I am using form fields to create a pop-up text. Basically, I have a button on my PDF page and when the user clicks this button a text appears below the button.
Everythis works fine, except the purple form info bar that shows at the top of the PDF page. It is confusing for the users because this is not a form. How do I get rid of it? Or, is there another way to achieve the same pop-up result?
My form is not a form

A button field is a form field so this is not an error, but Adobe has chosen not to test a form to see if it only has buttons before displaying the form's purple bar.
You can tell all your users to change there application's preference to always hide this bar.

I don't think you can get rid of the of the purple bar.
Another way might be to write a script and to use the app.popUpMenuEx method.
It won't look exactly the same, but it might do the trick.
Is there a sample script that I can use/modify. I am new to scripting. Another way might be to write a script and to use the app.popUpMenuEx method.

You can pass parameters through a PDF Url or Path to show/hide Adobe interface controls, such as messages or toolbars.
See the following file for syntax reference.

You can create a link around the text you want to associate with the pop up. You will need to select the 'Custom' action and then add the necessary JavaScript for the pop-up using the "Run JavaScript" option. No form fields of any kind, so there will be no forms information bar.
Another way might be to write a script and to use the app.popUpMenuEx method.
It won't look exactly the same, but it might do the trick.
