Questions and answers
Why lock the entries?
Nobody can change the values afterwards, the file prints the same everywhere, and some offices only accept locked files.
Are links kept?
Yes. Links and pop-up notes stay; hidden fields are removed.
A field came out empty.
Some PDFs keep a value without drawing it. Fill the form with Fill and sign first, then lock it.
