Question

How do I turn off suggestions from previously written words when filling out a form?

Whenever I fill out a form in Acrobat Reader DC, it suggests me words or even parts of sentences I have written previously in different PDF documents. Is there a way to turn this off?

I have already disabled suggestions from the dictionary, but I don't want any suggestions at all.

 

I am using Acrobat Reader DC Version 2020.006.20034 on Windows 10 if relevant.

 

Any help appreciated!

You can disable this in the preferences of Acrobat Reader.

I switched off "Auto-Complete" under "Forms" now but unfortunately the suggestions still appear. I've found some discussions about clearing them in the account setting, but we deploy Acrobat internally and do not have a accounts for each user. Is there a way to clear these in the progam itself?

 

Thanks!

Does you use Fill & Sign?
