Where do I hide the color in form fields in Acrobat DC?

Is there a way to also do this on an iPad or iPhone so that the fields are not highlighted?

This is exactly it ! thanks

I know this thread is marked as answered but I searched the menus and cannot find preferences to change highlighting of the fields.

also think the option to change that colour would be logically found in the field properties - even if it only affects how the form displays on screen.

Also: I would think it was important to mention what settings cause the form to display a certain way on your own device, and what settings guarantee that it shows up the same with any other user.

this may be a doddle to fix for java cracks, but I would have thought these to be basic settings that users without any knowledge of javascript should be able to effect

please help me out of my confusion

The thing that I wanted was to not have the fields be anything other than white when the user went to print the form after filling it out.  The thing that I wanted was solved by using the "Preferences" screen for "Forms" and changing the "Highlight" color to "white".  I outline the fields with a black line so everyone realizes they are there, but I don't want the non-white background when the form is printed.

Thank you all for your very helpful answers.

Many thanks Charlene. Great tip!

Thanks for you answers. Went for the Javascript you suggested George. Thanks a lot.

They removed the purple/green document message bar, which provided the UI for toggling field highlighting. You can create a custom button or menu item that does the same thing by executing the following JavaScript:

// Toggle field highlighting

app.runtimeHighlight = !app.runtimeHighlight;

You can also run this from the JavaScript console (Ctrl+J)
