Create a read only invisible field to e.g. hide your record ID in FileMaker:
Set Variable [ $r; Value:
Let ( [
fieldName = "ID";
field = MBS( "DynaPDF.CreateTextField"; $pdf; fieldName; -1; 0; 200; 120; -50; 300; 20 );
r = MBS("DynaPDF.SetFieldFlags"; $pdf; field; "Hidden ReadOnly Invisible NoView"; 0)
/* yes, three ways to hide! */
]; field ) ]
Create readonly field:
Set Variable [ $r; Value:
Let ( [
fieldName = "Customer No";
field = MBS( "DynaPDF.CreateTextField"; $pdf; fieldName; -1; 0; 200; 120; -50; 300; 20 );
r = MBS("DynaPDF.SetFieldFlags"; $pdf; field; "ReadOnly"; 0)
]; field ) ]
Loop over all fields and turn them read only:
Set Variable [ $count ; Value: MBS( "DynaPDF.GetFieldCount"; $PDF ) ]
Set Variable [ $index ; Value: 0 ]
If [ $index ≤ $count ]
Loop [ Flush: Always ]
# turn field to read only
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.SetFieldFlags"; $pdf; $index; "ReadOnly"; 0 ) ]
#
# next
Set Variable [ $index ; Value: $index + 1 ]
Exit Loop If [ $index ≥ $count ]
End Loop
End If
