Fillable Form: How to make instructions on the form visible

Question

I have a fillable form that has instructions on several pages to aid the user on filling out the form. I want the user to see those instructions before filing out the text box below the instructions.  As I have it now, "tabbing" from one box to the next skips right over the instructions; if you know they are there, you can scroll up and see them, but most users of this form will not be familiar with it and will not know to do that.  The instructions will print when the user prints the form, but that is too late, of course! I tried adding a field on top of the instructions, and saying it was read only, but that is not working; maybe I am missing a step on that? Is there a way to make the instructions visible?

You can create a document level script to go to the instruction page or show show the instruction page layer. Also you could add button to jump to the instruction page or open the instruction page layer.

Maybe use something like this, instead: Is there a way to add instructional text to my text field that will disappear when clicked? (PDF Forms)
