Completing fields automatically

You can use the Auto-Complete Forms preferences to save time when filling in forms. If
the first few characters you type in a form field match something you've typed in a
previous form field, the Auto-Complete feature either displays a list of the most probable
matches or automatically enters a very probable match for you.

To set Auto-Complete preferences:

1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select

Forms from the list on the left.

2. Choose an option from the Auto-complete menu. When you choose an option, the box

below the option describes the effect of the selected option.

3. If you want to include numerical characters in the auto-complete memory, select

Remember Numerical Data.

To delete one or more Auto-Complete entries from storage:

1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and select

Forms from the list on the left.

2. Click Edit Entry List.
3. In the Auto-Complete Entry List dialog box, do one of the following, and click Yes in the

confirmation dialog box:

To remove all of the entries, click Remove All.

To remove only some of the entries, select the entries and click Remove. Shift-click to
select multiple adjacent entries; Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to
select multiple nonadjacent entries.
