Here's my scenario: A user fills out a PDF form and then we print the field form data only onto a hard copy of the form which is preloaded in the printer.
 
So essentially, I want to maintain the array and content of form fields but not print the labels, outlines, logos etc. Just the data. How do I select the 'non-printing' elements?
 
thanks in advance
Dan

In Acrobat, you can choose to print "Form Fields Only" in the Print dialog that gets displayed when you print. Unfortunately, this option isn't available with Reader.

I actually have found an answer to my own post - in the print dialog box, you can select 'Form Data Only' for printing. That works perfectly but now I have to tweak the layout so field data actually ends up in the form field on the pre-printed form.
