I made a PDF added text fields, as well as dropdown lists, and after closing and reopening the PDF I am unable to Fill out anything in the text fields. They are visible in "Edit Mode" but do not show in "Preview Mode". The "Dropdown Lists" does not have the dropdown botton as well. I can't seem to find a solution for this.

Since highlight is a user preference and not a document setting you should at least put a stroke color to your fields, or even a background color, to anticipate this.

In the preferences of Adobe Acrobat enable the field highlighting.
