removing form field numbering

What do you mean by "Field Numbers"? Do you mean the entered data. To do this you reset the form. Or, on the forms menu there should be a "Clear Form" option. I'm not exactly sure because I don't have Standard, but look in the Acrobat Help for Resetting the form.

this is a screenshot of the issue. If you look at the picture you can see that each field that the user can edit is numbered. I know there is an option to remove that but i can't for the life of me remember how to do it. The main problem is that even when printing the document those numbers show up.

You've got me. Have you tried opening this PDF in Reader or another version of Acrobat? Have you looked throught the Acrobat Preferences. Can you post this document somewhere it can be downloaded, like www.acrobat.com?

I can open this document on my computer without issue and no numbering. we both use the same version of acrobat. I cannot find this setting anywhere.

These particular numbers denote the reading order for accessibility for your form. I'm not sure where the exact command is for this in Acrobat 7 but this is the reason you're seeing these numbers on your form.

Thanks Lori, Armed with this info I was able to show these numbers on fields in Acrobat 7. However, the numbers would only show under certian circumstances.

1. When the fields were tagged for accessibility And
2. When the Order Panel was visible And
3. When the "Show Page Content Order" was checked. In the pulldown menu in the Order Panel

John, if your setup is constantly showing the numbers I'd say that there is probably a problem with your installation of Acrobat. To get Acrobat to stop showing the numbers I'd suggest changing the Accessibility/Order options.
