hi Deb,

GOTO...

interactive form ->properties

SET

enabled=false

your interactive form will become read only.

Hi Amol,

Thanks for your reply..

But my requirement is like ;we will be filling the online interactive form and the data will go to the datasource and also we are keeping the pdf as an archive which need to be read only.Need to change the property dynamically...

Can i set this property to false in the implementaion of the submit button.

Regards,

Deb

hi,

that should be easy.

make a Context attribute <xxx> of type "boolean"

GOTO

interactive form->properties ->enabled

there instead of choosing "true" or "false", you can bind it to a context attribute.(click on ...)

By default make the context "true" so that it is enabled.

at some particular event when you want it to be disabled. set the bound context to "false".

this should help.

hi

are u using Adobe Reader 7.0 Standard or Adobe Reader 7.0 Professional.

<b>when i save my enable="false" , read only form, it remains read only.</b>

but when i was saving the form onto the filesystem...

a message flashed... something like...

"this form will not let you save data unless u r using Adobe Reader 7.0 Standard/Professional"

thats why i asked ....

hi Deb,

when i make the form Read Only by setting enabled="false" the form remains read only.

i.e. after i made it read only, in the online scenario.

then i saved it, manually, on the file system.

then i opened that pdf by Adobe Reader.... it was still READ ONLY.
