How to make fields non fillable?

Here's my dilemma:

I have created a form which will be made into a carbon copied form.  The printers are having difficulty using the form as they are saying the fields are still fillable.  I have selected the read only option for the value of the text fields within the form.  The Preview PDF looks as if the fields are non fillable but when you open the PDF using Adobe reader the fields are non fillable but you can still see the cursor floating in there.  I think this is causing the problem when they are trying to plate it for printing.

Where am I going wrong here?  Suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Change the fields from read-only to protected and the cursor won't enter the fields.
