'no colour' option not available when in properties with check, text boxes etc. Mac

I have been preparing forms and creating text boxes, check boxes etc for some time now.

Recently, I am unsure if was a recent update or because I have updated to highSierra on my mac, there is no longer a 'no colour' option available when trying to make these boxes transparent.

I have had to move my file to a PC and do it on a previous version of Acrobat Pro.

I have deleted my plist files to see if that worked (thanks Adobe support) but still no love.

Yes I have also turned my computer on and off again.

I am also running, InDesign, Illustrator and Muse on my mac.

Anyone else come across this?

For everyone still struggling with this issue, I've developed a simple utility that allows you to set a field's fill/border color as transparent, even when this option is not available in the color selection dialog in Acrobat. It can be downloaded for FREE here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Set Field As Transparent (FREE)

A more advanced version of this tool, which allows multiple fields selection as well as editing many other properties, can be found here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Mass Edit Fields Properties
