Make only One page Read Only

I have a PDF doc that has three pages. After the first pages is signed (signature field on first page) I would like to make all the fields on that first page. When I use the following code:

 for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
        var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
        this.getField(fname).readonly = true; // makes all fields readonly
    }

Open in new window

as you can imagine...all the fields are made read only but I 'only' want the fields on page one to be read only. I've searched the web but cannot find what I am looking for. Any help would be most appreciated. Otherwise I am going to have to make each field read-only one by one in javascript code. That's a pain! :-)

 for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
        var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
        if( form.getFieldPositions(fname).get(0).page == 0 ) {  // if it doens't work with 0, try with 1
            this.getField(fname).readonly = true; // makes all fields readonly
        }
  }

@shogun5 did you try Leakim's solution - it looks like it would be more useful?

Yes I did but the page version did not work.
