Sending a non editable pdf after completion.

Hi.
I have one pdf (with editable fields) that i distribute using distribute form. I want to know if after filling the pdf and pressing send button, the pdf can arrive back as a non-edible pdf filled with the sent information. In other words, the pdf that i receive back can have it's fields modified and then it can be saved again. I don't want it's fields to be editable.
Thanks

I am looking for the same answer. I want to give a few select people access to a document, but I want it returned to me as a non-editable read-only .pdf, how do I do that?

Fillable PDF to saved non-editable PDF

I currently have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Livecycle Designer ES 8.2. I am looking to create a fillable form PDF and then send it to clients who will use adobe reader to fill the form and then save it as non-editable PDF form for general usage.
How can this be done?
Thanks, Vijay

Hi Michael,
Thanks much for the response, can you help me with instructions on how I can enable extended rights? Sorry, I am not too familiar with the things in Acrobat or Livecycle.
Thanks,
Vijay

How to create a secure & non editable PDF? So that it cannot be modified by any of the secondary too

How to create a secure & non editable PDF? So that it cannot be modified by any of the secondary tools available online for security breaks and editing of PDF document
I put all the security options but still there are tools to break the security (even password) leading to editing of document
Need to avoid any such situation

If the document is important, and there is something to be gained by modifying it - then someone will just make a new copy of it (e.g. print and scan, screen capture), and make a new document, then change it.
If protecting the integrity of the document - proving it is unchanged - is the thing, look at digital signatures. Forget security, the signed file can be freely edited, but the signature will always show it is changed.

Does Adobe provide a PHP library for dynamically generating a non-editable PDF on a website?

As the title says, I am wondering if Adobe provides a PHP library for dynamically generating a non-editable PDF for my company website. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

By non-editable I assume you simply mean "with password security set" and understand the serious limitations of this.
While Adobe doesn't offer PHP it offers several server options
- LiveCycle PDF Generator. Java API and watched folder. Convert file types to PDF. Security can be set, but perhaps only globally.
- Adobe PDF LIbrary. For experienced C/C++ programmers. Licensed by DataLogics.

Is it possible to save a non-editable PDF from InDesign CS6?

Wehave an issue with our printer and would like to start giving them files that are non editable. In Illustrator it's as simple as checking and unchecking a box in the PDF settings dialogue. I've tried multiple ways that I have across the net but they all are editable once opened in Illustrator for example. We would like to give them flattend/non-editable PDF. We would prefer not to use any passwords or security features.
Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

Are you worried that they are opening the PDF in Illustrator and might accidently edit or move/delete something?
All printers would have either Acrobat or Adobe Reader which is free, so there is no reason for them to open your PDFs in Illustrator.
Perhaps they are opening them in AI to correct problems in your PDFs. Ask them if there are any issues, it's possible your InDesign or PDF creation process is wrong for digital printing, (for example, Rich Black text that needs to be converted to 100 Black only, etc.)
Or maybe they are doing imposition.
However, opening PDFs in Illustrator is still not a good idea. Illustrator is NOT a general purpose PDF editor.
In Acrobat Pro there are Preflight Profiles and Fixups that may correct some issues.
PitStop Pro is a better choice for correcting issues in PDFs. And there are also third party Acrobat plug-ins for impostion purposes.
A RIP with software specifically designed for it will also help fix PDFs without resorting to Illustrator.
Since your printer is in-house, I suggest you have a meeting to ask if they are opening your PDFs in Illustrator and why they are doing so.
Perhaps some guidelines should be agreed upon by both sides and enforced by some rules.
I have a feeling that some additional training (possibly on both sides) is needed to straighten out this situation.

How to create a non editable PDF

How to create a non editable PDF in PDF writer 5 & 6 Professional.

There was a PDF Writer driver available in AA 5 (not in AA 6). It was part of the custom install and was not recommended for use. In AA 5, the Acrobat Distiller printer was preferred. In AA 6, the name was changed to the Adobe PDF printer. In any case, once you have the PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat and go to the document properties. Select the security options to restrict changes and/or extracting text. The security is not all that robust, but works for most folks.

Save PDF form into non editable PDF through button (SaveAs) using java script

I am creating PDF form using LiveCycle 8.0.
1) Using SaveAs the form in PDF (non editable) by using button and javascript
( app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
myScript.LoclAllFields("form1");) this code is not working.
2) show / hide the field by choosing the drop down List.
Like, In drop down list their is tree option name a, b, c. when select "A" hide the field_A and select "B". then show the field_A.

Thanks for that script, it is a great way of securing it from being edited, but reader still won't allow the form to be saved, only as a copy without the inputted text. The idea of what I'm trying to achieve is a form which the staff here fill out and then send to our customers with non editable fields, there is the option to print to pdf but that saves the file as an 'image', this stops people from highlighting text which we don't want, they have to be accessible afterwards to copy and paste the text at a later date.
I hope someone can help with what should be such a simple action.

How to make non editable field after requestor created the shoping cart

Hi,
i need to make non editable field (Price field) after requester created the shooping cart.The field should be non editable only for requster .
this i need to make when workflow triggers when the buyer sends back the shopping cart to requester.
one solution which i found:depend on the status of the shoping cart
but i dont know whether it is correct way.
if not please suggest me the solution.

Hi,
You can implement the BADI" BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI".
You can check for the role of the user who has logged in(e.g. for user REQUESTER,there will be a distinct role to idnetify that the user is a requester) and then acc set the display properties for the field PRICE.
For sample code pls refer the foll links:

Is there an easy way to save a form as a non-editable PDF?

Is there something like 'save as non-form PDF' in Acrobat PRO? I have a form which I want to use and then save as something that does not have editable fields, just plain PDF. Preferably some way that does not include complex stuff, because if that is the case, I'd rather just create a word processing document from which I can crank out print to PDF.
I must add: I tried "Sanitize document" but that turns the content of the pages into pixel-based images and that is not what I want.
I must also add: I do not want to trust stuff like security, locking and such
I must also add: the result must be a PDF that is usable outside of Adobe apps (non-Adobe PDF viewers)

If your base content is in a Word Doc or RTF file, you can use OpenOffice.org Write to add form fields to the document and the you can export as PDF and the created PD will contain the form fields.
With the additional of iPxd, tablets, and smart phones and viewer apps the possablity of the end user not being able to-in the form or have the form work as expected has increased.
As for Apple Preview, there is script to fix the viewable PDF. Exporting the data a to an FDF, XFDF, etc should still be possible.

Non-editable view after succesful save of complaint

Hello,
We want to make the view of Complaints non-editable after succesful save of the Complaint.
I think I must add some code in method EH_ONSAVE of component BT120H_CPL/ OVViewset.
Do you have any idea of how to achieve this?
Best Regards.

Thanx for you answers.
I understand that with your solutions the entire transaction will be locked for every user.
But what I need is to lock the business transaction in one status for certain users.
For example...
The IC_AGENT is creating a Service Request when he save the document another process take the document to determine some values.
The standard behavior is... After saving the document, the document stay open in the IC_AGENT screen and what I need is to change it to view mode so the backgroung process can take the document and determine the values.
Any idea?
Best Regards.

Editable PDF Not Completely Editable.

I have an editable pdf that has areas specified for editing. I can edit every page in the document on Bluebeam but I cannot edit them all in Adobe. I am prohibited to edit any pages past the first 3. Does anyone know how to enable the editing of the remaining 6+ pages?

Sending a filled in form as a non-editable pdf

Hello,
I created a pdf to be filled in and sent by customers. When the form is sent, though, the addresses receives the still editable form. I want the editable form to be sent as a usual pdf, so that the content cannot be changed by the anyone receiving it via e-mail. Is that actually possible?

It would probably be better to send the data and not the form. The data should be sent to a secure web site for processing by a script. The reason for the secure web site is the probable use of personal information that should not be part of an e-mail (not secure and a potential for getting your company in trouble). When received, the script could enter the data in a database and forward a document to someone within the company for further processing, or at least notify them of the receipt of the data.
