I am creating a fillable pdf to distribute- i need to have instructions in the text field that will not print. so in the address text box i want the word your dept address here but will disapear when printing.

Another challenge i have is to make a fillable pdf with a space on the top where a letter head can be dropped in by the form completer. I h ave the form going ot multiple departments and they each have their own letter head. Is there a way to make that happen?

-You can add an "image field" to allow the users to insert a custom header to the pages of the file.

How do I do that? Then will it allow only specific images like must be jpg or can do a copy past of their letter head?

so it could only be if they have adobe and do the steps?

Also if I use the below script (used form someone else not sure if totaly wrong) in my validation tab would it make instructions show but not print? And if it is wrong can you fix it?

if(!event.value){event.value = "organization address here";event.target.display=display.noPrint;}else{event.target.display= display.visible;}

Correct. And yes, that code seems correct, too.
