Is there a way to disable tooltip on mouseover in Adobe interactive form?

[Former Member]

Hello

I have designed a form with a couple of fields. When I draw the mouse over a field in the form in PDF Preview, a small text is shown (tooltip?). How can I disable this? The problem is that it is showing the name of the field variable and not a helpful description.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

Hi Bettina,

Select the field you want to change the tooltip for.

Go to Accessibility Palette.

Specify the text you want to use in the tooltip box.

Set screen reader preference to Tooltip.

Hi Reema,

I followed your advice and everything was working fine except for the fields of type URL. In fact there are three fields for one URL: URLfield, URLButton and an image. I set the accessibility to tooltio, but it is showing the URL, which looks very cryptic and technical.

How can I set the tooltip for URL fields?

Kind regards

Bettina,

This is possible too. For URLField and URLButton do as follows:-

1. Goto the Accesibility Palette --> Select the Screen Reader Preference to Custom Text

2. Enter the Custom Screen Reader Text in the textbox as you like.

3. Save and preview your changes.

Also instead of Image use Image Field from Standard Library, keep the caption as blank and repeat steps mentioned above.
