I have a .DOC file with form fields that I need to convert to PDF. Cause later, I'll use QuickPDF to stuff data into the form fields of this PDF.

However, I'm having a problem on the first form field cause when I export it to PDF, it overwrites the background image, I mean, it creates a "white hole" over the background image. So, I'd like to know if there's a way to make this form field transparent.

You can get a sample of the .DOC from here :

Thanks in advance 4 your support !

The SetBackgroundColor() and SetBorderColor() OLE Automation methods in Adobe's FormsAPIReference both support the Transparent colorspace, but I don't see any way to set these with iSEDQuickPDF.

If you have Acrobat (or possibly NitroPDF), you could probably set these manually in your PDF template.

Also, I notice that if you select a fill color for the text box in Word, you have the option to set it as "semitransparent". Perhaps your distiller will pass it through to the PDF.

Hello Chicks

Thanks for you reply !

I tried NitroPDF and it DOES offer more options to add form fields.

I'm having another problem now and I'm opening another topic : about border line.

Thanks again !

I found an answer :

Use Adobe Professional to convert the file. It works fine.
