Removing Editable Form Fields from E-Signature

I created form fields to fill out the information on the form. I filled out the information and just need to send it for signature.

Once I go to send it for e-signature, it automatically creates new form fields to be filled. It created new boxes over my filled-in information that I cannot delete or edit.

How can I stop E-sign from automatically creating a box over my content?

A year later and this "beta" version is now the official version and doesnt work properly. Same issue persists where it adds random text boxes that are not removable in the E-Sign/Request Signature mode.

Strange isn't it. That the backlash against the new UX is universal amoung those that actually use it, and not only haven't the obvious errors been fixed, but there has been no move to make any real changes. There is something going on here with Acrobat development. I'm quite anxious to see where this goes.

As Thom said you must revert to the Classic UI: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/acrobat-2023-how-to-revert-to-classic-gui-user-interface/td-p/14052807
Consider the "new Acrobat" as a beta version, many features are still missing or half-implemented.

I'm having this isxue when using a PDF without form boxes, except it doesn't allow me to remove the random e-signature fields it creates. I just want it to not add them at all and let me put them in myself. Before this awful update, is was much simpler, now every single preference and/or setting id buried and unfindable.
