Preparing fields need 'locking' in Reader

Question

I am creating a document in Designer with several fillable fields. I will be distributing the document to people within my company who only have Reader, they will need to be able to lock some of the fields and then distribute to 'end users' outside the company who will fill in the remaining fields and email it back in.
To give you some more context, this is an expense form which the people in my company enter in 'approved dates' of the expenses and lock those fields, then the 'end users' outside the company list expenses and email the form back in to the accounts payable team.
Essentially, I need to know a way to lock some fields (in Reader) and then distribute for more fields to be entered by another user.

Answer 1

There are a couple of things wrong.
1. If you look at the hierarchy view, the scripting object is named Locking and you are calling MyScriptObject. These names must match ....rename the object to MyScriptObject.
2. It is in the wrong place, it need to be at the same level as ExpenseForm not at the InternalSubform level. You can simply drag the scriptobject and drop it ontop off ExpenseForm.
3. You have groups in your hierarchy, the script does not look inside of groups. I suggest that you wrap each of the group sections in a subform, then rename the subform with the same name that the group had. Then you can unGroup under the Layout menu.
Here is a screenshot of the finished hierarchy:
