Disable a form

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

     How do I disable a form, including its fields and buttons, with a press of a button (possibly with Acrobat Javascript)?

    Is there a function that will block all fields?

    This blocking must be permanent, that is, once the button is clicked all buttons should be disabled, allowing only the printing function.

Thank you.

Hi,

Check out Paul Guerette's excellent "LockAllFields" example here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3168183#3168183. This version does not lock the button objects, whose name starts with "Button".

An earlier version locks all objects, including buttons: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2689916#2689916.

You will need to look at the script in the click event of the Lock button. This calls a function in a script object.

You can access the script object under variables in the hierarchy palette.

Hope that helps,

Niall
