Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF

Avatar

Former Community Member
I need some help with LiveCycle.



I've created a form that will be sent to several people to fill out. Once they fill it out, they will need to save the form as a non-fillable file (normal PDF?) and send on to others to be read-only. The form will not come back to me.



I cannot figure out how to enable the form to be saved as a normal, non-changeable PDF.



Also, the only option seems to be that the form is returned to me. I don't want that, either.



Thank you!

Hi,

I am afraid that you can't any more. This is mainly due to changes that Apple made (as far as I can remember).

Basically in Acrobat for Mac OR Reader for Mac, you cannot Print to PDF.

I did try a workaround a year ago of Saving the form as a Postscript file and then creating the PDF from that. However the problem is that this approach does not honour presence set to "visible (screen only)", so buttons are visible on the PDF version.

Hope that helps,

Niall
