PDF form writer, Libre writer

I’m trying to create a pdf form that i can enter information into to be email in a file. I’m using libre office writer, and have made the form with text boxes and exported to pdf successfully. However, when i fill in the text box info, the font color is too light, and i can’t seem to figure out how to make it darker.

Hi @KOZY!

Have you tried changing the font color in Writer?

Also, I’ve noticed that sometimes when you print the form, the text in the boxes will actually be dark.

i haven’t got my printer to work yet with my macbook converted to linux mint. i was having trouble finding the default settings for font. the basic text in writer works fine, but the text boxes didn’t, i did finde a workaround, although cumbersome. if i changed the font color of the text box to another color then back to black it worked.

@KOZY That workaround is good to know, thank you.

I’m frequently creating Docs and PDFs.
