' ,true);and enable them by passing false
disableItems('MY_REGION_ID' ,false);

Changing not possible; field is read-only

Hello,
I need update Expected Value in Opportunity.
Expected Value is bound Opportunity.SalesForecast.ExpectedRevenueAmount.content.
When I try to update in adsl, "Changing not possible; field is read-only" error appears in frontend to the user.
Thanks!

Hi Rodrigo Mathias,Not an answer to your post just to share my problem
Seems Opportunity has a lot of problems. As in my case i am trying to code in BeforeSave method that when ever the opportunity gets create by code i have to poppulate my CUSTOM Invonved Party ( i have created custom party role ).
And i have passed partykey.partyId.content and RoleCode but when i click on save it gives me the error about Role Category!
now when debugged that all Parties ( i debugged and checked whole collection) had the Role category every party from that collection had the Role category associated!
So i tried to add r
ole category by code! but that is also public write access set as FALSE!
So finally i again opened the book for clod , and a line is specificaly written that PartyID node will not be used after 1402 there will be separate node PartyNAme where u can pass partyid , name or email!
but unfortunately that is also not available in the opportunity BO!
So i am also kind of stuck!
Btw one thing i would like to mention is when u try to maintain your custom role in opportunity manually it works and data gets saved!
Regards,
Dhruvin
