Convert dynamic pdf form to static pdf form

Is there a way to programatically convert dynamic pdf form to static pdf form?

My scenarios is our forms are dynamic pdf forms which have growing fields and dynamically added subforms. Once the user filled in the forms, the pdfs need to be converted to static pdf forms to be further processed by a 3rd party.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    you have several options.

    1)     Print the form with a PDF printer — Produces a completely non-interactive PDF file with a very small file size

    2)     Use JavaScript to lock down all or specific form fields — can also be combinated with password protection and preserves the interactivity of the form for further changes

         A sample can be found here http://forums.adobe.com/message/1921613#1921613

    Do you mean a flattened PDF whereby the form is no longer interactive?
