Word Form control markers showing on PDF export
Hi Paul,
There is a huge difference, in Word jargon, between a Content Control and a [legacy] formfield.
Neither, however, translate into pdf. In pdf, these are simply text.
What do you see if you fill these in?
This form should be saved as a template with new documents created from the template. Templates in Microsoft Word
If the lines show up in a pdf after the form is filled out, set the properties of the Content Controls to delete the content control when edited.
Charles_Kenyon Thank you for your response. I can see the logic of using that setting.
The marks are present when the form is filled in
One thing I didn't include in the original post was the red text needs to be black when the field is completed. I have achieved this, but I'm wondering if the colour change is part of the reason why the marks are appearing.
There are a couple of things I want to try; will update with the outcome.
