Here is a link to a different document with the same issue.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.pdf
When opening the document with Safari, Preview, Firefox, or Chrome, the cursor
is not positioned in any of the input fields. With Safari, when clicking inside
a field, there is a regular text word highlighted in blue. With Preview, no
highlighting. With Chrome, no highlighting. With Firefox, no highlighting.
Can anyone give me the right terminology for the highlighted blue box
associated with the input fields? Is this just a Safari feature?
Both documents works fine on my Windows PC using Acrobat Reader and
Foxit PDF
It even works fine on my iPad using Acrobat and Foxit Mobile.
Thanks,
Craig

Hi,
I'm using Writer to create PDF forms and I'm having some trouble with the text
boxes.
You can see here the document I'm working on [1] and [2]
1. I open the pdf document in Apple Safari. When the cursor is in the name form field, the word
"emeritus" is highlighted in blue. I'd like for the word "name" to be
highlighted.
When the user tabs out of the name field to the id field, the text "emeritus" is still in
blue. I'd like the text "id" to be highlighted in blue instead.
I have not been able to find anything in the form control box that allows me to
change this. How can I do this? (I could not find any answers in online forums,
perhaps because I'm using the wrong terminology)
2. How can I automatically position the cursor in the name field when the
document is opened?
3. The behavior is different if I open the document in Apple Preview. Is it
possible to have the same behavior regardless of which tool opens the document?
Thanks,
Craig
