PDF text blocks are overlaid with a blue box so I cannot see the text unless I click on it. Why?

I have opened a PDF form and although I have filled it in, the text boxes are now blocked out with a blue block. Only when I click on each block can I see the text below, but the others are still blocked out.

I also cannot open Mac Preview created PDF's.

My view of Adobe has plummeted...the website help is useless.

Can you post a screen shot that demonstrates this blue block?

Regarding the Preview created PDFs, exactly what happens when you try? Can you open them in Preview?

Hi George

Screenshot attached. The blue blocks are the highlighted text recognition but I can’t see the text that is in them…only when I click on them as in the ‘Works” text block as shown.
