I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to fill and sign a PDF form that I created. I use this same form for about 80 clients and quite a bit of the text I type is similar from file to file. It use to remember previous text I'd typed and prompt me with a drop down list of text that I could select for an autofill. Now it's not doing that. How can I get this feature reactivated?

Thanks.

Edit - Preferences - Forms, change Auto-Complete from Off to one of the other options.

I tried the Preferences thing and it seemed to work, then seemed to stop.

I just went back in and Unchecked "Remember Numerical Data" and it seems to be working now for text, but not numbers.

May decide to reinstall and see if that helps.

Same thing happened to me. Tried the Edit preferrences tip. It was already set to allow it to auto fill. Quite frustrating. This happened twice. Any help is appreciated.

It started working again and was fine for several weeks. Then yesterday fill and sign stopped working again and none of my saved words would show up. I've been using it for years and have taught others how to use it so I'm no newbie, fill and sign just sporadically stops working! Come on Adobe, fix your product!!!!
