I am trying to create a fillable pdf form for my workplace to be able to use. I have turned off the auto-complete option under the preferences settings but when entering data into a field, the remainder of the form is still auto filling. Help!!

Use unique names for the form fields.

If you copy the field, you're also copying the fields name. Then if you have 10 fields all with the same name (e.g., field 1), fill one and you'll fill them all.

 

Best to rename them for what they are. That is give them names that are pertinent to what's going to go into them. For example: "name first," "name last," "street adress," etc. which is more descriptive and easier to troubleshoot than field 1, field 2, field 3, etc.

 

Good luck

I just checked the names of each field and from what I can tell, they're already saved as different field names..

Unfortunately no, due to privacy.
