The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can you make a form's editable in Acrobat Professional but not Acrobat Reader??

Asked by debbiez in Adobe Acrobat

Tags: acrobat, adobe, editable, form, make

I'm in a dilemma here.  I'm using Adobe Designer to create material history sheet forms which I will then let 4 users of Adobe Acrobat Pro modify the text field.  What happens is they then save the PDF to an SQL database through Columbiasoft's Document Locator software.  From then on out if they need to append to that PDF or add data to it they query the repository, open of the PDF through Adobe Acrobat Pro and enter data into the next text field in the table I setup, and then they resave that PDF to the repository overwriting the old version.  However there are 8 other people who are allowed to view it through just Adobe Reader.  My problem is, I don't want them to be able to click in the text field areas and delete or type over what's in there.  I know they can't save anything but I want to eliminate the confusion.  Is there any way I can stop Adobe Reader from allowing them to click in the text fields??
