I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0
I have a customer who would like his team to receive the completed LiveCycle Designer Form in a read-only format. To clarify: User A completes the dynamic form fields, uses the Submit by Email button and Team Member B receives the PDF in a public email-box. My customer does not want the employee (Team Member B) to alter any information on that form once it has been received; he wishes that information to be in a Read-Only format. Anyone have any step by step tips?
Thanks!

Though I use different approach myself for this kind of scenario.....here is one easy way you can try.
When the userA submits the form and emails it to the next....userB when open the form in his/her email I guess you control the display of the so called "Submit" button based on some value/logic isn’t it?
If yes I would use the same value/logic in making the fields read-only.
Here is how I would add my JS to each field that you want to make read-only after submit.
In docReady event of each field that you want to lock down.........
// replace "submitButton" with actula SOMexpression for the submit button.
if (submitButton.presence == "hidden") {
this.access = "protected";
}
Good Luck,

You can also submit the PDF to a script, and "Flatten" the PDF.
for more information on how to flatten the PDF,
