How to cancel history in the forms?

[jsicotte]

dans les zones que l'on doit changer les réponses du formulaire précédent apparaisse même lorsque le formulaire est envoyé à une tierce personne mais cette personne ne doit pas avoir accès au réponse précédente comment faire pour que le dit formulaire ne garde rien en mémoire

in the areas that one must change the answers of the form previous answers appear even when the form is sent to a third person but this person should not have access to the previous answer how to do so that the said form does not keep anything in memory?

It's probably the Auto Complete feature, but it should definitely not happen when you send the file to a third-person. Are you sure that's happening?

I actually sent it to myself to a different email address to test it and when I put my cursor on a blank field a bunch of previous answers show up

This is available only for your Acrobat, on your session on your computer.

Other users cannot see that.

A possibility to get rid of cached information would be to reset the form when it gets opened.

If it is a single-page form, it is very easy:

In the PageOpen Script, you add the following line of code:

     this.resetForm() ;

and that does it.

If it is a multiple page form, you have to make sure that the reset gets executed only once. For that, you create a document-level script containing just this line of code:

     var loaded = 1 ;

And in the Page Open event of the page at which the document opens, you add this:

     if (loaded > 0) {

     this.resetForm() ;

     loaded -- ;

     }

And that should do it.

I don't believe that's the issue. It had to do with the Auto Complete feature.
