Making a "Text Entry" Box disappear on printing

Jan 27, 2020

Hello all. I am building a certificate page that is to be printed. I got to the point that the slide asks for a name and upon entry you can then print a certificate of completion with your name and date completed (this is being hosted outside an LMS)

 

Initially it was just printing everything after hitting the "Print" button. Finally, I thought to create triggers to make everything unwanted disappear  from the printed page. This has worked for most unwanted objects except for one. I can't get the "Text Entry" box to go away. It isn't select-able in the trigger drop-down, which is unlike other shapes and textboxes. 

 

My work-around idea is to put a white box on top of the Text Entry box, make the white box initially hidden. Then when you hit the print button adding a trigger that changes the state of the white box, un-hiding it, thereby masking the "text entry" box. voila.

 

However, the hidden box isn't re-appearing upon being triggered =(

Ideas? I feel like I am missing something pretty simple. But things seem to be in order as far as I can tell. I am at a loss.
