Dear ,

From the small experience i got , i have one idea for the pdf thingy .

which is tht when the event is triggered to save as pdf , change the edit state back to editable (so u get the light colors) and after the rules execution set it back to read only .

but for the first issue , i used to face it only if i disable the view then it goes pretty unclear for reading , but using edit state read only , i saw it normal , so i cant help with that no ideas in my mind , but hope someone else does .

Hope it helps!

Regards.

That is a fantastic idea!!! Thanks for the input! Kudos to you!

Thanks,

If this is going to be a common requirement, it might be worth the effort to make a customized copy of the theme that you use and change the style settings for read only to be a darker color that you need. This would address adding extra steps to your various use cases to work around the font color issue which introduces unnecessary complexity to your projects which will become more burdensome over time.

As a quick start, here are some references on custom theming in smart forms:
