Regarding this answer, where can you turn this off, I cannot find Edit, Preferences, etc in the document or settings.  Please help.

Have a great day!

No, it's not. I'm up to date, and that is not an option.

This does not actually turn off Auto Complete!   you have to delete  the acrobat_fss_signature_initial**  files as this user suggested: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/turn-off-all-autocomplete-and-autosuggestions-in-fill-amp-sign-mode/m-p/14413161
