Acrobat 7 Pro Filled Rectangle background with Text Foreground?

[zenenigma]

I've got a document/form that was given to me in 5.0 format. It has labels and text fields throughout. It has 3 yellow (page-wide)rectangles in different parts of the page, depicting section titles.

I open it in Acrobat 7 Pro (Designer made the form unusable by ActivePDF, so I avoided it). I have everything tagged the way I want it, and I look at the form, and for some reason the subject title text that was on top of the yellow is now gone.

Examining closer, it's not gone, but it's behind the yellow rectangle. I move the rectangle, move the text, put the rectangle back, and try to put the text back on top of it. No luck.

I can't find any "move to back" or "move to front" options. I don't want to mess with Opacity, because the customer says that it must be bright yellow. And I haven't found an easy way of adding a new label after deleting the current un-visible one.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How were the yellow rectangles created? In Acrobat as a comment, or in the original program before converted to a PDF?

One way to get around it would be to create a new text field, place the Title in the default value, and make it read only.

It will show to the user, but not allow them to edit.

One word of caution - if the yellow rectangles are comments in the PDF, they may not always show in the printed version - the default setting varies from version to version. Just FYI.

Hope this helps.
