activate the "Highlight Fields" button by javascript

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

there is the button "Highlight Fields" which is rendered by default by Acrobat Reader below the toolbars and before the pdf content.

When the button is pressed, then each form field gets background color and the selected field has different background color.

Is it possible to activate this field by javascript ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes using the following javascript in the docReady event of the root node:

app.runtime Highlight = true; 

Using false will turn the highligh colour off.

Good luck,

Niall

Omg, hundreds of clicks and copy-pastes has just lost its sense ....

Thank You very much for quick response.

Yes, sorry an extra space...

app.runtimeHighlight = true;

app.runtimeHighlight = false;

Good luck,

Niall
