Please help. I have a series of pdfs with form fields in them. The data in the form fields needs to be edited, in Acrobat Reader, by only authorised people - and they need to be able to save their changes.
I have Acrobat 9.4 Pro and have tried by using 'Advanced>Security>Encrypt with Password'. I have then checked the Restrict Editing box, entered a password, selected the High Res Printing option and None for Changes Allowed and proceeded with the reentering of the password. I have then selected 'Advanced>Extended Features in Reader' (to facilitate the save option in Reader).
The result, however, is a pdf which is editable and saveable by anyone in Acrobat Reader but demands a password if you try to edit the document in a programme like Illustrator which defeats the purpose. Is there another way to secure the file to achieve the desired result. Your help would be much appreciated.
