Barcode properties in the Field tab

Presence

Controls whether an object is displayed in a PDF form when users view the form in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, or when users print the form:

•

Visible

The object is visible on-screen, visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout. Visible is the default presence setting for all objects.

•	Visible (Screen Only)

The object is visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form when printed from within Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and occupies space in the form layout.

•	Visible (Print Only)

The object is not visible on-screen, visible in the printed form (when printed from within Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or directly from the server), and occupies space in the form layout.

•

Invisible

The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout.

•	Hidden (Exclude from Layout)

The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form, and does not occupy any space in the form layout.

•	One-sided Printing Only

The object is only printed when using single-sided printing.
