I need a color image appear when a user views the form in Lotus Notes. I need a black and white version of the same image to appear when the form is being printed.

Is this possible ?

This is (as you probably already have found out) not possible using the standard hide/when options, because you can not only hide when printed.

Instead you should create a print friendly version of the form and create a button that opens the document with the print friendly form when the document must be printed. Have a look at the @Command( [SwitchForm] ; formName ) Formula command for simple form switching.

  • Actually, in 8.5 I believe you can hide when printed. I am testing it right now. – Richard Schwartz Jul 03 '12 at 17:59
  • Ah... but the problem is that you can't hide only when reading. As soon as you click the hide-when-reading box, the hide-when-printing box is also selected. – Richard Schwartz Jul 03 '12 at 18:01
  • Exactly, Richard. Using the hide/when properties was my initial idea on how to solve it (until I saw that you can not just select When Printed). – Per Henrik Lausten Jul 03 '12 at 18:48
  • You would think that with the proliferation of at-IsDocBeing's that they would eventually include at-IsDocBeingPrinted, right? – David Navarre Jul 03 '12 at 18:59
  • I was hoping for a miracle : ) I also looked for @IsBeingPrinted and didn't find anything. This definitely should be added. – Michael W Jul 03 '12 at 19:28
