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!

It is available in Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

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


Was there an answer to this question?  I did not get Edit, Preferences in the document or settings either.  There has to be another way to turn OFF the Fill and Sign.

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
