In relation to this question, I just discovered, that the official Adobe Reader doesn't display TextFields, which have the flag borderstyle=U set.

Minimal example:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[hidelinks]hyperref

begindocument

beginForm
 TextField[width=0.98linewidth,bordercolor=0 0 0,charsize=0pt,borderstyle=U]\
endForm

enddocument

Display as expected in evince, not at all in Adobe Reader (Windows 10).

Any ideas?

PS: Exact version is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Version 2018.009.20044.
PPS: Also tested in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Version 2015.006.30033

The problem is not caused by the borderstyle, it is the empty field name. A text field without name is dropped by Adobe Reader, so you either have to use

documentclassarticle
usepackage[hidelinks]hyperref

begindocument

beginForm
 TextField[width=0.98linewidth,bordercolor=0 0 0,charsize=0pt,borderstyle=U]Some name\% <-- Insert a nice name here, it will be printed next to the field
endForm
enddocument

or, if you do not want the fieldname to be shown next to the field, use the name= option:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[hidelinks]hyperref

begindocument

beginForm
 TextField[name=SOME_UNIQUE_NAME,width=0.98linewidth,bordercolor=0 0 0,charsize=0pt,borderstyle=U]\
endForm

enddocument

  Thanks. The solution with setting a name is really convenient. It works except in ”Preview“ on MacOS 10.9.5. I haven't had a chance to test more recent MacOS versions yet.
