I am creating a bracket style form pdf. each bracket will have a form field to add a name but there will be instances the bracket needs to be left blank due to the rotation of people. is there a way to either fill a field in with "Blank" or leave it blank that the background color changes to black? Picture enclosed of my bracket example.

Both are possible. Which one do you prefer? If you want to change the field's fill color then you have to disable the highlight color, though.

I would really like to make the box all black if there is no info to put into that field. Any suggestions on how I go about doing this? Thanks.

When should it change, then? If the field is black when the user clicks into it they won't be able to see what they're typing...
