Hide borders while printing

[John_F_Clarke]

I am creating a form and I would like the borders of some of the text fields to be hidden when the document is printed without hiding the contents completely I would appreciate any suggestions on how this could be done.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I have a sample here:

http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/category/portfolio/laying-out-form-objects/

If you have a look at the objects in the middle column on page2, you will see script in the prePrint and postPrint events to hide the border (change presence property).

Hope that helps,

Niall

Niall,

When I tried out your form the border in the Name field (TextField4) still showed up when I printed it. Is there something else I need to do in order for the javascript to work correctly?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Yes, it is TextField4 on page2:

The script in the object's prePrint event is:

var vName = this.name.toString();
xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.textEdit.border.edge").presence = "invisible";

The script in the postPrint changes it back to visible.

Is that working for you?

I see in your photo where the border does not show up when you print it, but it continues to show up when I print. Is there a setting I'm missing or something?

Hi John,

Are you opening the form in Acrobat or Adobe Reader? Some PDF viewers do not fully support XFA forms.

Also, if you are using Acrobat/Reader then check the preferences to make sure that Javascript is enabled:

That should work,
