I am a volunteer for a large charitable organization. We have
about a dozen ladies who turn pdf files into writable and savable pdf forms.

Most of the pdf forms have simple text fields... either one line
long, or sometimes a large text "area" that multiple lines of
data can be typed into.

These pdf forms are then put up on a "Members' Only" website
for other ladies to download and fill in.

I just spotted one form that had been uploaded, that the first
field (large area for multiple lines of input) was one huge
BLACK field.

We are using Adobe Professional v9 to create these forms and
turn into writable and savable forms.

When I spotted the form, I gave the url to another volunteer,
to see if she was seeing the same thing I saw. She has both
version 7 and version 9 on her computer. She did *NOT* see
the field present itself in black, in version 7, but when she
looked at it in version 9, she saw what I was seeing.

Does anyone know what causes this, and how we can prevent
it? It doesn't happen very often - it seems to sometimes "just
happen".

Thank you,
