PDF Form and Overlay

PDF Form and Overlay

[Haseloff, Lutz]

Hi Hans, Hi all,

I tried to use a PDF Form as an Overlay.
Unfortunately all interaction capabilities of the form was lost.
Is there any way to change this?

Greetings

Lutz

The next file works ok here: 

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\definefield[one][line][][][]
\definefield[two][line][][][]

\defineoverlay[one][{\field[one]}]
\defineoverlay[two][{\field[two]}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=two]

\starttext

\framed[background=one]{IT WORKS}

\stoptext

If you use text (!) backgounds that change per page, beware of the fact
that when you only change the overlay definition, you should say:
\setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] to force the background to be calculated
each page, otherwise it's shared. The page backgrounds are calculated per
page by default, text backgrounds only when they change.
