Issue with fillable text-box colours

[Sander Nijs]

So the problem (see picture):

I added fillable text boxes, so my clients can fill these area's themselve when they open the .pdf. As you can see on the right example, the boxes appear filled with a light grey colour. I think its very ugly, so i want the boxes to be transparant (just the colour of the boxes, not the text obviously). 

So the left example is what i want the file to look like. 

What i tried:

- Had contact with employes, but it looks like they didnt understand the issue.

- Whent to preverences -> forms -> uncheck ''border hover color for fields'' -> does work in acrobat, but doesnt change anything on the actual pdf, its just the previeuw in acrobat that changes. 

- Clicked on -> more -> unchecked ''highlight existing fields''. -> same problem the one above, only changes the previeuw in acrobat, but doesnt change anything in the actual .pdf. (when openen in browser or anywhere else outside of acrobat). 

Anyone has a solution for this?

Hi Sander Nijs

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you wanted the text field to show no fill color

Please open the PDF form and go to Tools > prepare form (This will bring the form in the editing mode), then double click on the text field to open text field properties and under the tab 'Appearance' set the fill color to no color.

Hope it will help

Regards

I did this, but didnt help. It's still grey.

Disable the Fields Highlighting option in the application.

You can make fields 'readonly', then use scripts to make them fillable on focus and again make them readonly on blur.

For On focus;

event.target.readonly = false;

On Blur:

event.target.readonly = true;
