adobe reader dc - remove form field highlight

Question

I've seen some posts discussing removing the form field highlight individually. What I need is to be able to apply this specific change to a number of XenApp servers so it has to apply to anyone that logs in without that user needing to do anything special.

Is there a config file we can add or a registry key/value we can create/add?

Thanks.

Steve, I've tried setting the color to white, however, this simply hides the text until you select the individual form fields. I am trying to eliminate the background color entirely. Similar to selecting 'no fill'. I think i'm on the right track by just unchecking "Show border hover color for fields" as this seems to accomplish what' i'm trying to do, however, I am still looking for the registry settings that control this menu item as i need to apply that setting across an enterprise.

That check is "bRuntimeHighlight".
