Malcolm,
See the JavaScript Guide, page 115; Doc Methods: flattenPages.
You'd open the JavaScript Console and issue the command "this.flattenPages {nStart:<starting page number>, nEnd:<ending page number>}"; don't use the quotes, and remember that the page numbers are zero-indexed. Press "Enter" (not "Return") to execute the command.
Examples:
this.flattenPages; // flatten all annotations (fields, notes, ....everything!) on all pages.
this.flattenPages(9); // flatten only page 10, and no other pages.
this.flattenpages(9,12); // flatten only pages 10, 11, 12, and 13.
AFAIK, discontinuous range specifications are not supported.
If you fail to flatten the pages, a user can enter text into that text box. If he's using Reader, it won't matter; whatever he types into it will be gone the next time he opens the document. Acrobat users will see the text every time the doc opens, though, so flattening is a good idea; it prevents entry into the field at all.

Hi, JR.
Thank you for your tip. How do I flatten the PDF? I've never done that before.
Thanks.
Malcolm

Just make a blank, borderless text field with a white background and
cover the numbers up. Put the field on the first page, then select it.
Choose Tools->Forms->Fields->Duplicate, and tell it to duplicate the
field on every page.
... then, "flatten" the PDF.
