Distributing a new Form - Text Boxes are Live Comments Adobe Pro X

Hi, Hopefully I have a simple process question.

 

I have a brand new 4 page form I made in Adobe Pro X.

The form works perfectly in Pro X.

When I run "Distrubute Form" and then open it up with Adobe Reader, all of the Text Box Labels that I used show up as live Comments that the reader can select and move around the screen.
How do I keep my Text Box Labels from becoming Comments?

Correct answer Bernd Alheit

The typewriter tool adds comments to the documents. Use form text fields for the labels and set the fields as read-only.

Content, Edit Text & Objects, Add or Edit Text Box

 

It comes up with a typewrite tool that creates a text label.

I used this method for creating the text labels.

Is there a step needed to flatten the text before Distribution?
