Lock form upon submission

Avatar

Level 1

Hello, all!

I know this questions has been asked and posted before throughout these forums, but none of the answers seem to work for my situation.

I created a fillable form in Adobe LiveCycle. This form is submitted via e-mail. I need this form to be locked/uneditable when it is sent so that the recipient cannot alter it.

I know it's possible, but I have limited coding knowledge and can't seem to make it work. Any help would be monstrously appreciated.  =D

Also, once the file is sent (I have it set to be sent as a .pdf), is there any way to change the file name of the attachment?

Have you seen this thread.  Read through it because there is a sample attached that provides the code for making all fields read only.

Question 2:  I do not believe the name of the attachment can be changed.  Adobe does not support that functionality.  The user can "Save As" and change the name.

Check out www.pdfemail.net

PDFEmail.net can send PDF form submissions in FDF, XFDF, XDP, XML & PDF formats with Adobe Reader and ASP.net. PDFEmail.net works without any programming required. PDFEmail.net allows you to setup attachment formats and filenames, e-mail message fields, and user responses or redirects.

Using your own SMTP server, PDFEmail.net sends the form submissions without client side e-mail software such as OUTLOOK. Just create the scripts on a workstation, and upload the package to your virtual directory on your ASP.net web server, and set the submit action to point to the script.

The ultimate experience is back.
