Ah, you might need Taifun's Tools Extension which will show the keyboard [image] [image]

Hi SharonRoffey,

As per you document, I figured it out, the Text box is hidden inside "Artwork details" heading when I collapse/Expand it will show up Text box and I deleted Text box as per your requirement. See image below for your reference:

I just send you corrected file via PM, please access and get you Word file.

I appreciate your understanding and stay safe!!

Best Regards

From assisting someone else with this problem, I believe we confirmed that it is the source of the original PDF file (either the program creating the file, or the process by which it was created) that is causing the issue.Not all PDF files were having this problem for my customer... only files they had been provided from one source.  When we opened those files, then printed through Adobe PDF to a PDF file the same size (Check "Actual Size" and "Choose paper source by PDF page size" then the new PDF file worked perfectly with text boxes, and all other editing tools.

There are many ways to ensure Text objects are "invisible" for many reasons and the most common is OCR or simply a PDF.js browser reader. Where the image provides the visuals and the text layer is simply a transparency over or under the image.

Equally text may be as black as coal but have a white image as redaction or spoiler mask.

If the text is in the foreground it can often be seen by commanding a colour be applied to text. But if in the background, it's order would need changing to foreground and still it could be masked by a solid white annotation.

Since you can only efficiently tell by use a visual GUI editor it is simplest to use any good PDF editor to fix the order or color.

As far as the invisibility goes, put this CSS on your input:

input {
    background: transparent;
    border: none;
}

Check out this jsFiddle that shows this in action. As far as positioning the input goes, you should be able to handle that normally.

Readonly:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="firstbox" readonly="readonly">

Disable:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="firstbox" disabled="disabled">

Invisible:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="firstbox" type="hidden">

UPDATE

READONLY and DISABLED both remove the functionality of the input field, but to different degrees. READONLY locks the field: the user cannot change the value. DISABLED does the same thing but takes it further: the user cannot use the field in any way, not to highlight the text for copying, not to select the checkbox, not to submit the form. In fact, a disabled field is not even sent if the form is submitted.
