Probably the silliest question....How do you clear a form in Acrobat DC. I spent an hour looking. I do not want to use a reset button.

I'd say it's a failure of the form designer/creator, not Reader.

You can now add a "Clear Form" command to Reader using this (free) tool I've developed, and not be dependent on the form author to do it for you: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Reader -- Clear Form (FREE)

Thank you! This should be marked as the correct answer and not the condescending reply from George_Johnson.

You can add the Form Edit command through "Create Custom Tool" under the Tools menu in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
or download the "Form Edit.aaui" file from the below link and double click on it, it will add the "More Form Option" button on the top menu, click on it and choose "clear form"

This question was about Reader, not Acrobat. Your solutions won't work there.

Hi everyone,

 

While on the subject of clearing fields on a form, i was wondering if theres also a way, to lets say, via mouse drag, to select a cluster of fields for example and then just clear those ones and leaving the other ones alone????

 

Out of 20 fields, if you select 5 with the mouse drag feature, could you then delete them and only them?? im using Acrobat Reader DC.  

 

Thx 

PAt
