Word merge field highlighted gray when exporting to pdf

Hi,
I have a merge field included in my word document, when I convert it to PDF using Aspose.Words the field is highlighed gray. How can I get it to not be gray, rather white. Is there a way to programatically set this property in the API? Attached is an example of the pdf. I have tried the
ShadeFormData = false
but had no success.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your request. Could you please also attach your Word document here for testing? I will investigate the issue and provide you more information.
Best regards.

Hi,

in the sample document the Attribute WordDocument.ShadeFormDate= false shows no effect when exported to pdf - all merge fields are shaded gray.

An example word document and example project are included as attachments.
=========== Environment ========================
Windows XP SP 3(German version)
Visual Studio 2008 SP 1 (German version)
Dotnet Framework 2.0
Aspose.Word: Version 8.1.0.0
MS Word 2007 (German version)

=========== Example code =======================
=== Example Project ================

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Rendering;

namespace WordTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Aspose.Words.Document currDoc = new Aspose.Words.Document("Example_Document.doc", LoadFormat.Doc, null);

            currDoc.ShadeFormData = false; // Sonst werden MailMerge Felder mit Grau schattiert
            currDoc.SaveOptions.PdfExportFormFieldsAsText = true; // MailMergeFiels als Text in PDF einbetten, nicht als PDF Formularfeld

            PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
            pdfOptions.Compliance = PdfCompliance.PdfA1b;
            pdfOptions.ExpandedOutlineLevels = 0;
            pdfOptions.BookmarksOutlineLevel = 0;
            pdfOptions.HeadingsOutlineLevels = 3;

            currDoc.SaveToPdf(0, currDoc.PageCount, "Example_Document.pdf", pdfOptions);

        }
    }
}

I included an example document with posting
