Hi Anurodh,

Just do the following:

1. Put all the subforms in a single subform your pdf form.

2. Create another subform to get password from user. On it create a password field and a button.

3. Now suppose in your pdf the main subform let 'A' contains subforms A1, A2, A3. A3 is password form.

4. Then write the following code in the form:ready event of the A:

$.A1.presence =  "hidden"
$.A2.presence =  "hidden"

5. Write the following code in the click event of the button on the subform for password i.e. A3.

if( PasswordField1.rawValue == "password" )
then
A.A1.presence = "visible"
A.A2.presence = "visible"
$.parent.presence = "hidden"
else
$host.messageBox("Wrong Password!!!!!")
endif

Hope it will help to create a password protected pdf form.
