Highlight fields button disappeared

I tried to search the designer forum before asking this question, ...

When I preview an xdp form in Designer, the "Highlight fields" button displays very quickly and then disappears.  How do I get it to display full time?

Thanks,

Elaine

I don't have Acrobat 8 handy but in Reader 8 the same setting applies in the Forms section. Oops my mistake it is under Forms in 9 as well. I should have said Forms and not General....sorry!

When you preview you are using an ActiveX control inside of a browser control. So default menu settings are different. Are you asking for the toggle fields button on the menu to be there or the highlighting of the fields?

Hey Paul,

No, none of the above.  I'm just previewing in Designer, and I have acrobat pro v8 loaded so the preview launches that, right?  It just pops up and disappears lightning fast.  It's happening to my coworker too...

curious,

There is a setting in the preferences for that bar. Open Acrobat, under Edit/Preferences/General - check the "Always hide forms document message bar" setting (make sure you kill all acrobat processes in your task manager) - or there is a javascript command to toggle the highlighting (like the button does).....but you would have to add that to each form.

Thanks Paul, but I don't see that option in Acrobat 8 Pro.
