1. Re: Hiding Field Colors
George_Johnson Mar 7, 2012 8:15 PM (in response to peterpica)You can turn off field highlighting to get rid of the light blue background. This is a user preference that can also be controlled with JavaScript: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.122.html
Are the borders red because the fields are marked as required and they're empty?

4. Re: Hiding Field Colors
peterpica Mar 7, 2012 9:20 PM (in response to George_Johnson)Another question George:
Suppose that my form fields are complete, working fine, etc. Two weeks later, customer wants to make some editorial changes that I can't easily do in Acro Pro. I did the original layout work in InDesign. What's the best way to 'reimport' a revised PDF so that I don't have to do all the field work again?

5. Re: Hiding Field Colors
George_Johnson Mar 7, 2012 9:26 PM (in response to peterpica)All you need to do is generate a new PDF from InDesign and then replace the old pages with pages from the new PDF. Any fields, links, bookmarks, code, etc. will be retained.
To do this in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Replace Pages.
In Acrobat 10, it's: Tools > Pages > Replace

peterpica Mar 10, 2012 8:08 AM (in response to George_Johnson)George... me again.
Is there any way to make the standard checkboxes smaller? I'd like to use linespacing less than 1/4" but cannot do with the standard boxes.
Thanks.

George_Johnson Mar 10, 2012 8:23 PM (in response to peterpica)I'm don't understand the question. What do you mean by standard checkboxes? Ans I don't understand how line spacing figures into it. A screen capture should help.

10. Re: Hiding Field Colors
George_Johnson Mar 11, 2012 9:12 AM (in response to peterpica)You can make check boxes any size you want. Select one of the check boxes with the Select Object tool and you can change the size to what you want. Then select the other check boxes (Ctrl+Click each), right-click on the resized check box, and select "Set Fields to Same Size > Both". You'll then have to move them into their final position, which can be simplified with some of the other right-click options, as well as guides. Guides can be used by showing the rulers (Ctrl+R) and dragging the guides from the rulers.
To set the default check box size that used when you create one with the check box tool while in form editing mode, right-click one that you've made the size you want and select "Use Current Properties as New Defaults".
