>Now. As far as why am I worried about someone changing the form itself (not the fields goofball - I realize they have to fill it out)<<   

Now what does this say?  "Because if they have distiller/acrobat they can change the form's fields. Is there a way to lock the form (write protect) so they cannot change the fields?"   

Don't call me a goofball because you are not capable of expressing yourself properly!  Try taking an ESL class at the Junior College. 

If the form is a PDF, and you created it, you can set security on it so the form can not be changed. Methods differ depending on what version of Acorbat you are using, but with Acrobat 5.x  you choose File>Document Security>choose Standard as the security type, and check the appropriate boxes.  This only affects the document itself, not the form fields, which means you can check the No Changing the Document box and they can still fill out the form.
