Text cursor width does not take effect in Reader

Avatar

Level 1

I have a LiveCycle Designer PDF form that has fillable fields.

I wanted to increase the size of the text cursor so when a user tabs through the form the new text cursor size is displayed in the field.

Under Windows XP, there is a Display Accessibility option that allows you to increase the width of the text cursor.  I tried setting the text cursor size from here and it takes effect for every application (IE, Word, etc) except Reader, which still displays the I-beam cursor.

Is there any way to increase the text cursor size in Reader?

I think we can't tweek this option in Reader.

Anyway, i have prepared a sample for you to highlight the fields on demand..

Just have a look at it if it's seems to be worthy.

Thanks for the possible solution.

Unfortunately, I tried something similar by changing the fill color of the field and neither solution works on the actual forms I'm using due most likely to the layout or properties of the fields.
