I used PDF-Xchange Editor Plus to create a PDF that will be used to print on checks.
The problem that I am having is that Foxit Reader and Acrobat Reader are printing the boxes around each of the form fields. I have tried all the relevant settings related to what is going to be printed, but it doesn't matter.
Is there some way in PDF-Xchange Editor Plus that I can specify to NOT print the boxes that go around the form fields when a person prints this out in some other software?
How do I hide the form field boxes when printing in other software?

Re: How do I hide the form field boxes when printing in other software?
Did you verify the Style properties of the text boxes in your PDF-Form ?
You can :
1) change the "Stroke Color" (used for the border) from black (rgb: 0, 0, 0) to white (rgb: 255, 255, 255),
AND/OR
2) change the "Border Width" from "1 pt" to "0 pt"
Does this help ?

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Indeed those should help, but they will also have effect on the appearance of the fields on screen - so @PDFNut - please make sure that you balance between the looks on screen and the desired result when printing!
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: How do I hide the form field boxes when printing in other software?
I can't seem to locate the "Text Field Properties" only "Text Properties". Where would I find that?
Update
Nevermind. I couldn't find it when selecting them in "Fields", but "Selecting Fields" tool via Forms got me what I needed.
I was able to select them all and set the stroke to 0% and got the output I desired. Thanks for the help!
