PDF Form: Blocking fields before sending by e-mail

[Former Community Member]

Hello!

I've scratching my head with this problem for a while: I have this form that must be sent by e-mail with some of the fields locked (read only).

So what I'm doing is setting this BEFORE I e-mail the form:

     fieldName.access = "readOnly";

     app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

However, the form always arrives at its destination with the field unlocked and ready for editing.

Am I missing something?

Thank you for any ideas!

Hi Marcos,

Just check first that the Preserve Script Changes is set to Automatic.

Next, make sure that the script has fully executed before the email script. It might help to place the access script in the mouseUp event, which fires before the click event (containing the saveAs script).

I would then test this separate to the email script and see does it work on the local PC.

Hope that helps,
