Please help - I was working on a form. Now in all forms adobe inserts a comment everytime I tab. How do I stop this? A couple of weeks ago Forms wanted e-signatures - now this. Are there any viable options besides Adobe? 

 

Thank you

    Hi @MaryMcKH 

    Sorry to hear that you are facing issues in using forms in Adobe Acrobat.

    We are aware of the issue and this will be fixed in the upcoming release.

    Meanwhile as a workaround you can create the below registry

     

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown\bReplaceOnKeyDown=0

     

    Steps

    1. Close Acrobat if its already open
    2. Open registry editor
    3. Traverse to the path : Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC
    4. Create new key with name FeatureLockDown
    5. Inside this key create a new DWORD(32 bit) with name bReplaceOnKeyDown and set its Value to 0
    6. Close Registry editor and relaunch Acrobat

    I have the same problem with "TAB". Every time when I want to navigate to hyperlinks, I ad comment. I can only use short cut "Shift + TAB" but my screen reader (NVDA) stoped read hyperlinks. NVDA only read hyperlinks when I use NVDA's shortcut (letter "K"). It is big acessebility problem! Please Adobe, tell me when Your company reapir this bug.

      I'm having the same problem -- every time I tab Adobe adds a comment making it impossible to tab through a fillable form. Help please Adobe !!
