How to remove fillable text field highlight

[Miro9876543210]

Greetings to all,

For more than a week I am struggling with removing text field highlight for fillable pdf. I want the file to be delivered to my colleagues clean and free of this obtrusive, design distorting blueish rectangle.

How am I creating this forms: File/Create/Create form...  and then I go with "add a text field". I define font, size, etc. Then I save it with different name. Then the file is received by my colleagues who are opening it in a simple free version of Acrobat where they edit it and send it to whom they need to.

Please have a look at the screenshot.

Thanks for any advice.

The form field highlight box is a user preference that is set your colleagues computer. It's found under Edit > Preferences > Forms.

You can turn this off using a document level JavaScript, but it's really not a good idea because it will affect all other forms opened on that particular computer.
