Hello,

Is it possible to make the fill in boxes visible in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC? I have created a fill in form but the fill in boxes only show if the file is opened in Adobe acrobat Reader; however, most of the people in my organization use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC as their default pdf software.

How do I make the fill in boxes visible in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC as well not just Reader?

The attached picture shows the form opened in Reader. I want it to look like that in Pro DC as well.

Thank you very muhc!

A follow up question to this: Is it possible to set the preference and lock it so that the form shows borders for every individual? When I send the form to some coworkers they are not able to see the borders. It looks like each individual person neeeds to go to preference and check the "show border hover color for fields". Is it possible for me to check the preference box and lock it so that each individual doesn't have to go to preferences themselves and check it?

The preferences of Adobe Acrobat are not part of the PDF file.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat forum so that proper help can be offered.
