How to get rid of blue background for editable text fields?

[Former Community Member]

Hi



I have created an interactive form by importing it from MS Word. There are a lot of editable text fields, they are highlighted by a blue background automatically created by Lifecycle Designer.



How can I stop this? Is it possible to configure this feature? I have already tried to set the color manually using "fillcolor", but the result is a mixture of the new color and the default blue.



I have one text field inside a form which will only be shown when the user clicks on a button. However, the blue background can be seen even before this happens (meaning there is a single lost blue box in the middle of nowhere). Of course this does look especially awkwardly.



Any ideas on this? I would really appreciate your help?

thanks a lot in advance and kind regards

Bettina:

Do you see the color in Designer, or only Acrobat. If it's only in Acrobat, try changing the menu item Forms >> Highlight Fields. This toggles entry field highlights on and off.

You can shut off or change the highlight with this



app.runtimeHighlightColor = color.red;



if (app.runtimeHighlight)

{

app.runtimeHighlight = false;

}
