Printing on coloured form

I have a 12 page pre printed government document that I fill out from a database. Each page is handled as a standalone report. On each page I simply have to print the jpg image background for that page and the content of the appropriate field that answers the question on the form. A database maintains records for each of the 'users'.

The form has a light colour in the space for each answer to the form's questions.

I have set the field's Fill/Back Colour to transparent but the full extent of the field prints with black text on a white background thus preventing the 'colored form background to print in the field.

You can imaging that this detracts from the completed form's appearance, with a white 'bar' on the form in each field.

Is it possible to really make the background transparent and only print the 'black ink' of the answer to the question?
