How to Protect/Lock a Fillable Form After Being Created


Vicki Gable

Recommended Posts

Is there a way, and if so, how would I protect/lock a fillable form once I've created it. I don't want anyone, not even the recipient to change or type information anywhere on the form other than the designated areas. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can protect/lock the forms you placed on the document by assigning a document permission. Please refer to the steps below:
Note: Please make a copy of the document before assigning a document permission. 

1. Go to File > Document Properties. 
2. Under Security tab, Set the Security Method to Password Security. This will open the Password Security window. 
3. Under Permissions section, tick the box then assign a password and take note of it. Under Changes allowed, set it to Filling-in form fields and signing (see screenshot below)

4. Click Finish > OK. Then save the document. 

I recommend to further test the permissions you can assign on the document so you could see the results. 

Kind regards,
