Making a "Text Entry" Box disappear on printing
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.
I answered my own questions: I moved the "mask" to cover the unwanted boxes onto a seperate layer and then had that layer appear upon clicking the 'print' button.
voila. simple as pi.
Thanks for sharing, I've been trying to figure how how to hide the text entry box and this worked perfectly!
