"Highlight Fields" option disappeared

I have been creating a bunch of editable PDFs (PDF forms) using Acrobat 8 Professional. I simply created a PDF from a Word doc, and, using the Forms Toolbar, inserted text fields, checkboxes, etc - no problem.
When I open any of the PDF forms I created in the first round with Acrobat Reader, I get a purple bar along the top that allows me to toggle a "Highlight Fields" setting.
For some reason, PDF forms I now create no longer have that purple bar along the top. I don't recall changing any settings, but imagine I must have at some point.
Can anyone help?

I've tried creating new PDF forms with a single and multiple (3) text fields.
Also, I don't think it's a setting of Adobe Reader, as users see the purple bar for some PDFs, but not others - without changing settings ...

Highlight Fields Option on Forms

Hi, I have noticed when I place form fields in documents in Acrobat 8 professional, that sometimes it automatically creates an icon at the top left, just above the "Pages" icon, for having the purple bar accross the top of the page with the button to highlight the fields. But sometimes after placing form fields in a document it doesn't enable this option. And even when I look in the "Forms" menu dropdown the option to highlight fields is grayed out. Why does it lock this option off on some files and how can I manage this option? FYI: I don't have the box checked under edit preferences for "Forms" that says "Always hide forms document message bar".
Thanks

Ok thanks that seems to be it. I added two more fields to a file that only had one and it did seem to enable it. Seems odd that Adobe requires at least three before this can be enabled instead of simply if the file has fields or not.

Highlight Fields when PDF is opened - LiveCycle 8

LiveCycle 8
Win XP
Hi,
I'm trying to automatically highlight the form fields on a PDF when it is opened. I want the form to act as though the user has chosen the "Highlight Fields" option/button.
I would prefer a javascript function to fire (on itialize?) so I don't have to attach code to every field and possibly allow me to easily use it on future PDFs.
My current thoughts are to loop through all fields on the form and set the fillColor property to a light blue "221,228,255". Here's the javascript I'm currently trying to use:
for (var i=0; i < xfa.host.numPages; i++){
]var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i,"fields");
]var nodesLength = oFields.length;
]for (var j=0; j< nodesLength; j++){
]]var oItem = oFields.item(j);
]]oItem.fillColor = "221,228,255";
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work. Also, I'm not sure where to put it once it does work so that it fires when the PDF is opened.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
In the File > Form Properties menu opens the dialog window. Go to the Defaults tab and check that the "Save script changes" is set to 'Automatic'. This will make sure that changes to the form from script changes will be saved with the form and honored when the form is reopened.

Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?
The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

How to disable the blue highlight fields around links in a PDF in Adobe Reader 10.2?

I've created a document in InDesign CS5, and when viewed on Adobe Reader 10.2 (on an iPad) all the table of contents links within the document, and all links to external websites have a blue highlight field around them. While I appreciate the fact that it makes it obvious where links are, it looks remarkably ugly to have huge blue highlights all over the document. There must be a way to turn these highlights off, right? Either from the source document within InDesign before the PDF is created, or from within Adobe Reader or Acrobat after the PDF is made? I have all the links within InDesign set to "Invisible Rectangle", and it looks great when viewed on older versions of Adobe Reader or in iBooks. Unfortunately, older versions of Adobe Reader don't support hyperlinks on tablets. So somebody using Reader 10.2, however, is now forced to view this document with ugly blue highlights. Is the only option to avoid the highlights to recommend everyone use iBooks to view the document, or is there a way in Reader 10.2 to disable these?

Might be better to post this in the Acrobat or Indesign forums.

Syntax or Flag to enable automatically "Highlight Fields" in Adobe Reader

Hi all.
I'm searching for a syntax or a flag in LiveCycle Designer that enables you the option "Highlight Fields" automatically in Adobe® Reader® 7+.
Is it possible to do that?
Thank you for your help.
Regards Corsin

"app.runtimeHighlight" holds the value and you may turn on by setting it to 'true' or off by setting it to 'false'.
In my case I set it to off at form:ready event.
if (app.runtimeHighlight == true) app.runtimeHighlight = false;
Good Luck,

Forcing on Highlight Fields upon Open and Saving in Acrobat Reader

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

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.

Acrobat 8, "Highlight Fields" color change

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend trace a random change in the color of form fields when you select highlight fields. Previously it was the same as mine, a light, opaque blue. Now it's changed to a dark gray making text hard to read. The only thing I can guess caused this was an automatic update to Vista. Before the update it was blue, after the reboot the fields are gray. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a fix? I've searched every menu and can't find even an option to change the color. Is there an option in Vista to change the form field colors? Or is this a glitch caused by the update that requires a repair install?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
sasha

? related to the highlighted fields'. When you open a pdf, in the
upper right corner there is a box to check, if you want the fields
to be filled in, highlighted.
Is there a way in the properties to set a default for the page, when
the pdf is opened, that this 'highlight fields' box is always checked.
My user doesn't want to have to check this 'box' each time entering the pdf upon opening.
Thanks for any guidance Lfiacco

Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

Hi All,
How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
Thnaks

Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

InDesign Text Field Options

Hi,
I want to create a variety of text fields in InDesign for an interactive PDF with options such as font, font size, date, numbers only, alignment, etc, options that are all available in Acrobat.
The idea is to create all the text fields in InDesign without the help of Acrobat as we have a lot of forms and we always have a lot of changes in the forms.
Currently, when we have changes in the forms, we have to do them in InDesign, export, and then do all the form fields in Acrobat again, which is a terrible worklflow.
Is there any possibility to do these text field options in InDesign?
Thanks for any help!

Kim

@Steve – I found no time for testing this, but maybe a script by Marijan Tompa (TOMAXXI) could be of great help.

Is it possible to change the colour of the highlighted fields in a form? And if so how?

Hi there,
I would like to know how to change the highlighted fields that show up on a form once it has been designed and PDF'd. I know i can turn it on or off but i would like to just change the colour so it matches our styling of the company.
Is there a way to do this and if so how??? If not thats fine i just need to know if there is a way.
Thanks
Jennah

Hi,
What do you mean by travel? Is that when it wont change all settings across the board? e.g another staff member with adobe acrobat wont have the same settings as i do?
I am the only one creating the forms and using any adobe settings anyway so i guess it wont really matter that they dont have the same settings as i do but its not hard to change them on all pc's anyway.
Thanks though.

Choose fields option in Selection Screen of report program.

Hi Experts,

Highlight Fields as default for PDF Forms

Hello all,
I've recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which get marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users have to click first on "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is there a way to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?
Cheers,
David

The suggested code didn't work for me with Adobe Reader 8.0. However, since I am a novice at this, I may not be adding the code correctly -- can you please tell me if this JavaScript client code for layout:ready is correct or not? I added the code in red. (I am using LiveCycle Designer ES Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496). It seems to be in the right place because if I alter the code to unconditionally set app.runtimeHighlight to false, then when I open up the form with Reader 9.0, the highlighted fields are off.
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.CurrentPage::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue
=xfa.layout.page(this);
// Turn on highlighted fields
if
(!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight
= true;}
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.PageCount::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue
= xfa.layout.pageCount();
// Turn on highlighted fields
if
(!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight
= true;}

Disabling forms/highlight fields in a PDF

Hello, all,
I've created a button-heavy PDF in inDesign and the exported result is giving me some problems. It's prompting the highlight fields/"please fill out the following form" in Acrobat. How, how, how in the WORLD can I get rid of it? There is no form to fill out, only a lot of buttons (some of them within text) and I can't delete them or else I lose interactivity. I just need to force the forms prompt to go away, if possible. Is there a Javascript solution out there?
Thanks so much!

Thanks for replying! I had no idea about the buttons being form fields! The Javascript idea (though I'm crap at it) is a good one for the future, but this project has gotten out of hand as it is.
I think I may have solved the problem, though -- by accident! I need to assign password access to the document for read/write, and it seems to have taken away the dialog box. I can only hope...
Thanks again!

Display the entire path to the term in the field option programmatically

hi,
I am having hundreds of doc libs with a taxonomy column .now i want to change the property diaplay format:
Display the entire path to the term in the field option, programmatically.

but i am stuck with whats the property responsible for this.
help is appreciated!

hi Benjamin,
Please try IsPathRendered Property of the taxonomy field. It is a Boolean field which related to display format of a taxonomy field.
FALSE - Display term label in the field
TRUE - Display entire path of the term in the field
