I have a PDF template form and I want a field on the form to be hidden from view, but printable when pdf is printed.

The user does not input any data on the form - all contents are read only.

Hi George - appreciate the screen shot above. I have tried this setting and the field still displays when the form is opened. I want it to be hidden on display, but printed on paper.

Is it visible when you're not in form editing mode? Are you able to test it in Reader?
