Text field visibility

[glimmbo]

I'm having an issue where the same set of text fields on a form are only visible once clicked. I've read a lot in the Adobe forums about the issue (a decade worth of complaints). I'm wondering if there's some underlying appearance setting that's affecting these fields..

Has anyone come across this? Any suggestions on where I might look in the PDF tree for the discrepancy?

An example can be seen in the 7th page of this document

I actually think this is related to the underlying text field's dictionary entry, TU which is the alternate or tooltip name being corrupted.. does anyone know how to clear that entry for every field?

Solved by setting the NeedsAppearances directly on the lower level AcroForm
