I'm using Scribus 1.3.3.13 for windows and I'm trying to make a borderless pdf text field but I can't figure out how to do it.
Here are the steps I've taken:
- Created a blank document
- Added a pdf text field
- Opened the text field's properties
- Selected Colors
- Clicked the Line button
- Selected None from the list of colors
I thought this would make the border for the text field disappear but when I create a pdf and open it in Adobe Reader the border is still there. A friend of mine has the full Acrobat and was able to do this without any problems so I know its supported by the pdf format. Is this a bug in Scribus, a bug in Adobe Reader or am I missing a step.

Right-click the text field to bring up the context menu and select the following:
The Field Properties dialog will appear.
In the Appearance tab change the Color of Border to None.
Click OK and save/export as PDF.
Now when you view as PDF it will not show the border for the text field.
