Hi,

I wanted to create a visually pleasant book where users can type their text. When I use 'add text field option' and save afterwards; the file have a grey/light blue box to type the text in.

How can I remove it/ change colour / make it invisible?

I checked in preferences and it should be invisible....

Please, Help! I need it for work!

Just figured it out.. Pretty simple actually. When you go to add an editable field, for me there's a menu on the right. All of these highlighted spots correlate with auto generated form fields. You can right click and delete them from there.

Woohoo.

Well that worked to a degree. You can delete the boxes and remove the gray but the page format won't change. How do you format so it looks like a normal page?

Hi @Don38687311f8pr,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

The purpose of highlighting the form fields is for the ease of the user to identify where they can fill in.

I have the same issue. I've unchecked everything I can find that's relevant. You can't even do like a right click delete or anything. Ahhh..

Does it still appear if you turn off the fields highlighting feature? You can do it from the Tools - Forms menu.

I went to preferences/forms and all options in general I unselected. I also clicked on the text field itself in properties and in Appearance: border color / fill color where everything is set to no color.

Is this solvable?
