When I make a text field form invisible, I can't write in it. WHY?

New Here ,
Jun 01, 2018 Jun 01, 2018

I have made af pdf, where the customer have to fill in som fields.

It works fine when I keep the form text field visible (so that you see the blue field).
But I want to make it INvisible. When I do that I also loose the opportunity to write in it… WHY? I simply can't figure it out.

Please help!

Can you do that in Acrobat?

Does that mean, that you can't just fill / write directly in the pdf / Acrobat?

An invisible form s completely invisible. The blue box isn’t even part of it. Everything typed into it is invisible, it’s as if it doesn’t exist. Are you saying you want working form fields but no blue box?
