Printing document not showing value in TextFiled

PDFCreator PDFCreator English

I have saved PDF document with TextField which contains a string. This document is set as “Add Background” in profile.

When I print a sedond document (.ods) with this profile, background prints fine except there is no value from TextField.

Hi,

if you take the PDF document which you would like to use as background and print it to PDFCreator directly, is the text field filled or blank?

Best regards,

Robin

If document, that should be the background and contains TextField, is opened in AcrobatReader or Architect and then printed trough PDFCreator it displays TextFiled with borders and value of it.

When this document is set as background it prints everything except TextField.

Hi,

this is probably a general problem in the PDF processing engine we use to attack the PDF as background. If it is only a single file, a potential workaround would be to first convert the PDF which will be used as background to a lossless image format like PNG and then to reconvert it back to PDF. This will remove any non visible information for the background PDF and the textfield+content will be a simple image which will get rendered in any case.
We will also have a closer look at this and check if it is possible to include the contents of text fields or other form elements when using a PDF as background.

Best regards,

Robin
