Look for "Prepare Form" under Tools.

It's not there - I've been using my Adobe app for some time now and that tool button is not there - below are the buttons I have - I'm actually at work now but signed into my personal account & these are the tool buttons on my app when I'm on my laptop at home too

Looks like you might not be using Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Standard and Reader do not have tools for creating forms. Filling and signing forms, yes but creating and editing forms, no.

Acrobat's tool panels (2 of them) look like this:

The tab in the upper left shows all of Acrobat's tools.

The panel on the right shows only those tools you have added to it.

And note the version of Acrobat you're using: it's in the window "bar" at the top, above the menu for Help. This screen capture shows "Adobe Acrobat Pro DC."
