Create Transparent Text Box in Adobe Forms ? ? ?

[joem32059198]

This seems to be an old issue that remains unresolved. Despite selecting no fill color in the appearnce tab, the default blue remains when the form is actually generated. Furthermore, changing the "Fields highlight color" to white -- which only makes the box SEEM transparent if the background is also white (or colorless) -- this only seems to work on my PC. If I send the template to a target audience, the default blue is still there. Terrible coding job, Adobe!

The blue colour isn't part of the form or the design. It's something Adobe added to their PDF viewer to be helpful. So, good or bad, it's a user preference.

Yeah, I may have gone off prematurely. I'm trying to make a WYSIWYG form for folks to order a brass plaque. without having to "save as" or print. I'll have to do more work--thanks.

Like Test Screen Name indicated earlier it is a user preference , and you are using the correct configuration option.

1. But To achieve what you are asking all you have to do is change to color white; unless the page is in another color, in which case you will have to try and match that color

Now if what you are asking to insert fields with only informational material, where the user will not interact at all with that particular text field just click on properties , tick the box that says Read Only, and optionally lock the field

You can actually turn off the field highlighting via JavaScript. However, that affects all forms, not just yours. Is that acceptable? 

[JR Boulay]

JavaScript allows you to save the User Preference, use your own color in your form, and restore the User Preference to closing the form.

Is this referenced in the SDK guide that you've shared in other threads?
