Hello everyone!! I'm making a form in OOO but came across an issue that i can't seem to find a way to fix. I opened this document in 3 different PDF viewers with the same problem showed in the image.
Any ideas on how can i make the end result form look like the document? I will leave the document below so you guys can check it out.
I'm no expert with Open Office so it might be a mess lol.
My document is in Spanish so don't mind it.
Thanks!

Re: Help with a form
Can you explain the problem in more detail? At the moment the .odt and pdf files look the same to me.
What am I missing?

The blueish rectangle in the middle of the text boxes is not present when editing,even if I change the background to a color other than white,that rectangle still fills all of them,it appears in the PDF version only.
Sorry I didn't stop to actually explain it,my bad :p

I don't see these artefacts. It might be added by your PDF viewer. My PDF viewer is Evince on Linux.

Re: Help with a form
I have to agree with Villeroy. I do not see these artefacts in Okular or Evince in Ubuntu.
Ah, wait, if I open the file in Chrome I see the blue background. If I enter any data the box turns white during data entry and then the blue background returns.
Firefox opens the file with no background but tells me that "The filling of form fields is not supported".
@ Villeroy
What happens if you open the file in Chrome? Linux -- Windows difference perhaps?

Re: Help with a form
Firefox is my one and only browser. It could be related to a theme or something. Somewhere in the Windows control panel you can adjust the overall appearance of GUI elements and form controls.

Re: Help with a form
At first I thought the problem was that the "Ciudad" field disappeared... This appeared to me a greater problem than field shadings
Markings for input fields is the default setting for most PDF readers I have used, but normally you can turn it off. In any case the shading will not appear on printed copies of the form.
In Adobe Reader you can adjust the marking of input fields like this:
Menu Edit - Settings or shortcut key ctrl+K. (... or something like that. My install is in Norwegian, so I can't say for sure what the English version would be. I suppose yours is in Spanish.)
See the Forms category (#6 counting from the bottom in my install)
