Change of indesign behaviour regarding form elements - problems of non printing elements
Indesign Version 15.12x64 Windows
I opened an old document (paper registration/order form) and suddenly became aware that something has happened.
A lot of input fields was visible - in the old version i did never see tham in this view.
But this was not the problem.
The problem was, that if I converted the cocument to PDF with the STANDARD PRINT preset , all boxes were gone.
After some investigation i found out, that those have been converted to intaractive elements also without my knowledge.
Only after i changed the option "INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS" the very last option on the PDF export dialog box, to "consider appeareance /(original: Erscheinungsbild berücksichtigen in my german version)" these boxes also appeared in the PDF document.
Also i found no way to hide the interactive elements - the only way was the standard hide frame borders option or the preview option
