Hi,
Is there anyway to disable the highlight the existing fields box that appears when the user opens up the PDF.
The client doesn't want the blue field boxes showing when the end user opens the form, I know they only have to click on the "Highlight Existing Fields" box to hide
them, but they don't want this option at all.
thanks in advance

The client doesn't want these fields to show at all so I think I may have to find a script to do this.
thanks

From the Acrobat JSI API Reference:
if (!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
app.runtimeHighlightColor = color.red;
}
So you need to change the test from NOT ("!") change the highlight action to 'false', and and leave the color alone.
But this might not turn if off for the next form he uses. So if he wants it "Off" for all forms, then he needs to modify his application settings.

"!" is the logical NOT operator.
// test for run time highlight being on or true
if (app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight = false; // turn off highlighting
}
// test for run time highlight being on or true
if (app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight = false; // turn off highlighting
}

You put that piece of code in a Document Level script.
Hope this can help.

It is possible to use a document level Java Script to change this property and the highlighting color. But using this method could change the user's preference setting.
