Hello, I am a newbie. I have developed a PDF data fillable document that is to be typed filled with data and printed. What do I need to do set PDF on a website?
How do I remove the blue highlight in textboxes?
 
What PDF preferences and security setting I should turn on to display PDF on website.
 
If there is anything that I need to set up for displaying a PDF Reader data fillable form on a website - please inform me on what I should do?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, Windows

All you need to do is copy it to a location on the web site and link to it as you would any other file.

For security, use whatever you want, as long as you don't restrict form filling. You are not required to use security.

The field highlighting is controlled by the user, but you can also turn it off with the following JavaScript:

  1. // Turn off field highlighting
  2. app.runtimeHighlight = false;
You can place this in a document-level JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts) outside of a function.
