Heya, I have a question about changing the click color of a text field in an interactive PDF.  After export, when I go to fill it out, I click into the text box and it turns light red. Is there a way to change this color?

Thank you!

Correct answer HustleFairy

Thank you! I was able to get the text and the text field background to my preferred colors through Indesign. I was just looking for a way to change the color the background of the text box turns when you click it in the finished product, since I didn't know it was going to turn red when selected. I could see that not being an option, though. 


Thank you for your response!

You can change the colour of the text that's entered in a field in Acrobat Pro (and the size, font and alignment). I don't think you can do a roll-over change of colour.

    How did you do it in Indesign?
