I found a solution by myself. Some input type as Chekbox type have an additional hidden input so I need to disabled all the input used by ACF.

Exemple for Chekbox :

add_filter('acf/prepare_field', 'edit_prepare_field');
function edit_prepare_field( $field ) {
	...
	case 'checkbox':
		$field['wrapper'] = array('width'=> $width,'class'=> 'disabled_checkbox');
		$field['readonly'] = 1;
		break;
	...
	return $field;
}

function read_only_field_javascript() {
	...
	$('.disabled_checkbox select').prop('disabled','disabled');
        $('.disabled_checkbox input').prop('disabled','disabled');
	...
}

User field is more complex (use <span> for exemple) and can’t be disabled by the previous methode, some other like gallery can really be disabled so I change the field type to “enhanced_message” and display the value with some PhP.
