Summary


Details

When creating PDFs using the PDFCreator tool with the "All colors as black" option enabled, text fields are rendered as solid black blocks instead of showing the text. This issue occurs because the text fields have a white fill color defined, which is converted to black when the "All colors as black" option is selected.

Solution

To prevent text fields from appearing as black blocks in the generated PDF:

  1. Select the text box and right-click -> Properties.
    1. Select the "Border and Fill" tab.
      1. Change the "Fill color" from "White" to "None".
        1. Click OK.
          1. Save the document as PDF again.

            This will resolve the issue of text fields appearing as black blocks when the "All colors as black" option is used.
