print a designer form as pdf using distiller

Is it possible to print a life cycle designer form as pdf?



We have test reports with diffrent form-fields and signature on it.

They are all made with life cycle designer 7.0 and filled in with Acrobat

Professional 7.05.

Is it possible to print the form as pdf with the distiller, so no one can change the fields with Acrobat Standard?

I know you can protect the fields with the security options but for reasons

I can't explain here we want to do it with the method mentioned above.



Thanks for all ideas and opinions

You should be able to open the form in Acrobat and Print to PDF.

The problem is that Acrobat shows that the desingner document has a password for security.

when I try to print as pdf the procedure stops with the message:



"This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.

Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted."



The strange thing is that I told designer in the document options not to use a password for security but Acrobat shows me that the document is password protected. I can even change the security settings to "no security" without typing in a password.



After changing the security options in Acrobat I can print the form as pdf without a problem.



Is it possible to remove the "password" for the documents using the

"Stapelverarbeitung" I don't know if "batch processing" is the right

translation because I use the german version. :-)

Interesting. There is a kind of security, designed to stop Acrobat

from trying to edit Designer forms. It may be that you can save the

form from Designer in a different format, but I don't know the details

or if that would work.
