how to convert interactive form to non-editable pdf?

Hello all,

hope all is well with you guys!

​

upon creating an interactive form using indesign and adobe acrobat pro in to be filled out by various parties, now i want this pdf, that has been filled by those parties to be saved in a manner that is non-editable, and that keeps the filled data.

​

i looked it up on google, and couldn’t find a way other than saving it as optimized pdf then flatten all form fields from discard objects which does banish the filled out data.

Bicubic downsampling help?! via /r/pdf

Bicubic downsampling help?!

This might be long apologies in advance. I have a bunch of pdfs which I have been using bicubic downsampling to reduce their size as they are too big for what I need (125mb tops) I’ve been downsampling to 190ppi for images over 200ppi. I did this to one pdf (let’s call it book A) but it was still too big (it went from around 230 mb to 188 mb) so I then split book A into two parts and downsampled part 1 (it was still too big once split) however the quality of part 1 after downsampling was much less and to the point of unreadable (it then became 20mb). Any ideas why the quality changed so much, I didn’t change any settings, would the number of pages in the pdf affect the downsampling? Really sorry if this makes no sense but I’m just so confused, thanks!

Creating a frame over an image. via /r/pdf

Creating a frame over an image.

Basically, I created a pdf that has a frame around the image so that the frame prints over it. I was able to make it so it was hidden and printable and users were able to insert the image and it would print fine, but they wouldn’t be able to see that outside of print preview and I kept getting emails about how it wasn’t working properly even though it was.

So now, I am trying to make the frame that appears and obscures part of the fillable image field visible and printable, but not clickable in any way. I am having a lot of trouble. I was considering putting a button to the side so people just wouldn’t click the image field in the first place but their is probably an easier solution. The biggest issue is the frame image has to sit on top of the image field users click on.

Help? Thanks.
