Button Image/Text Background Color Changes after Mouse Click in Adobe Acrobat Pro PDF Form

Community Beginner ,

Hi again --

 

This is a follow-up question to my post from last week, Re: Customizing Tooltips in Adobe Acrobat Pro

 

@Tariq Ahmad gave me some great tips on how to customize my tooltips by turning my Adobe Acrobat Pro PDF into a form. As suggested, I created buttons to make my images and text interactive, so that when the user clicks these buttons, a corresponding document opens on our website. 

 

When I click a button, the background color of the images and the text distort (see attached example) briefly and then the corresponding document opens successfully. 

 

I don't want the background color of my images and text to change when the mouse is clicked. 

Are there any button properties I can modify to solve this issue?

 

I've attached my draft form. 

 

Thank you in advance.

That looks like regular selection highlighting, which is currently set to "invert". You can change this on the options tab in the properties dialog for the button.
