Forcing on Highlight Fields upon Open and Saving in Acrobat Reader

Question

I'm using the Actions panel in the Page Properties to turn on the Highlight Fields when my PDF document is opened using:
if (!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
and this works perfectly, however this document is being viewed mostly in Acrobat Reader. In order to allow my users to save the content in the forms I turned on, "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader".
The first time this new file is opened, the field highlights turn on, however after content is saved to the forms and the document is resaved the Highlight Fields no long turn on when the document is opened.
How can I utilize both of these options even after the file is resaved?
Thanks

Answer 1

It should work better if you add this script as a document-level script, instead of a pageOpen script.
However, keep in mind that you are changing an user's preference setting, which is considered to be not so nice.
Hope this can help.
