Scott,
Be careful with this approach...you may be introducing a security hole. Even though the field is
hidden, someone with Acrobat could export the XML and see the social security number. A more secure
method of protecting the social security number would be...
- Allow the first person to enter their SSN and submit the form
- In Workflow, extract the SSN and store it as a separate process variable
- Clear the SSN field on the form
- At the end of the workflow, repopulate the SSN field on the form from the stored variable
