Getting rid of the blue text boxes in Acrobat Pro DC when using prepare forms tool

New Here ,
Feb 05, 2020 Feb 05, 2020

I've created a Fillable form using prepare form in Acrobat Pro DC and used added text fields and it works well in the preview except that all of the text boxes are blue. I would like my users who are going to fill out the form to not see the blue text boxes; the text boxes should just look transparent (like nothing is there) until they put their cursor in the answer area.

 

Does anyone know how to edit/fix this? I'm not a proficient user of Adobe so I may be making newbie mistake!

 

 

Thanks.

This is awesome! Thank you so much. So this essentially disables the blue highlight field in Adobe preferences for anywone that opens the PDF. Then all they would need to do is check it back on in their preferences which we could send a screen shot on how to do this. This really great. I wish there was a way to have this only affect the document that you add the code to. This will have to work. I hope the marketer will agree to this. I really appreciate your quick response.

If you add the same code but with true instead of false under Set Document Actions - Document Will Close it will reverse it when your file is closed (even if it wasn't saved).

In the Main Acrobat Menu under "Edit - "Form Options" - uncheck the option "Highlight Existing Fields"
