I have a form we fill out for work constantly. I fill it out, print it, and then close the file and hit do not save. Next time I open that file, it is still filled out even though I hit do not save. If i close the file again and open back up it is cleared out. Is there a setting that im missing somewhere? Super annoying to have to close the file twice each time i want to clear it out.

You probably have the Auto Save option selected. Go to Menu - Preferences - Documents and look for "Automatically save document changes to temporary file after X minutes". If enabled, disable it. However, it should only do so to a temp file, not the actual original, so it's quite strange...

This was my first thought too, but unfortunately it is already disabled.

Did you maybe install a script file that allows silent saving at any point? If not, this should not be possible.

Are you sure you're not saving the file when printing it?

I have not installed any scripts that allow saving. The confusing part is that if I open the file and then immediately close it again, the file returns to its original state. 

 

Thanks!
