I wrote a simple context file for pdf form filling. Translates fine, but the resulting pdf simply shows text but no fillable = forms. What’s needed to actually get forms?

 

Here’s the tex code:

 

% = interface=3Den tex=3Dpdfetex output=3Dpdftex

\starttext

Field 1: = \fillinfield[name]{text that defines field length}

\definefield [Email] = [line] [ShortLine] [] [pragma@wxs.nl]

Field 2: \field [Email] = [your email]

\stoptext

 

Thanks!

Bernhard
