I have a paid subscription that includes Adobe Acrobat DC Pro. I am on the desktop app and do not have access to the "Prepare Form" tool. Overall, these are the only tools I have:

Thanks for that tip. When I click on "Adobe Acrobat DC" to open the program, it opens, but says "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" at the top left. I even tried uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader. Once I uninstalled it, when I open "Acrobat Pro," it still says "Adobe Acrobat Reader" in the top left and I have no option to "Prepare Form"
