Field shows on form, only content prints out

[mdawn50]

How do I get the field to display on the form, but the box or field background shading doesn't print--only the user filled in content prints out.

Thanks,

Hi,

You would need to have script in the prePrint and postPrint events of each field that has a background fill colour. You could also set up a loop to look through all of the object and change the background colour, but that is a bit more complicated. Try this first.

prePrint:

var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#textEdit.border.fill.color");

fieldObj.value = "255,255,255";

/* Check the type of object and change the .ui reference:

    Date field = #dateTimeEdit 
    Dropdown = #choiceList 
    Checkbox = #checkButton 
    Text field = #textEdit 
    Numeric field = #numericEdit

*/

postPrint:

var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#textEdit.border.fill.color");

fieldObj.value = "225,255,225"; // the original RGB of the object

/* Check the type of object and change the .ui reference:

    Date field = #dateTimeEdit 
     Dropdown = #choiceList 
     Checkbox = #checkButton 
     Text field = #textEdit 
     Numeric field = #numericEdit

*/

You will need to change the .ui reference depending on the object type. For example the script above is for a textField.

Good luck,
