Automatically Added Fields in New Authoring

I cannot find a way to avoid the automatic field detection and placement function in the new authoring format. Fields that I do not want are "detected" and placed. They have to be deleted individually, as there is no multi-select function for fields that have not been assigned to a signer.

 

I can get around this problem by switching to the old authoring format, but that format has less functionality for me, and I suspect it won't always be available anyway.

Try this:

  1. log in to acrobat (acrobat.adobe.com)
  2. click on the very Top Right corner profile icon to get a dropdown.
  3. on the dropdown click on settings
  4. this should open up a popover settings menu
  5. There is a heading "E-signing settings"
    UNCHECK the box that says "Request e-signatures [] Use the latest version of Request e-signatures.
