Libre office Draw How to change font color of pdf form fillable text box

[Belrouk]

Hi

I hope i’m just missing something small, but i am unable to change the default font color of a form fillable text box in libreoffice Draw. My end goal is to convert a regular PDF to one that is form fillable.
What keeps happening is i get a default black form fillable text box with white text. What i want is a white/transparent text box with black text.

I have tried to edit the properties of the text and text box under control properties > General I can set the font, font size and background color of the text box but i can’t seem to find the option to set the font color.
When I export the document to PDF File > export as PDF and I tick off create PDF form
What I get is a white text box on my pdf (good)
When I click to fill it out it turns black with white text. (Bad). When I click away i get white text on a white textbox background so you are unable to read it.

After perusing the forms for a bit, I am unable to find a solution so i’m hoping someone here can help

I can provide pictures if needed

I have also tried setting all the styles to black font color ranter than default font color.
Running LibreOffice V 7.0.1.2 on Ubuntu V 20.04

I knew this asked long ago, but I had the same issue.

I found a work around but even with my version is older Version: 6.4.7.2. Try the following.

If set background color of such text field to white, then explicitly set the “Font” (Control Properties->Font (click on …)->Font color). Select not full black, but something like “Dark Gray2”. At the end, it will show up as somewhat full black.

was facing the same issue

the solution is quite simple

open new Text Document, make modification you desire with textfield → copy & paste the textfield to your other Libre Office window
