Fillable form PDF no longer showing blue boxes

[Guest]

I use fillable PDFs maybe 5x weekly. A few different forms.

This morning all of my PDFs are no longer showing the blue fillable boxes. Everything is still fillable, but I don't see the boxes at all.

Any ideas on how to get them to return? I already rebooted my computer and did an adobe update.

Thanks!

You can find those settings in Edit>Preferences>Forms

Hi, did you work out how to fix this? I am having the same problem.
The blue boxes appear on my PDF, but when I send to someone they disappear??

All the correct options are selected in preferences, so I'm stuck? Any ideas??

They disappear in your Acrobat Reader?

That's right, when someone opens the PDF the blue boxes are not visible?

The people you send the form to also have to check the settings above in their version of Reader. Those settings are local to the install of Reader.

Right Click on opened PDF doc and select Page Dislpay Preferences>Forms> Highlight Color>check "Show Border hover color for fields"

I want the blue boxes to disappear so I was happy to see Your answer but I don't find the Page Display Preferences. Is it in Acrobat I should be? So thankful for Your help, I've been trying to get the forms clean for a week now...

I fixed it thanks to YOU 🙂

I didn't solved it 😞 It worked just at my computer, the blue squares are still showing as soon as I send it to someone else. Do You have any idea how I can solve that?

Simple. Open a fillable PDF. At the top of your screen click on "Forms" then check "Highlight Fields".
