I am currently editing a document that has some fillable text boxes. The problem is that when I fill one, the others fill with the same information. I am trying to get them to stop synchronizing and unsure how to do this.

The fields probably have the same name.  You have to change the field names.

Press Ctrl + Shift + 7 to enter field editing mode.  Double-click the field and change the name in the general tab of the field properties, or select the field, then right-click the field in the field panel and select "rename".
