Is it possible to set form fields to only print when they're filled in?

Report · Jul 29, 2019

I have sample text in my fields, which I don't want to print. But, if someone fills out the form, I do want their filled-in information to print. Is this possible to set up?

OK, then you can use this code as the document's Will Print script:

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f==null) continue;
    if (f.type=="button") continue;
    if (f.valueAsString==f.defaultValue) f.display = display.noPrint;
    else f.display = display.visible;
}

The script works in Adobe Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC. What app does you use?

I'm using Acrobat DC and it still prints the title2 line.

I can't see this line on the printout.

Have you enabled Javascript in the preferences of Acrobat?

Javascript is enabled and working. Otherwise the name line would not be in all caps.

My printout still shows the Title2 line...

Post a screenshot of your printout.

Works fine for me as well.
