Formatting a text box.

[[email protected]]

Hi

I'm stamping pdf files by adding a 2 text boxes, One I'm adding just a string and another one I'm adding today's date by running a javascript. I'm having a hardtime to format the text box removing the Back color and also the border, take a look in the attached pictures:

my code:
//Create TextBox to add today date
PdfTextBoxField txtboxDate = new PdfTextBoxField(newPage, "Today" + i.ToString());
PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 9f);
txtboxDate.Bounds = new RectangleF(x + 310, y, 50, 15);
txtboxDate.BorderWidth = 0.75f;
txtboxDate.BorderStyle = PdfBorderStyle.Solid;
actionDate = new PdfJavaScriptAction(scriptDate);
txtboxDate.Actions.Calculate = actionDate;
newPdf.Form.Fields.Add(txtboxDate);

//Create TextBox to add DataSourceStamp
PdfTextBoxField txtboxDataSourceStamp = new PdfTextBoxField(newPage, "Note" + i.ToString());
txtboxDataSourceStamp.Bounds = new RectangleF(x, y, 310, 15);
txtboxDataSourceStamp.BorderWidth = 0.75f;
txtboxDataSourceStamp.BorderStyle = PdfBorderStyle.Solid;
txtboxDataSourceStamp.BorderColor = Color.White;
txtboxDataSourceStamp.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
txtboxDataSourceStamp.ForeColor = Color.Transparent;
txtboxDataSourceStamp.Text = DataSourceStamp;
newPdf.Form.Fields.Add(txtboxDataSourceStamp);

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Firstly, you can refer to the following code snippet to remove the Border of the textbox

Code: Select all

txtboxDataSourceStamp.BorderWidth = 0.0f;


As for removing the background color of the textbox, actually, it takes effect when testing your code. You can find that there is no backcolor while opening the generated PDF by Adobe Acorbat, but the blue backcolor indeed exsits while opeing it by Adobe Reader. In fact, this difference is caused by Adobe Reader's own design. To verify it, you can manually add a textbox field without backcolor in Adobe Acorbat, and then open it by Adobe Reader, you can find the default blue backcolor also exists. Sorry our Spire.PDF have no way to control the default backcolor of textbox in Adobe Reader. However, to achieve the effect you want,you could set the textbox to be ReadOnly. After that, there will be no backcolor in Adobe Reader. Please feel free to contact us if you have any question.

Code: Select all

txtboxDataSourceStamp.ReadOnly = true;
