I used Adobe acrobat to created the fillable PDF form, my friend opened it and can filled regularly but, the field still show after save (I already unchecked 'Highlight Existing Fields' and mine doesn't show any field but still can type the text)

PS. My friend use Adobe Reader program and she need to send it to others as an E-invitation card that no need to show the field or can edit anything.

I used Mac, My friend is window

Thank you in advance

"Highlight existing fields" is YOUR preference. It's not a part of the PDF. So it will have no effect on how others see the form. (Nothing you can do will affect that; what is the problem you are trying to fix?)

That's not entirely true. It's possible to embed a script in the file that will disable this setting when the file is opened.
However, that might not be such a good idea as it will also influence other files opened on that machine, not just yours.
