When Reader 9 starts up, by default it clicks the �Highlight Fields� toggle button. In Reader 8, this was unchecked by default.

In general, this is a good thing. It makes it much more obvious to end-users which documents are fillable/editable PDFs, and which are plain PDFs that can only be printed.

However, in some cases, where your user-base is already expecting fillable forms, this means that all your carefully color-coordinated forms now don�t look as good on startup.

Another issue is when you have required fields, which show up with red borders - apart from looking a bit garish, our usability testing has indicated that it can make new users freak out, thinking they�ve already made a mistake before they�ve even done anything.

This is compounded if you have fields with caption above the field, which in Reader 9 is rendering as two red borders.

There is a very simple way to preserve the Reader 8 behavior. Here's how:
