    How to turn off Highlight Existing Fields

      Hi,

       

      I am making a PDF with Radio Buttons, with an image background, and when I display the PDF in Acrobat Pro X it looks fine. I have switched off Highlight Existing Fields in the Form menu. But when I open the document on another computer, large grey boxes are shown around the Radio Buttons. Does Acrobat automatically switch on Highlight Existing Fields?

       

      How can I export the PDF so that on other computers the grey boxes are not shown??

       

      Thanks very much for your help!

       

      Fabian

          This is a setting of the application, not of the document.

          You can switch it off by going to Edit - Prefs. - Forms, and tick off "Show

          border hover color for fields".

           

          It is also possible to switch this setting off using a script, but I would

          advise against doing that because this would affect not just your file but

          all the files opened on the user's computer. If you want to implement it

          you should at least inform the user of the change and preferably get their

          confirmation to doing so.

              I saved a copy of PDF, which is I developed via LC. In that saved copy I did as MENU -- EDIT -- PREFERENCES -- Disabled the chk box. Then, I opened the another form on browser, but, still button is turn ON by default

               

              Pls. guide me where I have to do this setting, is it when I am developing my_form in LC or opening any PDF on my desktop & do setting on this PDF?

              Pls. let me know where I hv to to do this seetings?

               

               

               

              Thank you
