Is it possible for Adobe Reader 7.0.9 to detect a hyperlink from a completed form/text field? The field is being completed by a customer filling out the form.

My Product Information:

No sure what you mean by detection? If a hyperlink exists on a page, Reader can click the link like you can do in Acrobat. If you mean can Reader highlight links, then no. The highlight would have to be scripted.

Form fields however can be highlighted by having the user click the Highlight Fields button at the top of the Document pane.
