Hi there,

 

I have Adobe Acrobat DC on both my laptop and desktop. Both linked via my creative cloud account.

 

On my laptop i have the prepare form option and on my desktop its far more limited. 

 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

It's incredibly easy for one to be looking at Reader and think it's Acrobat!  I know it's ultra simplistic, and a very basic thing, but it has happened to me many times over many years.  Might be worth a check.  Many of us have both programs installed.

Technically, Reader IS Acrobat--it's called Adobe Acrobat Reader. Of course, that makes it more confusing. 

I don't believe the latest version of DC allows both Pro and Reader to be installed. (Working from memory here so not 100% sure.)

David - At my work computer curr3ently, and I have both Reader and Acrobat Pro DC installed:

IT handles updates/versioning, so not sure if these are the latest versions - will check my home machine when I get there.

Please show a screen shot from your desktop with the whole Acrobat window and the options you see.
