Hi Razvanb
Did you get a answer for how to have background color set w/o the field
being in focus.
I am facing a similar problem and I am actually facing it with both
PdfFormField as well as TextField
1st way to create a textfield
PdfFormField field = acroForm.addSingleLineTextField(name, text, m_baseFont,
m_fontSize, left, bottom, right, top);
2nd way
TextField tf = new TextField(writer, new
Rectangle(left, bottom, right, top), name);
tf.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
tf.setText(text);
tf.getAppearance();
//tf.setVisibility(tf.HIDDEN);
try {
writer.addAnnotation(tf.getTextField());
} catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated
catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (DocumentException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Both behave the same. Background color only becomes visible after the field
is clicked.
I have played with PdfAppearances setting them to normal, rollover and
down.It does not help
please share any insights.
Greatly appreciated
