Adobe Form Field Recognition - autofill problem - is answer simple?

Here's the problem I need to find the answer to (I'm new to my job and have been asked to figure this out if I can - using Windows, and Adobe Acrobat Profession 8.0):

We create Adobe questionnaires for our clients to fill out, but our clients have been having problems with our forms, in the autofill category.

When adobe applies the form field recognition technology to permit a field to be edited, it assigns a "name" to that field. If any subsequent field has text that is the same as a prior field, that precedes both fields, then the subsequent blank will receive the same name as the prior blank. This creates our problem:

If the recipient we send our form to fills out the first blank with an answer, then the answer gets copied automatically into the second field. This is bad.

Many questions in our questionnaires have text that precedes each blank that is identical from blank to blank. But, each blank requires it own independently generated answer without depending on how a prior blank had been completed.

We are looking for a method that assigns either (1) a unique name to every field, regardless of whether multiple fields have some portion of the text preceding each one being identical; or (2) a change in the automation of the field answers so that completing one field with a typed-in answer doesn't ever automatically result in that same answer being copied into a subsequent field.

In trying to figure this out on my own via this Adobe forum, I've found two clues: One says "UNFORTUNATELY THE USE OF AUTOFILL IS A LOCAL USER PREFERENCE AND NOT ONE THAT THE FORM DESIGNER CAN SET" and in another place it tells how to turn OFF Autofill (WHICH NEEDS TO BE DONE, I ASSUME, FROM OUR CLIENTS' END?): EDIT-->PREFERENCES-->FORMS.

Does anyone know if the two ideas in caps in the last paragraph above are true and the answer? Or is there another answer? Thanks!!!
