You are right, you can add a pair Ff - value into dictionary.
Also you can use the FlattenPage method

But this method will take effect after saving the document only.

This appears to work. Tweak the control.FieldType condition to include/exclude fields.

Code:

    foreach (PdfField control in _forms.InterForm.Fields)
    {
        if (control.FieldType == FormFieldTypes.FPDF_FORMFIELD_TEXTFIELD
            || control.FieldType == FormFieldTypes.FPDF_FORMFIELD_CHECKBOX
            || control.FieldType == FormFieldTypes.FPDF_FORMFIELD_COMBOBOX)
        {
            string k;
            PdfTypeBase v;
            bool hasFlags = false;
            foreach (var d in control.Dictionary)
            {
                k = d.Key;
                v = d.Value;
                if (d.Key == "Ff" && v.ObjectType == IndirectObjectTypes.Number)
                {
                    hasFlags = true;
                    PdfTypeNumber n = (PdfTypeNumber)v;
                    n.IntValue = n.IntValue | (int)FieldFlags.ReadOnly;
                }
            }
            if (!hasFlags)
            {
                PdfTypeNumber fieldFlags = PdfTypeNumber.Create((int)FieldFlags.ReadOnly);
                control.Dictionary.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, PdfTypeBase>("Ff", fieldFlags));
            }
        }
    }

Hi -
I dug into the Dictionary for each field and found that key "Ff" relates to FieldFlags. I can set the read only flag via IntValue() however, I am getting inconsistent results because not all fields have an "Ff" in their dictionary. Is there another way to set the FieldFlags, or should I add "Ff" to the dictionary (if that is even possible)?

Code:

foreach (PdfField control in _forms.InterForm.Fields)
{
    //if (control.FieldType == FormFieldTypes.FPDF_FORMFIELD_TEXTFIELD)
    //{
        string k;
        PdfTypeBase v;
        foreach (var d in control.Dictionary)
        {
            k = d.Key;
            v = d.Value;
            [h]if (d.Key == "Ff" && v.ObjectType == IndirectObjectTypes.Number)[/h]
            {
                PdfTypeNumber n = (PdfTypeNumber)v;
                n.IntValue = n.IntValue | (int)FieldFlags.ReadOnly;  // ReadOnly == 1
            }
        }
    //}
}

Hi

I am setting the value for interactive form fields, then using Save to create a PDF. The PDF is sent to the user who will view with Acrobat reader etc. I need a way to prevent the user from changing a field value.

Is it possible to set the PdfField Flags property?
Or, is it possible to set a Document readonly property?
Or, is it possible to flatten a field so that it becomes static text on the PDF?

Thanks!
D
