Hi
There are multiple options - however there is one thing you must remember - if you do not want someone to see something, do not give them access.
Hide the design - being the simplest method, also makes it difficult for the normal average user to look into document properties and get information
If you can make the “user specific” data into a separate document then you can use Readers fields to completely make it inaccessible to other users

HI Gayathri,
Thankq for Ur response. Can U pls explain how can I acheive this with some example code or process.
Like I have one form where it can only accessible to chairman he will assign that to his assistant he will be having one option in that form whether he want to show that data to assistant or not. If he select “NO” then the assistant should not able to see that data in that document. Can U pls explain the process in this in order to hide the data from document properties too.
thankyou very much.

You might consider to re-read the Gayathri’s response.
What you want cannot be done the way you want it. If the design of an application is hidden, no field properties are displayed at all (but a hidden design can be circumvented). If the information is stored in a different document, the other document can have different reader access. If a field is encrypted, it its content cannot be seen from the field properties. But there is no way to simply hide a given field from the field properties.
