I have a insurance form that I would like to scan into Adobe 5.0 and make fields to make it an Interactive form for people to fillout. Is there anyway to only print the context in the fields without printing the background of the document. It needs to be on the original form and not a duplicate print form...Can this be done in Adobe...If so...How??? Thanks for any advice.
 
Ok - easiest way is to create a read only button which covers the entire page with a white background, which is hidden BUT prints. Set the tab sequence of this field as #1. When you print the form it will 'print' the white background over the top of the graphic elements, and the remaining field contents will print over the white background.

Can I still see the form to fill it out???
 
Yes - you make this button hidden, but printable. It will not appear on the screen when viewed but will 'print' over the top of the background images (of course this means that nothing will print in the background).
