How to make form fields "Clickable"

Hey Guys,
I created a Fillable PDF Form with Form fields using ADOBE Acrobat 9.0 Pro-Ex + LiveCycle Designer for Windows XP.
My question is when you create a form, is there a way to make form fields "clickable" instead of just auto-tab? Because if you mess up when filling out the form, you don't want to have to tab through the whole document just to get back to that spot. How can i fix that?
My other question is, when printing the form, the form field "text boxes" always show up. Is there a way to hide the boxes and just print the form without them. (The information that was filled in will still show, just the outline of the boxes won't?)
Thanks a bunch,
Joseph

Unfortunately I don't know enough about Designer to tell you what you did to make the boxes unclickable, but for me I've never had an issue doing that.
However, I can tell you what you need to do to get rid of the boxes around each of your text fields.
1. In design mode, select the field(s) you wish to get rid of the borders on. (If all you have are text fields, you can press Ctrl+A to select all fields. If not, you can hold down the Ctrl button while left-clicking each field to change all text fields at once.)
2. Open the Object window (Shift+F7 toggles this on and off). Find the option for Appearance.
3. Click the drop down menu next to Appearance and choose none.
4. The borders will now be gone from the text fields.

    Please give your suggestion on this.

    Here you can add the fomatting action on the field to disable the field if those users belong to certain Sharepoint group (does not matter the permission levels though). Hope it helps.

  • How to make form field that will highlight text

    I have a calendar with several lines of text in each days box (yoga classes with class name and time). I need to create an interactive pdf which I can send to my teachers so they can highlight their availability to teach. I would like for them to be able to click on class times and have those times become highlighted. They could then save this form and send back to me. Please help... seems like it should be fairly easy but I've messed around for two days trying to make it happen with no luck!!

    The problem is that form fields don't have an opacity setting, so they're
    not very suitable for highlighting text.
    Your options are to use a form field (like a button) with a transparent
    fill color and a colored border, and then have the border become
    transparent when clicked, or back to the color when clicked again, or you
    could use a combination of an annotation and a button field. The button
    will show/hide the annotation when clicked. The latter will look nicer but
    is more complicated to implement.

    No, LiveCycle Designer is not included in Creative Cloud and is available only for Windows. It was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro before Acrobat 11 but is now a separate program and about $300.

  • How to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents autom.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mukesh Agrawal

    Hi,
    As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
    And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
    So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
    I think this might resolve you issue.

  • How to make a field mandatory in billing

    How to make a field mandatory in billing document,if m right with the help of incomplition log but how.....
         plz reply the full configuration.

    Hi Mohan,
    We normally create a billing document with reference any other document say Order or delivery.
    so, all the necessary information in the invoice will be taken from preceeding doucments. Thats way in the order level we check for incompletion log. If any important data is missing in the order level then the succeding documents will not be created.
    Thats way in the billing documents all the necessary information will come automatically either from preceeding documents or from master data.
    Still you want to make any field mandatory, you can do these by modifieing Billing documents user exists,you can make which ever the fields are mandatory and to be checked before saving. so when you are going to save the invoice, it will check if these fields are maintained or not.
    Hope this is clear.
    Reward if helpful.
    Thanks,
