I had to move to a new computer. Is there any way to move the auto-complete file from my old computer to the new computer? I have a lot of data in that file and it would be very useful.

May be that this info is not saved in a file.

Hi @Janet_Hilton 

 

Hope you are doing well.

Sorry, could you please elaborate on the Auto-complete file? Is it a .pdf file created from/within Adobe Acrobat DC?

The best way of moving data from one computer to another is to save/upload your file to the Cloud storage. Like, Document Cloud, Gdrive, OneDrive, etc.

Other than that, there's only a manual way of doing it.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha

Akanchha - Thank you for your response.  In Acrobat, if you go to the Edit menu and select Preferences and click on Forms. At the bottom of the page there is a link to "Form Tracker Preferences" if you click on it you will see a list of words that are typed into forms when you use Acrobat. I have several forms that I use many times daily where I have to type the same words over and over. It would be nice to just transfer this from my old computer to my new computer. There are probably 1000's of words saved in there from the last 6 years (since the last time I got a new computer).
