I ran the code using both "Named Insured" and "Medical Payments".
It took me some time to figure out what you meant by saying they have the green border. Finally, I open the processed PDF _directly_ using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.11 and I DO SEE the green borders. But the problem is apparently in the display via Firefox that automatically opens to view PDFs processed by the web app I am working on. It does not display the green borders. Since Adobe Acrobat has a plug-in installed in my Firefox, I would assume that they should display the same. Digging deeper, there is software installed on my workstation called Bullzip PDF Printer that Firefox is using in lieu of Acrobat. Problem solved.

I ask because two fields do have a green border, the field below "Insured:" (fieldname "Named Insured") and the one near "Medical Payments" (field name: "MedicalPayments").
