Word Form control markers showing on PDF export
Hello,
As the subject says, I’m getting markers showing in my PDF files that have been exported from Word. The document/template is set up with content controls for the form fields. When the form fields have been filled out, the file is exported as a PDF.
In the image the left side is the Word doc, the right side is the PDF. I’ve indicated the marks with cyan ovals.
The text has exported as an image and they have exported as paths.
I have exported using “Save as Adobe PDF” from the File menu, “Create PDF” from the Ribbon and by selecting PDF from options under “Save As” in the File menu.
I’m running MS365 on Windows 11 Pro. I rarely use Word.
As this file will be used by an number of different users of varying experience levels, I am hoping that there is solution that can be applied to the template.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
