[Scribus] PDF Form Issue

[Dwain Alford]

i have the full version of acrobat 5.  i haven't used reader in years, but
i'll take a stab basing my choices on aa5.

is there a "forms" tab in your preferences.  if there is, is ther a
"highlight form fields" check box.  if there is, check it and you should be
good to go.

hth,
dwain
