print user text in fields

[Ed L. Cashin]

Hi.  I'm now (re)reading the uptodate-1 document.  I notice that when
I type some text into the text fields and then print, the text I
entered does not show up in the printed version.  Is that a Acrobat
Reader thing or a ConTeXt thing?

There are some departments on campus who use HTML forms on the web as
static forms.  They enter text into the HTML fields and then instead
of submitting the form, they just print it.  It's not a very reliable
way to do things, but they do it.  Could the same be done in
ConTeXt-generated pdf documents?

The field options are: 

  readonly
  required
  protected
  sorted
  unavailable
  hidden
  printable

like: 

option=readonly

option={printable,required}
