Hey all,

I recently downloaded a form which automatically fills the rest of the fields when I enter something in any single field. In other words, it does not allow me to uniquely fill out each fill.

I was wondering if there was something that I could disable from my end (Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard) or if the problem is with how the form was made.

Thanks,

Jonathan Wang

Acrobat 8 can not edit form fields. You will need the Professional version to be able to modify forms.

Ok...so basically the problem was with how the form was made. And since I have no access to a high version (i.e. Professional) readily at hand, there isn't much I can do...right?

But was I clear on stating the problem with the form that I have?

Yes. The problem is there is either some JavaScript being used to copy data at the field level or the field have the same name and to break the autofilling you would have to rename them. And the Standard version does not have the tools to do this.
