how to reveal a field when i hover over it then hide it when i remove the cursor

[soot26370632ta2t]

hi,

i am a teacher and i want to create a field which hides itself and reveals the text below it but when i hover away it  hides it again. That will be super useful to test my students. I have been trying to figure out a way.

can anyone please help.

Hi @soot26370632ta2t 

Thanks for reaching out.

Are you willing to hide the entire form field content file only? Also, 

Check this custom script, which might help for the same requirement https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/pdf-forms-pop-to-show-correct-result-when-hover-t... Or the form fields inbuilt property Tooltip. 

Right-click on a form filed> Properties>General> Tootip

Also, you can also set the form filed common properties as its visibility under Properties>General

Thanks,

Akanchha

Use the Mouse Enter and Mouse Exit events to change background color of the field between a solid color and transparent. Actually hiding the field will keep the field from recieving the trigger events.  

For Mouse Enter to hide the field use this JavaScript code:

event.target.fillColor = ["T"];

For the Mouse Exit to show the field use this JavaScript code:

event.target.fillColor = color.white;

how can i make these javascript properties default for all new fields instead of setting it up manually everytime..even if i set "use current properties as new default"..javascript properites are not copied

thank you
