Remove images when printing/saving PDF

I have a form PDF with an images in the background: $pdf->Image(...) User is supposed to fill out the form fields and then can save or print the result.

How can I hide the images at this point?

$alt = true doesn't help help me here.

Solution

  • From Example 24

    /*
 * setVisibility() allows to restrict the rendering of some
 * elements to screen or printout. This can be useful, for
 * instance, to put a background image or color that will
 * show on screen but won't print.
 */

// set visibility only for screen
$pdf->setVisibility('screen');

... objects to hide when printing

// restore visibility
$pdf->setVisibility('all');
